Luquillo workout journal

[luquillo78]

Really the spotter didn't do anything, but I wasn't afraid about dropping the bar on my chest in case that I couldn't push it.

 

[evansss]

[Winter]

Great workout luq! Nice PR.

Ice/heat the shoulder and massage it. Heal up

 

[AngryMuscles]

does squatting with belt matter????

 

[luquillo78]

Thanks winter!

Angry: I try to do as much as I can without a belt so that my abs get more work. In fact, I never use a belt when I deadlift.

 

[AngryMuscles]

i use belt when i'm chickening out on a lift...deads or squats......must have an iron mind...

Today it was chest day. Went to the gym and did warm up sets in order to see how my shoulder felt.

It was still hurting so decided to go home. I don't want it to turn into a tendinitis.

 

[adidamps2]

looks good Luq...
take care of that shoulder...

 

[Winter]

How've you been healing the shoulder? Are you icing/heating it & getting some massages? If it gets worse, you might be best going to a doctor.

 

[luquillo78]

Yes winter, I've been icing/heating and taking a diclofenac gel. It's better. It was a good decision not to workout yesterday. I think that next monday I'll be ready for bench again.

Today I had a very good workout. I was a little insecure because I had no spotter on squats. Whole workout was less than 60 min. I could barely walk out the gym!

Nice numbers luq. i dont usually have a spot when i squat. if im feeling shitty ill set the pins a little higher in the rack just in case. Ive gone to failure with no spot (during testing for hockey) and had the weight come down on the pins...not a big deal though it does make a lotta noise n stuff.

 

[AngryMuscles]

get someone who knows how to spot...then you'll feel safer.

Yes, I did what you say, I set the pins just in case.
