Session went well today overall. No real discomfort in my shoulder to speak of. I decided to change the order of the exercises to pre-fatigue for the Meadows Rows since they were hurting my shoulders when I was horsing the weight around to compensate for the strength curve. The green band is much better for facepulls than the red, I was actually challenged on the concentric the last few reps there. Since it's an isolation, I don't mind doing high reps. Meadows Rows went well. I was very very happy with the pullovers because 2 months ago those would have destroyed my left shoulder. Glad I can work up in weight on those. 45 lbs is my new weight for those.

Not a bad session. Still figuring things out, obviously. Finding situations in which my cardio is limiting me and dropping reps while upping weight. At the same time, I think, my lower bodyweight is helping my cardio capacity, but not much. The only real frustrating point here is the quad training. Regular squats, even with a high bar, is too much for my shoulders to handle. I saw a video on setting up a sissy squat with a tie down strap on the squat stand so I may try that soon if I'm not happy with my depth with the chain tighter on belt squats next time. Reminding myself it's all a process.
