More Training

Shoulder

So, my trips to the physio have resulted in her relenting on the "no training" issue. Apparently, the muscle mass in my shoulder is all that's keeping it in place, so any reduction in it is allowing the joing to plummet earthwards and cause additional pain.

The physio session itself was pretty cool. I was asked to lie down on my back and push my should downwards. Apparently, my body has no concept of how to go about this. Once I got the hang of it, I could actually reduce the pain when doing things simply by holding my shoulder in the right position - win!!

Tuesday

I was shattered, so I just cycled for 30mins while watching Breaking Bad - which is awesome

Wednesday

I was shattered, so I just cycled for 50mins and did some stretching. I also used the dyna-band to give resistance to my "holding the shoulder in it's correct position" excercises, which I think is working.

Thursday

Shoulders
10 sets of 22kg dumbell press for 10 reps each. Sundry rotator cuff excercises.

Friday

10k run along the back roads near the house - felt slow, legs were bust after it.

Saturday

A somewhat lackluster chest workout. Tried benching, was fine up to 100kg, then my shoulder played up a bit. But it was my wrist that was sore - from when I fell over in the Morrisons carpark - sober
