Well last few days have been really good doing low weight stuff.

Swimming a few times
Lots of lunges and squats with no weight
OHS with broomstick
Regular squat with just a bar
Pullups and pushups
Hypers & reverse hypers
Turkish getups with 25 lbs
+1 hour a day of stretching & shoulder rehab exercises [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

All felt really good. Started doing this new ab thing too - I can't find a name for it, but you do a lying down straight leg lift with a medicine ball between your feet, at the top you pass the ball to your hands and lower your legs and arms to lieing down, then do another leg lift and grab the ball with your feet. Pretty fun.

I wanted to do some kind of hard work today before I gorge tomorrow so I did

Pullups + 15 lbs, 8,7,5
Dumbell military press 30 lbs 8,7,7 (going light for reps)
Deadlift 135x5,160x5,185x5

DL felt really draining but good. It blows I'm not making any progress increasing weights, but I am feeling a lot healthier.

I've been itching to get a high rep week or two in, just to give myself a break from heavy [censored], and to also be able to practice movements more. I feel like since I'm so injury prone it would be a good chance to let my connective tissue catch up to my muscles.

Also, how's your shoulder? What's still wrong with it? If you're able to do OHS and military presses, it would seem like it's pretty healthy.
