Weight: 207. I felt a little twinge in my shoulder during squats. Some pain but nothing too bad. By the time I finished my workout and got to my truck the pain was pretty bad. Now I can barely lift my arm and it actually hurts just typing. I took some Ibuprofen and will take a hot shower before work. I hope to hell this subsides a bit or it will really suck working with one arm tonight. Getting old is a hoot.

The first part of this vid with the ball under the upper back might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzozw2Aso3M

Thanks cha, I'll give it a try. The pain I had on Friday actually went away on my drive to work. It was weird. I went from not being able to lift my arm above parallel in front of me without severe pain to no pain at all and complete mobility. I don't know if the ibuprofen kicked in or what. I felt fine until today:

Today (gym was closed yesterday):

Squat: 135x5; 185x3; 205x2; 225x2; 240x2; 250x2; 260x2
Push press: 95x5; 115x3; 135x1; 155x1; 170x1; 180x1; 190x1. I didn't do a back off set today because something just didn't feel right on my lighter sets. Not as bad as Friday but I still didn't want to risk it.

Weight: 206. I'm going to try something a little different for awhile. Sq, PP and row on Mon & Fri and RDL, CGBP and PD's on Wed. I'm also going to make a concerted effort to get back down to 195 lbs. I just need to be more diligent about what I eat.

Weight: 206. I'm just glad I made it through today. I had a lot of pain in my wrist. I didn't think I could make it through the push presses. It was also hot as hell here is So Cal. We have a Santa Ana cooking and it just sapped the energy right out of me.

Yesterday:

RDL: 135x5; 185x5; 220x5; 245x5

Today:

RDL: 135x5; 185x5; 225x5; 250x4. I was losing my grip on the 250 so I had to put the weight down after 4 reps. My grip in my right hand has gone way down lately. I've had a lot of pain in my right wrist (none today though) and there are nights at work I can't open a bottle with my right hand. I'm not sure if I have tendonitis or arthritis or what. Sucks.

Muscle adhesions in your forearms will cause wrist pain. They're probably the most likely cause.

Time for the lacrosse ball.

Today:

Squat: 135x5; 185x3; 215x3; 235x3; 255x3
Push press: 95x5; 115x3; 135x3; 150x3; 165x3. I was going to do 180x3 but I wasn't feeling too good so I just cut it short. I should have cut it real short...
Pendlay row: 135x5; 155x3; 175x3; 195x3; 215x****myback. The first rep at 215 I felt something in my lower back. It was kind of like a spasm...a jolt of pain and then it locked up. I've had it a lot worse. I was able to walk out of the gym without much discomfort and it isn't too bad right now.

It seems I was a little too optimistic about my back. By last Wednesday night it had really tightened up and I could barely get out of bed Thursday morning. It was a little better Friday but there was no way I could do anything at the gym. It has gotten progressively better to the point where I felt I could do something at least semi productive today. I just wanted to do something and not put any strain on my back if possible.

Today:

Hack squat machine: Just some light warm ups. Does anybody use this thing? I've heard it does bad things to your knees.
Leg extensions: 70x8
Leg curls: 80x8
Goblet squat: 65x8
Push press: 95x5; 115x3; 135x3. I was really out of sorts. I hit my nose with the bar on the way up with 95#. WTF. I could tell my back was limiting me on this so I stopped.
Hammer PD machine: 90x8; 110x8; 130x8
1 arm DB press: 30x8
EZ curl: 70x6; 80x5

Weight: 204. Somehow I lost 3 lbs. Hopefully my back will keep improving so I can do a little more on Friday and next week. I'm going to Vegas next Thursday for my daughter's 21st B'Day so I'll miss next Friday. If everything feels better I'll get back into a normal routine after I get back from LV.

Today:

Goblet squats: 55x5; 70x5; 80x5; 90x5
CG BP: 115x5; 135x3; 155x3; 175x3
Hammer PD: 90x5; 100x5; 110x5; 120x5
Ab stuff

Weight: 205. My back felt better today. It is probably about 90% right now. Still a little sore when I get up from sitting down. It seems fine when I am up and moving around.
