Been like 3 months since I squatted. Really surprised how easy it felt going up to 315lbs. Although, my legs started getting a little shaky, probably since it's been so long since I've had weight on my back. That's the same feeling I had in my arms when I was benching and messed my shoulder up, so decided not to test my strength too far right off the bat.

I'm sure the CNS is just tanked.

Strength is the last to go in my experience so far. I've had a significant amount of atrophy in the upper body but, lifts I can perform for upper like, the lateral machine and pec fly machine that doesn't use the hands, have progressed during this down time.

This last week I touched some weights with the bad wrist and they didn't feel heavy at all but, I was definitely shaky with minimal load.

Yes I'm sure I just need to get my body used to the weight again.

Today was pretty boring. Blew my tire out last night. Stuck at home. Getting it fixed tomorrow morning.

Very productive day. Made $200 from work. Put another $1k into Tesla and MSTR when they bottomed out. Did some quick stuff with a 25lb dumbbell, few sets of front raises, overhead press, lateral raises, back flys. A little too much weight for front raises. I could tell that exercise put too much pressure on me. Otherwise, good quick workout.

You should buy some of that Bitcoin stuff....I hear it's pretty good

Funny story, years ago I took Bitcoin as a payment option for coaching. It's right when it became more prevalent on the forums. I saw all the guys talking about investing in it but, I've always been a "I'll keep my money in a coffee can buried in the backyard" kinda guy. (Seriously have a few buried) But, I let it sit for a while then cashed it all out and made a few grand. I think it had started to tank or something when government regulation started to get talked about and I figured it was dead. Boy was I fucking wrong.

I would probably have half a million bucks in the shit now if I hadn't touched it.

I guess that's not funny at all really....... Kinda sad lol.

Hey I had something similar happen. I started investing in 2019 after I broke up with my ex. Around 2022 I had a good bit of bitcoin. I got scammed into a mining program. I connected my wallet to an outside source and banmm, years of investing gone in an instant. You could say that was a learning experience. I got so depressed I stopped investing for two years. Which sucks because 2022-2024 was probably some of the best opportunities that will ever happen in the market. Oh well, just gotta push forward now and I'll get it back on track. :)

Soooooo, what's the news on the shoulder?
Click to expand...

Feeling better. Just working into things slowly with lighter weight. I get little bouts of inflammation here and there. If there is a major concern that nothing is getting better in the coming weeks, then I'll get it looked at. But for now, trying to avoid that if I don't have to, lol. Also starting to use my BPC/TB regularly instead of just doing it inconsistently.

Good luck, I'll be watching
 
Shorter workout than the back day. Of course, I have to be a little easier on pressing days. When I did incline presses, didn't do full range just to be safe. I also feel a little pull in my bicep when I do pressing movements, interesting that I have so much bicep damage from a benching injury. Anyway, left arm is a lot weaker than right side on a lot of these movements. Triceps were especially hard to train, shoulder was really inflammed on pushdowns. Tried using a tricep bar, shoulders did NOT like that so went with a dumbbell for extensions. I'll probably just use the cable next time. Finished off with a set of flys. Decent workout, I'm sure it will progress over time.

Found some time to do a quick workout. Hip flexors were still a bit tight so didn't go heavy on squats. Instead, focused more on accessories. I gotta get this paranoia out of my head, every time I start getting up there in reps or weight, I start thinking about a muscle popping again. I'm sure with time, my body will get more accommodated to the weight again.

Happens to all of us after an injury but try to get that out of your head. If you aren't 100% sure of the lift beforehand, don't do it. Learned that the hard way and more than once. lol

Good to see you back at it.

Shoulders can be a bitch. Take it slow getting back into it. You'll get over it mentally as you heal up and progress.

Oh yeah. There's certain movements that I'm definitely like nope. All in time.

On the side note. I knew my appetite was off today. Started getting nasty burps. Felt a bit lethargic. Think the meat was in the fridge a bit too long or something. Oh well, I'll feel better by tomorrow.

Slow and easy bro. Remember... the turtle won the race!
 
Despite still feeling a little worn down from yesterday, had a good workout. I feel like my strength is progressing nicely as this is my second back day I've done. I'm doing a push, legs, pull routine with a day off. So basically 3 on, 1 off. On my off days I was simply going to walk for an hour at a 3.5 speed on a treadmill and work on flexibility. But as I'm feeling a little worn down, I think tomorrow will be a good day to just be lazy. Maybe just work on flexibility a bit.

Might think about doing 2 on 1 off for a bit until you're back up to snuff physically.

I tried to go from upper lower rest repeat to push pull legs rest and it was too much frequency the first couple sessions. Now I'm just going to roll with 2 on 1 off until I'm back up to normal.

Gotta remember, even though the body has "rest", if it's been a good amount of time without really training, those training sessions you do get in while climbing back to will take a bigger toll.

Good idea. Thanks for the input. :)
 
Felt a lot better second round of push day. Just didn't want to go to failure on inclines because of the stretch on the pec muscle just to be safe. Pushdowns still making my shoulder feel inflamed, but better than last time, was worn down by the time I got to extensions to do much on that movement.

Didn't want to go heavy, my bicep is also messed up, not just the shoulder. So didn't want to pull anything. Anyway, deadlift is always something I have to get into the groove of after not doing it for so long. It's not my best movement, I'm not really built for it, so just practicing form. Also, my legs are always shaking violently on hyperextensions after a big movement. Probably just CNS stress like Montego said.
