Thanks guys!
Didn't get to check yesterday due to final's schedule... sucked major ass.. BUT it's done for now!
Shoulder update: Yesterday it was not happy. It throbbed a bit all day. Took ibuprofen and iced when I got home. Today it's feeling much better. The throb is gone and I only feel pain if I rotate it far backward or if I apply pressure. I'm still taking the ib and will ice tonite. I will prob sleep with an icy/hot patch as well. Hopefully it will clear up soon and be good to go for SL on Monday!

Well... the shoulder is isn't happy again today. I woke up with that same throb that I had on Monday. I'm thinking that heat is not doing it good, because both days I woke up with the throb I used icyhot to rub into the shoulder. But on Tuesday when it felt pretty good I had forgotten to use it and just used ice. So, I'm thinking that ice is the best choice, I'll be ditching the icyhot and only icing.
Did some cardio yesterday - 20 minutes on the elliptical, back peddling half the time + 15 minutes on the stairway to hell, side stepping intervals, then finished it off with a few sets of leg extensions for the left leg (it's lagging in comparison)
Nothing today since the shoulder is not feeling great, plus Hubby and I have decided to take a long weekend vacation since I'm finally off of school for now so I've gotta pack."The minute you lose confidence in yourself and stop believing... you've lost" by Jan Matthews

Ice seems to be doing the shoulder good! Feels better today, and I've started stretching it out a bit. Looks like deload turned to rest week It's ok after the mini injury and finals I could use it!
Progress pics will wait till after Hubby and I return from our mini vacation this weekend! Also, I most likely won't be able to update until Sunday when we return. So.. eat, sleep, lift and Have a great weekend everyone!"The minute you lose confidence in yourself and stop believing... you've lost" by Jan Matthews

Vacation was awesome & much needed!
We ended up going back to Zion (love it there) just to take in the scenery. We did a few nice and easy hikes about 2hrs each. It was amazing and the weather did not disappoint.
Thanks Lonnie.. I think I'm going to love the 5x5 setup!
With the lower weights, for now, I was using about 60sec between sets. Once it gets a bit more challenging I'm going to need 90 or 120. I'll judge it as it comes.
Shoulder be damned!
Thanks MM... it felt gooood to be back and with no issues
Thanks it was great! Yea I've gotta make sure I keep an eye on it. Iced it as soon as I got home and stretch it out every not and then. I've had no pain.. I hope it stays that way!"The minute you lose confidence in yourself and stop believing... you've lost" by Jan Matthews

*Weights were still nice and light, focusing on form. This was my first time ever doing OHP. A little awkward, but I think once the weight gets a bit heavier I'll get a better feel for it.
*Pulls and Chins were hard! I'm feeling the chubs LOL Once, these workouts get harder I'll drop down to 4 sets ea, 3 sets ea, then phase them out completely. The veins were a popping!
*Shoulder felt good too. Still a little tight setting up for the squat, so stretch stretch stretch
I'll get my 3rd w/o for the week tomorrow, since I missed my previous one yesterday. Have a great weekend everyone!!"The minute you lose confidence in yourself and stop believing... you've lost" by Jan Matthews

Thanks!
Thanks! It was a bit weird. I have to read up on it again to make sure I'm doing it "correctly", I think once I add some weight and not feel like I'm flinging the bar so much I'll have a better idea. It's pretty fun... you should give it a try!

**Decent workout. Still trying to focus on form with everything. There were a couple of times during the squat where the bar felt unusually heavy probably a form issue. Didn't place it on the back properly, or hold it right most likely. I have to get this down. I still had doms from the last sets of pulls and chins and didn't think I was going to be able to hit them all but I did they are going to be dead tomorrow LOL
**Was hoping to get some cardio in tomorrow but I have work during the day then I have to drive all the way to school afterward, then drive back lol so I really don't think I'll have the energy to do so.
**I'm going to snap some progress piccies on Wednesday, now that I'll finally have some time

Ahh well. Trying hard to focus on form... I'm forgetting to lift from the ass making the bar 'feel' heavier than it should.

Don't have time to embed them... sorry guys...
What do you guys think? Bulk doing me good? Lay off the cals/too much flub? Not sure where I should be. I'm pretty sure I'm seeing some good progress (minus the abs which are starting to hide under the fluff )
