I was finally able to get in and see the doctor who performed my last shoulder surgery. Received some encouraging news, X-rays looked good, he said my shoulder looked good. He believes that something was stretched out that hadn't been in a while which caused all my pain. I have a sense of relief after that visit, feels like I've been given another opportunity, and I plan to make the most of it.

First day working upper body in over two weeks, was extra cautious in the gym today. There were some movements that had my shoulder in discomfort, but nothing serious. It will take a little time to strengthen it up, I'm just grateful to be back in the gym, my chest was dead by the end of this one.

Day 2 of the comeback, ISO pulldowns felt great, I implemented a pause, and really fought the negative, my lats were on fire. I did one set of continuous grip deadlifts and my lower back wasn't feeling right, hopefully it will feel better after a hot shower.

Just attempting to get back into the swing of things, the injuries last month alone was 4 different things. My wife's pregnancy has me stressed out, I just need a couple weeks and I should be back to normal, hopefully better than normal.

No problems with my shoulder today which is a great thing, usually the angle of the incline bb leaves me in a little discomfort, so I left the gym optimistic today. Like I said yesterday, as long as I can consistently make it to the gym I should be back to normal in a couple weeks.

I hate doing a back workout and not being able to deadlift, but I've been allowing my lower back to heal, hopefully within the next couple weeks I can start again, and eventually work up to the heavy stuff.

Felt really good about this workout, no problems with the shoulder at all, tonight we're having our 2nd wrestling event in town, I love this events obviously because it's our product we're putting forth, and because I don't have to travel which I've done a significant amount of this year.

Halfway through this workout I had to call myself out on slacking off and I'm glad I did, kicked it into high gear and finished strong. My squat has always been incredibly weak, but with the injuries, the layoff has made it worsen. In due time I'm going to put back on my size, strength and weight, and leaner this time.
