I hear you hoopie. You're right too. To be honest, I enter those comments right after the set - my computer is right next to my gym so I track my workouts live. So that comment was how I felt right after I failed on 4 with a weight I know I should be handling for 6 or more (my reps pb with 225 is 12). It's my bloody injuries that are driving me insane. 1 step forward, 2 steps back. It's frustrating. I've been there before, so I know what you mean! It is frustrating to always be working around an injury! Keep going you're doing great!

I understand you Rich, an injury is holding me back right now, but stay positive, I believe it can help us being even more motivated later and between you and me, since we often take it for granted, it allows us to appreciate when we are healty!

Thanks Tim. I wanted to deadlift but it would have been a mistake.
As Gloria GAINER said
"It took all the strength I had not to deadlift then, see with my lower back in pain it would have been a sin Cuz I spent o-so-many nights wishing I could fall asleep but the pain, just made me lie there and weep And so now I, I will revive I'll reach deep down inside and I will surely thrive I am in this game for life and this stupid injury won't keep me down, I will not let it defeat me!"
And now my official apologies to the forum for the above. I am deeply sorry to have inflicted my painful songwriting skills on you ....

It's been almost 2 weeks since I worked out. Seems every time I train, I hurt something. My shoulder is just now starting to feel better, and my back has almost stopped bothering me. I think I'll be ready to train by Sunday.
It's very depressing, but I need to be able to train for a lot more years, so I decided to lay low for a spell.
Again.
I hope this ends soon.

You're right Tim. That is what I need to do.
So today I decided to train delts again. It's been a looooong time since I trained delts directly. Not since the injury about 8 months ago.
2007/03/17 Delts
Exercise : Leverage Seated Press (Total lifted: 3,850 lbs) · (w/u) 10 lbs X 20 · (w/u) 50 lbs X 15 · (w/u) 50 lbs X 12 · (w/u) 70 lbs X 11 · 90 lbs X 7 · 90 lbs X 6 · 90 lbs X 4 Exercise : Standing Dumbell Laterals (Total lifted: 1,400 lbs) · 25 lbs X 20 ... 10 each · 30 lbs X 16 ... 8 each · 30 lbs X 14 ... 7 each Exercise : Bent Dumbell Laterals (Total lifted: 1,870 lbs) · 30 lbs X 24 ... 12 each · 45 lbs X 10 ... 5 each · 35 lbs X 20 ... 10 each
Don't know when the last time was that I did delts. 8 months? Time to start again! Went VERY easy.
