Tuesday in the gym was a good workout, but not as good as I was hoping for. I have struggled with the right shoulder for a couple of weeks so it has kept me from lifting better on my shoulder presses. While the shoulder is getting better and the glucosamine is definitely helping it, it still needs something else. Michelle Berger, the BuffMother herself, recommended Lubriflex or Move Free as a supplement to help. So I have been checking into both of them and I think I will add the Move Free to my supplements to help that shoulder a bit more. The product has Glucosamine in it as well as joint fluid. I believe this might be the key to stopping this sandy grinding feeling in the shoulder. I wish I knew why the shoulder was an issue as I have never injured it in anyway nor had any problems with it. But maybe it is just age...whatever it is, I will find a way to fix it!
The workout was for the shoulders and mid-section. Husband and I had a medium workout planned (2-3 sets of each exercise). Amazingly I was able to push the shoulder a bit more and add a higher weight...I am feeling it this morning. Here is the workout for Tuesday night:
Shoulder Press: 45 x 8 x 1; new weight 50 x 8 x 1; 50 x 6 x 1
Lateral Raises: 35 x 8 x 1; 30 x 10 x 2
Abdominal Crunches: New weight 70 x 15 x 1; 60 x 15 x 1
Roman Knee Ups: No Weight 3 sets of 15
I also did a 10 minute warm up on the treadmill at 3.5 mph.
Tonight's workout is scheduled to be a light Bis and Tris night/medium calves and wrists/forearms night. I will know very quickly how bad the shoulder hated that extra five pounds when I work the bis and tris tonight. Either way, I am giving it my all.
