Vegan Weight Training Blog

I was trying to do a lot of weight on the Shoulder Press machine and I hurt my right rotator cuff. I knew I shouldn’t have been messing with that machine. I never use it, but all the benches were full. I didn’t realize how badly I’d hurt it until I started doing some pulldowns and they felt really off. I’m really pissed about this because I’m not going to be able to lift heavy until my shoulder heals–at least not when it comes to upper body stuff. For the month of October I’m going to do mostly cardio and rehab.

It’s another Friday illness. I can’t make it to the gym today. This is very unusual because I rarely get sick.

I’ve upped my cardio to 35 minutes at Fat Burner level 10 on the elliptical machine.

My nose is running a lot and I feel terrible. I think I caught this cold at Jenn’s friend’s funeral. I couldn’t hit the gym today and the rec center is closed for Labor Day on Monday, so I’m off for the next few days.
