anabolic's road to anabolism

[anabolic]

Yesterday's "session":

Sumo Deadlift
140x5
140x5

I pulled my groin or something during the deadlifts so couldn't do any front squats. Was so damn cold in that gym just didn't get warmed up properly. Feels fine today though. Back to pressing next week fingers crossed.

Feckin hell, shoulder STILL felt dodgy today, only whilst squatting funnily enough :S Think I'll book a physio appointment. To be fair had so much work lately that the injury's kind of been a blessing in disguise, giving me more free time.

Hello people, it's been a while since I posted, been off with a shoulder injury and hence haven't been able to train at all. Well now it's time for my tentative return to the gym (fingers crossed). Had a physio earlier this week. Had a (painful) sports massage, and he suggested that my shoulder pain was most likely due to having a low bar position whilst squatting. This was making my shoulder rotate to an uncomfortable position. So I'm going to start back light, giving back squats a miss for the time being. Then I'll slowly start to reintroduce them using a high bar position. Hopefully this should work. Anyway, on to today's session. I'll be following the texas method.
