Building a Better Jay

So, over the weekend I didn’t get a chance to measure my bf%.  (What can I say?  It was a crazy weekend with very little "me" time.)  That’s OK, though.  I still have my goals for August / September.

Goal #1: Get back my full-ROM and get cleared to lift again with my shoulder.

Goal #2: Get down to 10% bf with reasonable nutrition.

Yes, that is all.  I think that is a full plate - pardon the pun.   I’ll be updating later today or tonight with my nutrition / training plan for the coming months!

Motivation is definitely here today.  I got to use some weight at PT last night and I was able to use the elliptical trainer at the gym this morning with no pain.  It’s nice to have options.    I’m hoping to start running again in two weeks!

Anyway, like I said, my motivation is definitely there today so I want to capitalize on that and start thinking about goals and milestones toward achieving them.

My first thought is a body weight / bf% goal.  I’ll set that goal over the weekend once I determine where I am now!   My goal is still <10%bf and 150lbs, but I’m not going to be able to lift heavy enough to add much mass for awhile yet.  Before I get there, I need to reach goals like: 100% ROM with my right arm.  I’ll ask my PT to measure me up tomorrow and see where I am.  Another good goal would be symmetry.  My right arm / pec / delt / lat have atrophied during immobilization and the subsequent lack of use.  It’s obvious if you look at me and I don’t like it one bit.

So, that’s a good start, I think.
