Tuesday’s back and bicep workout/shoulder; It’s leg day.

I’m surprised at how quickly my shoulder has recovered from my last two upper body workouts. It was hurting a little yesterday morning after Tuesday’s fairly heavy back and bicep workout, but it’s feeling much better today. On Tuesday I did dumbbell curls, hammer curls, chin-ups, dumbbell rows and pull-ups. I had no problem going heavy when doing the back exercises (dumbbell rows and chin-ups), but I noticed some shoulder pain when performing the curls, especially the hammer curls. I went pretty heavy on those, though – just 5 pounds less than what I was using prior to my shoulder injury. I’m still experiencing some shoulder pain if I lift something very heavy or if I move it in a certain way, but I do think it’s finally starting to heal. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I’m probably going to give my shoulder a chance to recover from the past two workouts by not doing my normal upper body workouts on Saturday and Tuesday. It’s obviously not fully healed, and I don’t want to risk hurting it again.
I’ve got a big day of work ahead, so I need to get going so that I can get my leg workout in. I hope it’s as good as last week’s workout – my legs were still sore as late as yesterday, but they feel great this morning.
Talk to you tomorrow, have a great day!
