11/10/13 Upper back and neck have been injured and bothering me since my last post. I have not been working out and trying to give myself a chance to heal. I'm feeling better but not 100%. I've been dying to lift again so I worked on a few exercises yesterday: Bench Press 43.6x5 52.4x5 63.6x5 72.2x5 81x5 92.2x5 102.2x5 92.2x6 81x6 Rows 43.6x5 43.6x5 72.2x5 81x5 92.2x5 102.2x5 92.2x7 Curls: 43.6 x 15, 10 Feeling pretty good. A bit sore from not having lifted in over a month but my injury seems to be ok.
