Bailed on bench. Between hurt tricep and shoulder it felt like it was doing more harm than good. Quit altogether soon after, hoping a few days rest will calm down some aches.

There's a thin line between pushing yourself hard and just being too dumb to listen to your body. You did the right thing.

Went to the doctor about a month ago and found that my weight was getting out of hand. Cut out a bunch of unnecessary shit and I'm already down about 15lbs. Problem is that it seems like I've lost a little motivation along with the weight. Need to get that figured out.

Shoulder was fucked all weekend. Benching the empty bar hurt today so I didn't bother. Got an appointment in the morning to see if the doctor will inject that shit again. May need to shift focus from getting strong to getting jacked for a while.

Might not be a bad idea. Lighter weights and higher reps means less strain on the injured area. And more blood flow to it, which could promote healing.
Also, if you've been grinding out heavy weights for a while, it can be a refreshing change to just get your Bro on.
Best of luck.

Rare Saturday session. Got my shoulder injected and it took a couple of days to kick in so I took a few days off. Back pain started creeping in so I didn't want to wait until Monday. Kept things simple and light today.
Doctor visit showed that I've lost 25lbs and knocked 60 points off my cholesterol over the last five weeks. Demonstrated how unnecessary it was for me to be as heavy as I was. Going to find out how much strength I lost with that weight, but 285 was flying on bench today.

Slapped together a new program and it's five days per week since there's only one SBD each day. Immediately found out I'll probably miss three days over the first two weeks due to work travel.
