I haven't posted in a while, so here's an update. (I almost dropped off the first page of Journals)

I've been chugging along at the Upper/Lower split that Eric laid out for me. I've been at it for 10 weeks now and I'm looking forward to changing it soon. I have however stopped working on progression for a while. I decided to have my shoulder and hip looked at and pursue physical therapy for both. So, I'm still doing my routine, but concentrating on the stuff the physical therapist wants me to do.

They have me doing a lot of stretching, especially lower body stuff, Quad, Ham, Hip Flexor, and a great shoulder stretch called Sleeper Stretch. They also have me doing some Rotator Cuff exercises and a few lower body movements.

My shoulder and hip have gotten much better over the past few months, but I know they're both still not ready for heavy lifting (presses and squats). So I hope to use the therapy sessions to get my shoulder and hip to a point where I can do a full body routine, or at least something to have the big muscles challenged again. But mostly, I hope to gain an education on what I need to do moving forward to prevent the issues from happening again, and from what I've learned so far, the key is flexibility.
