'bout all in the tank so I capped it there. I started back on a statin to give it another run. MY LDLs are high but they have always been sort of high so Bada Bing who trains with us and is a Doc too put me on 5mg which is a light dose. I don't know if it is in my head but the joints hurt and there is no pop in anything which is why I got off them the first time. I told him I would give them a honest shot for 2 months but the way I feel now it may not go that far. We will see. What I need is about 2 weeks of sleep and a nice sunny beach and no dietary restrictions. Anyhow, still gonna train till the leg or shoulder fall off again.Ha Ha.

F-earlyam


Friday upper today was alot of shoulder concentration.

-TRXy ab strap extensions mixed with pec deck rear delt. 10x10 each.

-Log press hang clean press. 8 x8to 10 reps per. Really uncomftable move for the left shoulder but pushed on through.

-Kb see saw presees. Another really uncomfortable move for the left arm. 5setsx 8 per arm.

-Took the loadable dumbell handles and did flyes on the floor with push ups at end. 10x10 each

Lots of stinging in the arms and shoulders so I know got in there. I have started growing the goatee again so the longer it get the harder I will push.
