Good surprise this morning - was above the 85kg i set as an objective for my bulk.

Decided to keep the alimentation up, but to restart swimming slowly, so I would get rid of excess bodyfat.  Can’t wait to see the abs coming back. And swimming should definitely help my shoulder…

Tomorrow is my 2nd shoulder treatment - hope to get better from it again, as I haven’t been able to do a proper shoulder session for ages - good sessions but without presses seems only half of it!

Didn’t think i’d get to 85kg that easily - though it’s not that pleasant… feeling heavy all the time, not quite happy with the visual effect… should get arms up to match size gains in chest and back…

After the visit to the doctor, felt much better… instruction is not to stop training, but avoiding the exercises that are painful for 4 weeks, while the treatment is going on… 

In the evening, shoulder felt much better… decided to work my back, where shoulder and elbow are not too involved…. Gosh! I’d forgotten how pleasant it was to workout and not to be limited by pain! realised i’d been limiting myself for months, not because of strength, but in anticipation of the pain!

Result : i broke several records yesterday without even realising i was training harder than usual…

And i decided to be reasonable (not too often!) and not to train hard on my biceps yesterday… Just made one ex out of curiosity to check the sensations.  If all goes well, injury would be cured within 4 weeks!

And i could sleep without being woken up by shoulder pain for the first time since weeks!!! Great feeling!

Wasn’t a goal as i count in kg, but i found it nice to notice i was over 185lb for the first time in my life.  Just 800g to go and i’m at the aim of 85kg.  Good thing is the bodyfat isn’t as high as for last year’s bulk - feeling it in my clothes, but was more a problem last year - guess the size is better dispatched accross the body.

Will try to maintain around that weight or keep bulking slowly until February to start my cut.

And… today’s the visit to the doctor for my shoulder… hope he’s not gonna tell me to stop and hope it’s not too serious… If that’s getting me back on track, i’ll be able to keep increasing lifts… otherwise, i’ll have to do my legs 4X/w… quads here we go!
