Hey brownie. Glad to see you over here.......bashing me.
You may in fact be right. I don't know for sure. But it has become apparent to me, that recovery is critical for gains. Particularly for us older lifters. I don't think riding my mountain bike, single speed at that, would be considered recovery between my workouts.
I am trying to increase weight with each workout. I need maximum strength to do so. I will continue to play around with the riding angle but I won't allow it to compromise my workouts. They are the focus at this time.
As far as the shoulder......it is already much better (lots of icing). Today was bench press and I had absolutely NO ill affects. Overhead is still quite painful. It's just a deep bruise to the lateral deltoid if I were a betting man.
Today's SS log
Squat:
the weight felt on the light side, but the last couple of reps were difficult. No real threat of missing though
160x5x3
Bench Press:
still going up in weight here. It's very heavy but I was still able to complete all reps. I will continue until I fail.
175x5x3
Strict PU's
BWx7x3
Back Ext:
BWx15x3
Super happy with this workout. Pleased that the heavy squat sets felt light enough on my back. Hopefully I can continue to go up for a while.
