All lifts went smoothly up and down, testing my way with a more basic mix of lifts intensity driven with back off volume. I hope it works out in the end with a PR somewere along the line.

Pressday
46,5kgx1
40x4x3
36kgx6x2
Bench
70kgx1
Notes
Left shoulder pain, probably close to deltoid at humerus, maybe tendonit because its slowly getting worse, I dont think its a muscle tear. But I really dont know what the problem is. It hurts mostly on the ascending phase during bench, but every moment hurts during the press movements.

Thursday 1/6-18
Visited my PT today for the first time in 4 years.
I had a perfect body posture, thats a result from barbell training, and really no problem structurally, he believed my pain in upper arm was a nerve that got stuck and didnt glide as supposed when a used the muscles in the press. So that made it signal pain, its likefire along the upper arm from shoulder to elbow when I push the bar with heavy weight. So I now got myself some exercices, among them more deadlift with light weight. Thats good news!

great checkup! i've noticed my posture has improved amazingly since i started this stuff too

Thats good news, by all standards we, at old age, should get worse posture, instead we get better!
