Sounds like mine Skee. Likely a shoulder impingement. If it is, I recommend staying away from side laterals and any presses for now.1

Will do Niner - Thanks for the heads up mate. Ive seen many shoulder injuries at work (insurance) to know they can be complex to rehab depending on the nature & severity of injury. Hoping its nothing too significant.
I'll have an update after i see the physio later this week.

Happy Monday !
Feel bad ive been MIA but have been in recovery mode since last week with shoulder & heel injury - no workouts since last week.
Physio said i have a shoulder impingement. Nothing too sinister like a tear so im happy with that. Physio identified issues with how my shoulders pull forward (from bad posture, desk work, etc) & i wasnt using other muscles to perform certain movements instead of my shoulder. More physio booked in and ready to get this sorted and stronger!

Cardio: 18,901 steps
Strength:
- Flat BB Bench (3x15)
- Incline DB Press (3x15)

Hi all! Forgot to post yesterday. Between the holiday weekend and getting a tattoo friday night (happy early birthday to me!), I've been working out on and off.
Here's yesterday:
Cardio: 25min incline walk
Strength:
Off regular schedule due to tattoo on shoulder.
- Cable rows (1x20, 1x15, 1x12, 1x10)

- External rotations (3x15)
- Jump squats (3x20)
- Sit ups (3x20)
- Push ups (3x20)
Assessment: Gettin tattoo on my shoulder probably helped me let it rest as it needed to avoid a shoulder impingement of my own! Working on adding in rotator cuff exercise days on my UrbanKick days.
Pigged out on Thurs/Fri, but was able to avoid rice/rolls/potatoes, so I could have more dessert. Did okay on Sat, and was back to normal food schedule and choices on Sunday, so feeling pretty good there. Gyro greek salad for dinner last night, and cauliflower rice with chicken katsu tonight. 1 -
I know I’ve been gone for awhile. I was the new person and I left. You were probably thinking another one bites the dust. Well I’m back and for good this time. I’ve got to get healthy and in better shape for myself and my family. I really want this. Even though I haven’t been logging or working out, I’ve managed to maintain my weight. Even through thanksgiving!
Cardio: 10 minutes treadmill 3.8mph
Strength: 3x10 leg press
3x10 chest press
3x10 lat pull downs
5x10 rows (goodbye back fat)
3x10 overhead press
4x10 ab crunch
3x10 straight leg dead lifts
Assessment: Even though I’ve missed a couple of weeks, I feel like I can move up in weight on a few things next time. I’ve been doing the same weight since I started. I’ve been really focusing on form. I need to work on my diet more. We’ve been eating out a lot due to hustle and bustle of life and Christmas shopping. Had Sweet and sour chicken tonight.
It’s good to be back!!!!2 -

I’m ordering The Year One Challenge for Women to help me get better organization with my time at the gym. I’m not very knowledgeable with workout routines and feel this will really help me reach my goals. Tostadas tonight.1 -

Happy thursday all! Thanks for the birthday wishes !Welcome back @aganey. And good to see a new face, @DISCIPLINEEQUALSFREEDOM .
I'm gettin bad at logging my workouts night of. D=
Here is yesterday's:
Cardio: 25min incline walk
Strength:- Plank up-and-downs (3x15)
- Pec fly (1x20, 1x15, 1x12)
- Incline db bench press (2x15, 1x12, 1x8)
- Db bench press (2x15, 1x12, 1x8)
- Close-grip bench press (1x20, 2x15)
- Tricep extensions (3x15)

Assessment: Shoulder is feeling better, and I took extra time to warm it up today. Eating mostly good, but having dessert more often than I'd like (Logging with CICO always makes me think I can have it everyday). Trying to maintain weight until January, then back to cutting hopefully with dessert only once a week. Lemon chicken with zucchini noodles and veggies for dinner.2 -
Welcome DEF!!!!!0

Hey everyone! Welcome DEF!
Cardio: Just cleaned around the house. Caught up laundry so I can pack for my sons soccer tournament this weekend. I haven’t sat much at all today so I consider that cardio because I usually sit more than I did today.
Strength: Rest day
Assessment: I plan on hitting the gym tomorrow morning before we leave to go out of town. This weekend will be a lot of eating out but I am going to make the best choices I can and not use it as an excuse to splurge.
Also, wish my son’s team luck! He has 3 games Saturday (7:30, 10 and 12:30) poor thing. He’s going to be so tired, he’s only 10. If we win our bracket Saturday then we play again Sunday. If we win Sunday then off to state we go! I’m one proud mama regardless of how we do!2 -
@aganey Awesome job staying on track and working with your schedule. I hope your son wins! Those game times are brutal--he's gonna be wiped out or ravenously hungry. Probably both!
Now for today's workout...
Cardio: 1 mile run (8:20 time)
Strength:- Leg extensions (1x20, 1x15, 1x12)
- Lying leg curls (1x20, 1x15, 2x12)
- Leg press (2x15, 1x12, 1x10)
- Squats (1x20, 1x15, 1x12, 1x10)
- Stiff-leg dead lifts (1x20, 1x15, 1x12, 1x10)
- Calf raises (3x25)
Assessment: Quad is feeling 100%, so I upped the weight today and hit a bunch of PRs, particularly on my leg press, squat, and deadlift. Super tired after and bit light-headed, so I skipped cardio to come home and cook dinner. Balsamic beef roast with cauliflower rice and green beans tonight. Instant pots are pretty dope. 1 -
@zeuggma thanks! I’m really REALLY going to try to do 3 days a week of lifting. When I go tomorrow that will be accomplished for this week! Sometimes it’s hard because my husband shift works. He’s been waking up all week (he’s been on nights) during the day to let me go workout while he watched our toddler, then going back to sleep when I get home. I’m lucky to have such a supportive husband because I don’t know if I could wake up in the middle of my sleep like that. Also, yes my son will be both tired and hungry...plus grouchy I’m sure lol. I’m going to keep plenty of snacks on hand. I’ll let y’all know how they do!1
