Blew my AC joint on the bench two weeks ago. Hoping to get back on the horse after Easter Weekend.

how'd you manage that? too much internal rotation? gotta keep them shoulders back, lead with your CHAST.

Positioned the bar to come down just below the sternum the first chest day after transitioning from Hypertrophy month to Strength training month. Protracted shoulders correctly etc, 220lb loaded up, was a stupid attempt to target the lower chest, should've just done that with the Decline bench after.

Felt the strain on the first rep. Put the bar back up. Stretched for a minute thinking maybe it was just a strange twisting/kink of the muscle group. Stubbornly went back at it, pressed it 3 times, profaned and left the gym pissed off.

Next day it hurt to turn my steering wheel. Bad juju

Decided to give it a go today. Had to keep the right shoulder really tight, half-weight. Mild discomfort on the 4th set @16 reps. At least got a good burn in on the last two sets. Tricep pushdowns, and hammer curls. Kept it short n sweet.

I've decided everyday is gonna be shoulder day. Shoulders back posture does magic things to my frame and I need to remember to do it.
