Okay, salt and supraspinatus are the themes of the day. I’m dialing in my salt requirements and think the loss of 0.6 pounds in the last two days is evidence to that effect. So … I’m now in the habit of putting a little salt in my water along with a post workout electrolyte drink; either powerade or gatorade. I’ll continue to track the body composition visually and adjust as necessary.
Supraspinatus. I’m thinking I may have over done the Waterbury suggested exercises for improving pull-ups. I woke up in the middle of Tuesday night with shoulder pain. This was sudden on-set. I’ve run through some other possibilities including a pinched nerve from sleeping on my side or stomach, but this really smacks of doing too much too quickly with too much weight. There was, however, no indicators of over use while doing the exercises. Anyway, I’m stretching and doing point work to destress the area and muscle. Things are getting better, and I did fewer military presses today than last time. I’m hoping continued stretching and point work coupled with five days off, I’m going to D.C. for a friends promotion, I’ll be painfree and back to previous strength levels next week.
