I injured my rotator cuff/supraspinatus/neck again, basically meant no big compound moves for me. No bench, no squat, no OHP, row, deadlift. I tried benching an empty bar and it was a struggle controllng it with my left side. Went to clinic, they basically told me to walk it off, pain meds, etc. Been doing bawldibuilding stuff last week or so , plus cardio. About 175 lbs right now @ 5'8" barefoot measured at clinic, and around 23% bodyfat measurement done with lame electronic device. Gotta get that down a bit I guess in the next couple of weeks.
 
Some of the bodybuilding stuff I did this week (including today)
-leg presses, making big gains on those (jumped 50 lbs from earlier this week+more reps) 10-15 reps 3-5 sets
-preacher curls (these are tough for me)
-hammer curls up to 3x10 35lbs DB today
-tricep pushdowns (kinda need to back down on these, as it affects my scapula)
-back extensions 45 degree
-GHR machine
-hamstring curls
-calf raise machine (still sore from earlier this week)
-walking lunges, 55lbs DB across the gym several sets
-hanging leg raises, decline situps
-sat on a bike 50-60 minutes @ 130-155 bpm
 
facepulls with a band
jump rope about 20 minutes with rounds and breaks
45 min cardio bike@ 135 bpm

Gonna run 5/3/1 for a cycle to get back into lifting. I've been injured/lazy last couple of weeks, with quadratus lamborum and nagging scapula issues. Looks like some stability is returning to my shoulder, as I had trouble even holding locked out 135 lbs bench a month ago
