SHOULDER WARNING
Check the date today and do NO MORE WEIGHTS for shoulders or chest for 3 WEEKS.
When your tissue is injured it heals with scar tissue, not fresh new cells, just protein branches called collagen. For about the first three weeks scar tissue is forming therefore, lifting weight too early is counter productive; however, it is quite essential to work on passive then active ROM. You should be aware that once the scar tissue has stabilized you must begin exercising the area with weights as soon as possible.

I might have injured myself a little more today (see workout blog below) because I used weights far too early on. Even though I did this last ME bench workout (check date) I may have set myself back a little today. So all I'm going to do for shoulders and chest is range of motion work with NO WEIGHTS until the 3 weeks are up.
Until then its just lower body, back, biceps, abs and triceps etc.
