YARSL - Yet another riveting stronglifts log!

Back on it from Monday, still have some pain but have been doing mobility work for last 2 weeks, taking Naproxen and doing some light barbell work.

I swear I can see the loss of gains in the mirror from not working out for 2 weeks ;)
 
Workout - 26/01/2015 - 4310KG lifted

Well that was anything but pleasant, 17 days since last workout due to dodgy shoulder, feel like roadkill.

SL 5x5 app suggested a 20% deload as it's over 2 weeks since last week, took the advice and even struggled on the lower weights across all exercises.

However, I did hit all targets, so that's a minor positive.

Added in CGBP as since I quit the gym I haven't done dips and my triceps are a bit neglected.

Oh wow...i'm aching today the same as pretty much my first time after a real weight session a few years ago. What a difference two weeks makes.
 
Workout - 28/01/2015 - 5795KG lifted

Still aching quite a bit from Monday's workout but cracked on with no failures. Still on a 10-20% deload across the exercises as a result of the 2 week break.

Added in barbell shrugs just for fun as I had a lot of strength left at the end, should also passively help my deadlift ;)

I'm putting SL5x5 on hold for a while as shoulder problem is back and persistent, making most workouts extremely painful. Doing lots of mobility work to try and help this.

For the moment i'm on a kind of hiatus :(

Shoulder hurts when squatting/deadlifting? :(

Try these...

Squats are ok as my arms are just balancing the bar, not much else.

Everything else is causing some degree of pain, doctors are useless, 3 visits now and i'm told to rest and take painkillers.

Might have to shell out some cash for an "expert" :)
 
Do you frequent sports clubs (i.e. football/rugdy) at all?

They're a reasonable place to start... otherwise, yes - google it... :(
