Back on May 24th I had a tremendous Lat and Chest workout. I was training along with one of my clients, so I didn’t record my workout. But, suffice it to say that I had an awesome workout!!! I was the strongest I’ve been in a several years. I did 13 reps on bench press with 225 lbs. I did sets of 8 with 120 lb dumbell on one-arm DB rows. It was just a powerful workout and I felt like a million bucks. Unfortunately the next morning I woke up with a shoulder that felt sore, and it felt like it was swollen in the joint. We were taking a trip to visit Diana’s family in Chicago, so I didn’t think much of it. I figured it would feel better by Monday. Well, it was still sore on Monday and it went downhill from there. By mid-June I could hardly do any pressing movements and shoulder work was out of the question. I started seeing a chiropractor for active release therapy. When my shoulder wasn’t responding to treatment he suggested an MRI. MRI revealed a partially torn rotator cuff tendon, labrum tears, bone spurs and a very inflamed biceps tendon. Last Monday I received a shot of cortisone in the shoulder. The doctor said if the shoulder isn’t functioning properly when I come back on Aug 30th, then surgery will be necessary to repair it. If I don’t have to have surgery I think I will still be able to be ready for the Pro Men’s Physique division at the Houston Pro on Oct 12-13th. Today I measured my bodyfat at 6.1% and weighed 183.9 lbs. This is way down from January when I was at 13.5% bodyfat and only a few pounds heavier.
Keep your fingers crossed for me!
