I know you KNOW all this but I don't think you BELIEVE it.

I know it, I believe it, I haven't realized it fully.
I need to talk with one of my friends at the gym. He went for a spell where he didn't flat bench press for months. I think it was up until this week that he hadn't bench pressed in several months. He pushed up a raw PR of 455 easily the day before yesterday. He had a bicep tear & a problem with one of his pecs, I think. I'm hoping he can give me some specific insight about my training since he knows as much about it as anyone & he has had to work around a different issue in a similar manner.
I'm still learning how to mitigate volume & intensity in relation to an injury. It is not at all clear cut. Especially with my shoulder, which is messed up in practically every possible way. Besides the AC joint that nags me (it's barely noticeable today), I'm more balanced/healthy than I've been in a long time. I'm not sure if I know how to train in this state, because I'm walking on thin ice. And I will be for as long as I train. It seems like I hit a speed bump at every workout.
