Band pressdowns, curls

Left shoulder is pissy from one of the bench sets. Felt pain when I tried to do banded chest press and it's clicking a little now. Should be fine in a day or two.

I feel like I'm doing a lot for a gain of little to none under my current weight status, basically hovering around 194 consistently. Too often I extend the length of my workout to squeeze in yet another "thing", but I'm just not seeing the benefits play out if I'm not gaining weight it seems. As far as recovery goes, I also need to consider how much shadowboxing I'm doing between lifting sessions, some of it very intense, and this is only going to increase when I go back to the studio.

I also think I'd benefit from being in my workouts a shorter period of time but this is tough with work interrupting me. My answer to that is get to it earlier and hit it hard and fast.
