FINALLY I could make the update...

Well I've been really busy with my thesis, but moreover I think all the band and speed work on the bench hurt me. My left rotator cuff got inflated and the right hurt too, and its constantly cracking. I know my posture could be better, and thats what I'm working on. I'm hunched over the computer a good 10 hours a day.

I decided to cut Cresseys programs short to not tempt fate and work on recovery.

Moreover My left hip is really tight and I cant squat, I tried front squats the other day and had to cut that session short with only 40 kg. Even lying bridges to activate my glutes hurt my knees. I tried x-band walks but its like my gluteus medium doesn't respond. I'll keep doing those. From now on I'm gonna do a 5 day a week shoulder rehab (from dieselcrew) combined with the neanderthal no more program. I have yet to make a complete program but I really cant cause I need to try out what works for me.

I diagnosed myself via facepulls and I am now absolutely convinced that my right serratus needs to be activated, only have a minor winging, but for example when I did 30 pushups the other day the next day I can only feel the DOMS in my left lower serratus and lats, which is really frustrating. I manage to activate my serratus better with pullups/pull up retraction and band rows. the push up plus doesnt do the job for me, but band resisted push ups does. At the end of the day I guess it's all about finding out what works for me, what I can and cant do and focus on getting rehabbed what ever it takes.

On a side note I have to take a trip to Ecuador next month for about a month to do fieldwork for the thesis. That'll be nice but not much time for training. Prefer the trip though.

Also I decided to purchase the MBT shoes because I heard wonders on how they can help you correct your posture, and at this point I wanna try everything I can.

Good session considering your hold backs. Hope the problems sort themselves out soon so you can get back to training proper soon.
