So my shoulder was a little achey going into this, so I changed my pressing movement to a machine that had a pressing angle that was less flared out. I intended for this to be less harsh on my elbows. Despite this, my right shoulder has been really achey since completing this yesterday morning. May do my next session on Sunday as opposed to Saturday if it's not feeling 100%.

My hip consultation from 11/16 gave me little insight into the severity of my hip injury. The physical therapist could not provoke symptoms with the equipment that he had in-clinic, and the nurse practitioner could not see anything too alarming on the MRI. She says that I now have the go-ahead to start doing exercises that involve my hips more. She wants me to try to do some exercises that could flare up my hip before coming back in for a follow-up on 12/2. I was so certain that I would be having surgery, but it appears that this is up in the air. I'll start introducing these movements this coming week/weekend.

First time reintroducing romanian deadlifts in months. Being extremely careful to not irritate my hip again, though I know that damage must surely still be there. Shoulder was bugging me a bit during this session. Was in the gym at 11:00 pm after work, which is abnormal for me. Was dead tired.

This actually felt pretty good. Splitting up my sessions because I got off work rather late, and I was instructed to really try to aggravate my hip before my appointment the next morning. Ended up cancelling because I couldn't get it to flare up enough to justify me driving to Nashville to get it evaluated again.
