Well it feels good to just mess around at the gym a bit. I'm sure this deload will be great for my performance in the end.

Well just thought I would report that my shoulder is feeling good and its my day off of lifting today. Not too sure what I'll do tonight! I'm lost without the gym! haha.

IronWorker

Glad to hear your shoulder is feeling better. Haha if I were you and had some free time, then I would just cook good food and eat for the entire evening.

Oh I'm sure I'll eat.... I dont' know if I'll be able to hold back from the good food that isn't so good for you though! lol

I am sorry for my typing. My keyboard is acting up and ommiting alot of letters if I dont' press hard enough.

IronWorker

lemme find you a link. might help a little with the db shoulder popping :)

Well my shoulder feels fine today. I think I might be a little bit paranoid now when I'm at the gym. Overeacting to any feelings I get... ugh.

I would like to see whatever you got for me there Pity.

not sure if you do this already...but it's worth a shot. i've got fairly noisy shoulders...and doing the presses this way eliminated the noises....and/or the things that were minutely painful. eric is a smart dude :)

So are you suggesting I do partial reps? Or are you suggesting bring my elbows forward 30 degrees or so? Or both?
