Right shoulder started hurting on the 225 bench, so shut it down at 10. But even 10 at that point was a challenge, which took me by surprise.
Weighed 203 in the morning before breakfast. Roughly 20 lbs lost since January. Feeling small and weak, but LOOKING stronger in the mirror. I'm also always benching close to my most intense conditioning night at boxing and usually have some manner of shoulder soreness coming in to these sessions. What's really nuts is that my traps got sore from doing a shoulder circuit with 3 lb dumbbells Friday night at the gym. This isn't one of those "you can make light weight feel heavy" anecdotes, either; it wasn't even hard. Crazy.
Speaking of boxing, got a new pair of Rival bag gloves over the weekend. They feel amazing to wear: lighter but with more protection than my Muay Thai gloves. They're most certainly not for sparring, as the ends feel you'd be on the receiving end of a rock getting hit by them, but once I get medical paperwork and start sparring, I'll pick-up some 16 oz Winning or Onyx gloves to spar with.
