I'm kinda hurting in my left shoulder. I pushed through the pain and strangely enough it made it feel better afterwards even though it hurt like hell while doing things. My range of motion was kind of limited so towards the end I think I kinda petered out a little. However, I think today was a great workout day and I think I did well.

My left shoulder has been hurting the past few days and it sorta stopped my workout here and I had to spend the rest of it stretching my shoulders as well as doing some rotater cuff stretches to stretch some of the minor muscles in that area. I wasn't able to do Bench Press today which is my favorite. Just have to work around it. It doesn't stop me, just hinders motion in a certain direction so I still worked it half-way decent I suppose. Just have to keep trying!

Almost. I'm at basically 169. I was not able to really update my journal because school started and thas been intense. I've still been working out and keeping track but there's just not enough time in the day to do everything and the one day I was gonna update everything it had already been a week so I've already lost my opportunity for jan goods but your input was helpful and I've gained some more mass.

Thoughts - Today was really kind of a blah day. I did a few things and I feel like the energy was sucked right out of me. My shoulder has also been a constant source of annoyance as it never seems to completely heal and just when I think it's totally fine, it hurts a little again.

One more rest day. I'm definitely going to go tomorrow. I'm sick of not doing anything. This is getting really frustrating. My shoulder is not as sore as it has been but I feel like not doing anything is bad too. I'm going tomorrow if it means just doing more reps with less weight. I can't fall behind again. My ribs put me out of commission with a lot of things and maybe i'm being stubborn but I need to do this.

Today was a catch-up day of sorts I suppose. Wanted to do a little of everything. I think today was more about self esteem than anything and I'm not sure if that was accomplished but I did attain a new max on the chest press. My shoulder is still irritated of course

Thoughts - Today was another self-esteem day and I feel a lot better. It's easy to get super bummed when you're hurt and can't lift something you KNOW you can otherwise lift. I have to start over on the bench press a little and move back down to 135 for a little while when I feel comfortable doing it because of my shoulder and that bums me out. Bench is my favorite and we were gonna move up from 165 to 185. It's definitely a test of will and patience and a thousand other things.

 

 

Since today is the last day I want to give a shout out to Robert for rallying everyone together as usual to do something large and awesome. He came through for all of us and got us all some really cool stuff just for participating.

 

Thanks to all of the sponsors who looked beyond profit for a moment to support the vegan athlete community unconditionally. The vegan community in general is one of the best things to be a part of for the sole fact that everyone seems to have a general interest in looking out for fellow vegans and showing genuine heart. Good job everyone.

 

I'd also like to give a shout out to my Vegan Fitness coach who gave me some rock solid advice from the get-go and got me to just shy of my goal (169 lbs when my goal is 170 is a success to me). He was a really good source of information and very helpful in tweaking my exercise routine to something that really catered to my strengths. Thanks a lot Ryan! You're the man.
