2/1
chiro - He says I strained a capsule and the nerve is causing that muscle to give me trouble. He examined me much more thoroughly and asked a lot more questions that the doctor from the other day. No surprise there. He really worked me over with ART and adjusted my spine in some additional ways today. While he was working on me, I asked if he thought I'd be able to lift right away or if I should wait. He said it would depend how my spine moved. It moved well, so he gave me the green light to lift, but told me to keep my shoulders pulled down & back when I lift. Yeah, that was the problem - holding those chains up on the shoulders put them in a bad position, which caused all this crap to happen.
With all that ART today, the soft tissue stuff went really quick. I didnt time anything, but I'd guess soft tissue took maybe 10-15 minutes.
DL
145*10, 235*5*2, 325*3, 375*3, 415*1, 465*1, 475*2 pr - this felt very good. I used straps for the last two sets.

The program I've been following called for one more set of 475*2, and a lot of accessory stuff, but I figured I'd be safe since I'm still dinged up a bit.
skipped the trap bar DLs, KB swings, DB rows & good mornings.
palms forward pull ups
5 - this didnt feel right, so I stopped
face pulls
85*10 - this wasnt good either
no money with small band - 10, pull aparts - next bigger size band - 10 - these didnt do much of anything
pnf d2 flexion
25*10*2
these felt ok
EQIs did not feel good at all, so I only did ~10 seconds each then quit.
If I had this workout to do over again, I would have done the trap bar DLs after the DLs, then maybe some shoulder I T & Ys and called it a day.
I'm going back to the chiro on Friday.
Here's a link to a lot of good stuff from Mike Robertson. Some of it is new to me, but most of it is stuff he had me doing already. The EQI vid in this link is the best one I've seen.
