Deloading this week, feels good man. My shoulder/tricep/lat thing is still not healed/healing and I’m a bit frustrated with it. If I goto the doc he will just want to ultrasound it, which really doesn’t do much at this point. I don’t know what I could be doing that is prolonging it, other than all the shoulder rehab stuff, so I am going to lay off that for a while.
Since this is deload week I just did a bunch of light chest, tri, and back work. Did light paused bench work and I can tell I need a lot of work there. I think I will continue to do paused benching in place of my last high rep set of 12 that I’ve been doing every bench session. Something like sets of 12’s up to 225, then paused triples with moderate weight from 245-285. Anyways, that’s about it.
