TuesdayMuch faffing about and, for whatever reason (the cycle or food or talking about my deceased brothers 'estate'?) it took me AGES to get to sleep. Like 1am. Yet...Seated PressThose following all my logs will know that I had, going back almost 2 years, an issue with what is called a 'frozen' shoulder. The right was worse than the left. Age + wear and tear added to that. A year or so ago I had a cortisone jab into the right and I do a LOT of super light (broomstick) warm ups on bench and shoulder sessions. Today...to 100kg x 4 reps - first time in 2 yearsSaxon Bar workI didn't add this Friday because I had the tiniest bit of soft tissue soreness at the base of the right thumb. Plus that would have been the new/unseasoned with chalk bar.to 95kg x 4 x 3 non stop (bar didn't even touch the floor) reps and 1 x 8 reps. Felt strongBwt: 328.5lbs

FridayOne week in to the bulk/sus and deca cycle and today was... well see for yourself. My stomach was doing it's 'you strain with heavy weights have some of this' today.
