This week I’ve begun to use a different type of workout.  I’m hitting a lot of volume with very little rest…at least compared to my past several years of powerlifting workouts!

I’m feeling sore muscles again, which is great, and even had a tough upper body workout early in the week that had me yacking in the bathroom!  I’m currently hitting three sets of 15 focusing on control and contraction with light weights…tough for me to use light weights…feels "wierd".  Shoulders are hurting bad, so this workout might be just what the doctor ordered!  Any advice is GREATLY appreciated!!!!

I did a benchpress comp today for the first time in two years, and first time since shoulder surgery.  I was happy not to have injured myself, as well as breaking the 400 barrier with a 405 at 181.  I didn’t train much at all for this one, so maybe I’ll put in some serious training time and shoot for another meet.  Let’s shoot for 440 this time!

I’ve been having some shoulder and biceps tendon pain from heavy DB work.  I asked a wiley BB veteran what I should do, and other than leaving out a few key exercises, he told me to try a stack of Ibuprofen, Vitamin C, and Fish Oil several times a day for two weeks.  So after only a few days of this I noticed a difference.  Chalk one up for the old experienced guys!
