Have a nasty head cold and I really didn't think working out would accomplish anything. No gym for me today... wah. Besides, last time I tried to lift heavy while sick, it wore my immune system down so bad that the sickness pretty much just walked right in and raped me. lol Not doing that again.

IronWorker

did it rape you like imaginary christmas critters :)

Worse. Much worse.

You know its been all this time and I've never bothered to learn how to do that... how do I do that?

IronWorker

Has a nice ring to it, but it's different. Progressive. I like it.

We could call it "IronWorker - SS gone WestSide"

Well I decided to stay light today since I'm still a little sick. So what better day to work back into the BB bench. I used a closer grip then I have been (hand centered between the two rings if you have a standard bar). I focused on keeping the elbows in as tight as I could and staying very controlled on ascent and decent. As soon as I felt the form slip a little I racked it. I think it went pretty well. No hurting yet.

Pretty close grip. I was thinking about doing 8x3 but my speed really slowed on my last set so I quit there. I noticed in the mirror that my left shoulder droops lower then my right... wtf. The left is the one that has been giving me problems btw.

Well I think I may have made it through BB bench and M press without hurting my shoulder. Won't know for sure until tomorrow but it feels tired right now but not sore. I'll let ya know.
