Missed logging a couple sessions. Squatted 325x3x8 and dumbbell overhead pressed 80x4x5. Did 7 on a final fifth set.

Got my brace off last Wednesday. I start physical therapy thisThursday. I almost have full extension of my arm. Supination hurts but I'm pushing it little by little. The doctor twisted it pretty far to test it and it hurt. He asked if I had already started therapy and said he wants to start me on a pretty aggressive program when I told him no. I'm taking that as a greenlight to get the arm really moving.

Did some more exercising of the noodle arm this session beyond the lateral raises. First time applying resistance to it.

SSB box squats
Up to 290 x 5, 5
300 x 5, 5, 5
This has kind of become a back-off day, even though the dead-stop on the box can be tough.

Know what's sad? My shoulder has atrophied so much I drape clothes over it to match the height of my other one so the SSB stays even. It also hurts without muscle cushioning it.

Should be starting physical therapy on my arm soon. This morning I woke up and without thinking extended my injured arm to turn off the alarm. My ROM brace stopped me from fully extending it, and I almost have full extension anyways, so it wasn't brushing with catastrophe or anything (I remember this happening pre-surgery and without anything on my arm, though - I yelped out in pain).

Haven't been keeping up to date on this lately. Training has been very consistent. I actually want to train more than ever. Have been eating to grow but I'm not in crazy bulk mode or anything.

Went through a break-up yesterday but am in good spirits. I made the call for it to end but losing friendship, which is what I wanted us to revert back to, sucks. Oh well.

Cool, a 5x5.

Things are coming along. Moving the 100 again feels good. Weight is light but when I start struggling I get nervous about how arm shakes, so I'm keeping it dialed.
