Yesterday's little CBL day for today's leg training. With my shoulder I'm not too upset about not being able to train much, since I have so much final project and research work that needs to be in this week.
Mr-White, on the note of the Alpha Men tablets. Can't say they've affected my sleep really, the OAKG is obviously helping there as well.
I find that stress and a high work load for academia is far worse for me sleep. Not nice spending 4-5 hours a night tossing and turning because your brain won't stop over-thinking things.

I slept so well last night. Like I haven't slept in ages. College research project is behind me, well except for an industry day presentation, followed by a panel presentation, but a weekend I can relax.
Yesterday's low carb day.
I still seem to be leaning out a bit, although at a much much slower pace since I can only do theraband shoulder work and train legs.
I also snapped the blue theraband in half yesterday while doing my squatted shoulder abductions. They'll probably move me up to the black band Monday.
This Wednesday is the last day the Sports Rehab clinic at college is open as well, so if things keep going well I should not need them again. Might have to ask for an extra theraband or two in case they snap again.
I really can't wait to train my upper body again, although I'll most certainly add in these exercises in on my shoulder days. I might even forgo dumbbells for resistance band training in it's place, for my rotator cuff. Followed by dumbbells for presses and raises, along with rear delt cable crossovers.

Yesterday's CBL day
Had my physio session this morning, and they're introducing some more weights. External and internal rotations on the cable machine, heavier pendulums, and they want me to work up to at least 20kg farmers walks with my rear delts engaged, ad shoulders up and back.
Also now using double blue therabands, instead of one. Shoulder has also been taped again.

No OAKG for tonight. 
Also exams, and I need to squeeze in some quick theraband physio work now before bed.
Good thing is tomorrow is a CBL night for Friday's leg work. I'm SOOOOO looking forward to it.
I have chocolate marshmallow eggs that are 10g carbs each. I have 22 of them, there's 220g sorted all ready if I can manage them all.
Add in my cream filled jam doughnuts with powder sugar? OM NOM NOM
I also have 100g of nougat with almonds left over. So it's nougat or doughnuts with the eggs tomorrow.
Obviously can't do the weights work right now, but the rest is better then nothing and I can do theraband shrugs and rotations at least.

Yesterday's meals and training. I've still a bit of lower back pain from all the hours of standing and that panel presentation while standing yesterday was fun for it either.
Also had a "friend" say hi to me by hitting me several times right in my damaged left shoulder. What a ******, I was pain free nearly a full week. Now it's all meh again. Was supposed to start back on upperbody for light weights this week. So I'll have to see how I feel by tonight.

Finally managed to do some very very light weight training yesterday, although it would be going better if that **** of a "friend" didn't decide to hit me right on the spot I'm injured.
I've been told at least to start back training as long as it doesn't put to much strain on my long bicep tendon.
So hopefully some lovely dumbbell rows, farmers walks, and shrugs should be fine. Also Wide grip pullups seem fine. A month without them as made me feel like I'm starting from scratch on them though.

Yesterday's little backload and back training. Sadly I crashed around halfway and wasn't able to do any shrugs. Not being able breathe from this hayfever hasn't helped 
Going to have a mixed training day since I can't properly do shoulders yet.
I'll try and add in my 3rd theraband on some exercises as well.
Feels odd having mostly just DOMS in my left arm this week. Expected considering how weak it's gotten.
