Back in Action

I'm feeling like a fat lazy bastard lately, so I'm quite happy to be able to lift some weights again and I feel like things are moving well with the injury.

Thurs Sept 15th 2011
(Light loading, neck injury still prevalent)

Military-4 sets of 5 @ 135lbs, 1 set of 18 @ 135 These took some time before I could find the correct position, but caused not pain or severe discomfort while doing them. (I did however hate life the next morning)
Attempted Chins, but the hang position felt nasty

Incline DB press-60X12, 80X12, 100X12, 100X12 (Incline was fine, flat causes major irritation in my neck)
DB Row-40X15/arm, 60X15/arm, 80X15/arm, 100X15/arm (Feeling these out with a slow progression up in load, felt fine, putting the DB back on the rack was uncomfortable, but while in correct position for rowing, everything felt fine)

Dips-2 sets of 20

Overall, I still find this very frustrating to not be able to go 100%, but I'm very happy that I was able to load in a few different positions and not have any problems. I did wake up with considerable pain in my neck and shoulder and a bad headache. I received treatment on Friday as well and I understand that the treatment will contribute to the healing, it was very irritating and caused me a lot of pain.


Sunday Sept 18/2011

Incline bench-135X10, 190X3, 220X3, 245X6, 255X1, 255X1, 255X1, 135X20
Face pulls-4 sets of 20 @60

Bent over rows-5 sets of 15@ 135

DB Military- 60X12, 60X12, 60X12
Lat pulldowns- 160X15, 160X15, 160X15 (Used a limited range as to avoid irritation)

Db side raise-3 sets of 12
DB Curls- 4 sets of 10

Much less irritation, felt pretty good throughout and afterwards.
