No Catchy Title. Just Presses

     I don't have too much to say about tonight. Thursdays are my least favorite day - shoulders. Let's get into it:

     I'm happy with the progress on my strict presses as well as the push presses. I belt up for the heavier push presses and that seems to help alleviate any discomfort in my back. As for my shoulder, I'm not sure what the issue is. Those side raises cause a pop/grind sensation. I can't say that it's painful, because it really isn't; it's just uncomfortable. I've hurt my shoulder before and remember it took what seemed like forever to heal. I'm probably being overly cautious, but I don't want to go down that road again.

     I already ate so my belly is full. Now I get to relax.
