More shoulder trouble, got to the gym and did some rotator work. Did my warm ups and then added some weight to the barbell and even though it wasn't heavy it felt like my shoulder kept popping and even though the pain wasn't bad I figured if I kept adding weight it could get ugly. So I stuck with DB presses and it didn't bother me at all. When I got to incline I went back to barbell and didn't feel anything but I didn't go under 8 reps, just nice controlled reps with some good weight for the amount of reps I was getting. I got a PR on my shoulder press which also didn't hurt but I did need a lift off to get the extra weights, I wouldn't have been able to unrack on my own. Dips actually felt really easy too, I figured at the end would really kill my whole upper body but the felt really good.

My upper body got an intense pump fairly quickly and it felt pretty good. The muscle contractions were really solid on all the movements.

So anyone reading this log could chime in. But I'm thinking about letting up on the ab work a bit which maybe is causing my stomach to expand? The only day I really a lot of ab work is Wednesday but I've been hitting my abs 4 days a week. I'm wondering if that is contributing to the problem.

Other than that I feel good this week so far. My morning dose of Laxacrine seems to put me in a good mood and again at night with my second dose. It's almost like a carefree/non stressed feeling which I like. Kind of wakes me up in the morning in some sort of way as well.
