Jim vs. His Own Damn Shoulder, Plus Squats

On June 5th, I knocked out a half-Murph. That night, my dog had a nightmare, I went to pet him, tripped over a box fan in the dark, and managed to re-aggravate the injury to my left trap muscle that’s plagued me for the last 17 years.

At least I didn’t hurt it by sneezing this time.

So, I took two weeks off. The second week was even easier to skip than the first, since I spent it at a conference in Philly. Not working out made packing and scheduling easier.

But now I’m back, and it’s time to get back to it.

Back squats
205 x 3
185 x 4

Front squats
165 x 3
150 x 4

Overhead squats
105 x 3
95 x 4

I basically took the weights from the last time I did this workout, and re-figured them as reverse pyramids (I did drop back a bit for the OHSs, since I’m still trying to take it easy on the trap). It went about as well as expected.

Good to be back.
