Got that, and I'll try that maybe next week when the delt is really better Oldster. Thanks. Man, my entire right upper quadrant was off kilter, so said she of the magic hands, my chiro. As you thought Oldster, the 1st and 2nd ribs were out but then so was my T2 and several other cervical vertebrae. Oh, and my right collar bone along with my right scapula. It felt a good deal better today.
5 minute warmup on the bike.
Overhead Press: 150 x 5 x 3 + 130 x 10. This seemed a little more difficult than it should after recent triumphs, but no problems or stalls, so nothing to complain about.
Bench Press: I started with the empty bar and the new tips from Oldster and Jamie and the delt, while much better, still felt a little kinked at the bottom end of the movement on the solar plexus. So I did 3 reps and decided to let some more resettlement of the skeletal frame and some more recovery happen to any offended ligaments or tendons. As such I didn't even attempt my scheduled cross armed front squat for today so as not to play fast and loose with the shoulder structure in some other unforeseen way.
I did a GXP and really spiked up my heart rate (unintentionally) to 146 bpm which is 91% of MHR. I think this happened because of the lingering congestion in my lungs. I have a huge wheezing issue when I exhale with some high pitched whistles that would set dogs to barking if we had any near our house. Still hacking up incredible loads of stuff. Foam rolling and stretching and then off to work for some more desk-to desk-combat to round out the week.
