Red Mosquito

I worked out after my run. Just like running I'm not quite where I was but actually I might feel the best in terms of upper body that I ever have.

Played some hockey and went for a skate yesterday afternoon and worked out in the evening.

left shoulder is hurting pretty bad from weight training.

My right shoulder has hurt since November 3rd, the day of the Astros victory parade. I was trying to get a lift up a floor on the outside of a parking garage and didn't have the arm strength to really make the move.

Any suggestions on how to stretch and heal this persistent pain?

Put one knee and one hand on a bench with your other leg on the ground. Basically, your upper body is parallel to the ground. Grab a light weight - 3 lbs maybe. Then with palms forward just do a reverse fly with the arm of the shoulder bothering you. If you're doing it right, the weight will be perpendicular to the ground at the height of the lift. High reps, low weight. Most shoulder injuries, I'm told, are due to weak muscles in your back. I had awful shoulder pain. I attribute it getting better to this move more than anything else.

Thanks a lot. This one is really bugging me (especially when I sleep), and I'd like to build up the upper body after I take care of this so it won't happen again. I'm thinking about rock gyms.

No worries. Embarrassingly, I think my pain came from overuse due to ping pong. I saw a p.t., and he gave me several exercises. That one I could do pretty much anywhere, so I did it religiously, and the pain went away after a while. All dudes focus on the chest, but for health, a strong back is where it's at.

Back at it; pilates class Tuesday and 45 minutes of weight work yesterday with 15 minutes on the treadmill each day. I was expecting the place to be packed with resolutioners; it was crowed but not overly so.

Did my first gym session for the year, and then went for a run. Should have known that would be a bad idea given the heat outside. Got back to work - had an ice-cold shower and yet I'm still sitting at my desk all like......

Just finished my first week of crossfit. Wow!

everything was bar down today. bar down or bar up. I had a puck go over a baseball backstop and onto the side walk.

First real workout this afternoon in a week nearly killed me; it’s like I’m starting all over.
