Hard on my shoulders normally, just did it because I didn't want to do any pressing with my trap pain

Idk if you already do this, but what helped me on dips was keeping my elbows as tucked as possible, and using a more narrow grip. I also think they're best done on the captain's chair instead of the one with the swivel handle things

The dip bar at my gym kind of angles, like a /\ shape. I put my hands to the closer area.

That trap/spinal erector pain was a way bigger injury than I though. Was in a lot of pain even the day I did chest, and even now it's not 100%. Finally went in for some chest, will hit back lightly tomorrow and see how I feel. Felt good to take that time off though, shoulder pain is gone, dat over training?

First back day since the initial injury, first non-chest day too lol (I snuck an arm day in at once point but didn't even bother to record it, it's just arms). Won't lie, I was really nervous about this workout since I didn't want to aggravate it.

Dat Ramadan lean gains.

Know your feel though. Those nearly two weeks off was combined with several barbeques, nights of drinking, not giving a phuck. Reko helped me justify it by saying it would help me heal. Saw pics of self at barbeque, brb bloat and disgusting.

Every set was really hard after the pull ups. I find that pull down motions (the hammerstrength machine is between a row and a pull down) don't bug my trap, but rows do. Even those cable rows didn't feel that good.

Lots of volume on the basic lifts, I love the set up of your workouts! I have been off the boards for awhile, but just started a new journal (link in my sig).

Thanks! I just try to focus on the big 3 (and weighted pull ups and OHP when my trap is better) then add from there everything is bonus.

Was a mediocre leg day because my groin area was really really sore from lunges. I didn't feel sore until I started squatting though so I didn't realize.
