Shoulder stuff from some therapy guy for Pinched Nerve/Frozen shoulder. Partial ROM moves to keep tension on the rear delts and teres and off the neck and traps. Partial ROM shit is perfect for home workout with bands because you don’t have to worry about moving into the part of the move with no band tension.
3 or 4 sets for 12-20 reps. Or fewer reps with 3-3 tempo. Blah blah blah.
I was pretty strict with carbs during April, I just had rice or oatmeal mostly. Gluten free without thinking about it.
Then this past week I got a little lazy and had some cereal, a couple biscuits and noodles one time. Over the past two days dry skin has started peeling off my face and an irritated red patch has formed on my chest.
I’ve had outbreaks like this the past and thought maybe it was something stress related. But maybe I’m just one of those annoying gluten sensitive people.
Chopped some wood. My favorite work as exercise move. Logs I was working on were thick and I broke an axe handle chopping a little too sideways trying to widen the notch. Then the head on my backup axe started coming loose.
Hopefully I’m old and grizzled enough to replace the handles properly. Last time I tried I couldn’t get the head on tight.

I got a pair of 12 foot chains and some D handles for upper body stuff sled stuff. They are like twice as long as the tow strap I used before so everything felt smooth and nice.

Trying out some new stuff. Tire hops came from muay thai, they were cool and a nice workout for feet/ankles/knees. Just what I was looking for.
Battling chains were like battling ropes, only shorter. Felt nice on shoulders. I need to figure up some kind of handle, holding just the chain wasn’t ideal.

I got the axe handles replaced and turned the old handles in grips for the battling chains. They’re OK.
I also planted some pumpkin seeds, only some critter came and dug up my pumpkin patch in the night. I put some fertilizer stuff in a hole under each seed. I guess whatever did it got excited by the smell of crab-shell.
