The quote about sums up my workout today. Shoulders today as the priority and sometimes it goes good and other times not so good. My shoulder and upper back were up to no good today after my warm ups so that just pissed me off. My energy level was shitty, side effects of the holidays too much sugar and not enough activity to burn thru it.
Just like my code named shoes I said SUCK IT UP PRINCESS!
No PR today in the seated DB press, but at least I was able to handle my top programmed weight. Increased my weight on the bench press by 10 lbs and managed to push thru my work sets. The rest of the workout went off without a hitch.
Got myself booked with my chiropractor who specializes in ART (active release technique) next week. It worked awesome on my lower back and I had two treatments on this shoulder/upper back issue a few months ago but my plans ran dry so I stopped...New year coming up so time to sort this issue out.
Next plan of attack is working on my activity levels during this time of year. More walks during my lunch breaks at work and more walks outside of work. For me in general when I start slacking in the cardio department it affects my overall energy levels and my workouts. But like everything it is a fine line between too much and too little activity. Plus the correct type of activity that benefits your goals are key to success. What I learned is doing my normal workouts with about 3 to 4 sessions of 4 min air dyne workouts a week plus some walking is NOT enough for me. Therefore I must adjust.
