Week7 - Day17B - Twist & Ow

Weight:  181.2 lbs Duration:  12:08 - 1:15 ~ 53min.

Squats:  3x5xBar + 5x55 + 3x75 + 2x95 + 5x5x125

Right shoulder wasn't cooperating much again today.  The bar doesn't seem balanced on my back, there is a slight "twist" in the way the bar is position as if I'm driving the bar forward more on one side than the other.  I can feel my right traps engaging more than my right.  Since my right shoulder isn't as mobile, I've been resorting to having a slightly wider grip on the right side.  This relaxes my traps and rear delts, this could explain the twist.

Seated Plate Raises:  3x10x25 Seated Lateral Raise:  3x10x10 Seated DB Shrug + Clean + Half Press:  3x8x10

Not bad, went down to 10lbs today from 12 lbs.  There's this strain that I get sometimes in the back of my neck when doing the lateral raises.  Should look up what's going on.  I'm banking on it being bad form.

Deadlift:  5x115 + 3x135 + 1x155 + 5×175

I may need to get some pads on the plates, dropping the bar to the ground is really loud in the gym and I get the feeling one of the workers is going to come up to me and say something.  I think I was using a little of my lower back, but I don't have much DOMs today from the deadlifts, just slight bruising on the shins.  This is definitely getting a bit heavy

*Accessories: *Preacher BB Curls 10x40 Seated DB Curls 10x25 Tricep Extensions 10x40 Incline Bench 10xBar Tricep Pushdown 10x40

Tricep pushdowns were fairly heavy, probably shouldn't have done 40 lbs!
