I feel your pain - I really do. Unfortunately it's something that's going to take a while to heal, so substitutions may indeed be necessary.

Thanks, These are some great Ideas. The main pain comes from lowering the weight. Its also odd that I feel the pain when doing squats? I am assuming that the bar is hitting a nerve that causes the pain.

I thought the 10 days off would have fixed it some, but I must be more messed up then thought. It not like I can't lift, but I am afraid of doing more damage. So your probably right. Specially with no insurance right now I don't want to do something even more stupid then I probably already do.

Marathon Training
Easy Run
3 miles in 28:19
avg Hr 144 Max Hr 166
Mile 1 - 9:40
Mile 2 - 9:23
Mile 3 - 9:05
Another perfect morning. 64 out and hardly any humidity. I was pretty sore and tired when I woke up from yesterdays workout. One the shoes were laced, I was feeling better. Its funny that now that I am in Marathon mode the running is feeling more enjoyable then the weights. Where as when I was doing the Strength workouts the running was much more of a job. I will have to get my last Hyp 3 workout of the week done tonight as I have a industry show to go to tomorrow all day. I am fine with that, I hope I can talk my crew to head to one of the good Indian places downtown!!

Probably because running doesn't flare up your shoulder. Indian food sounds good - I might make some sometime soon.

Though my shoulder is much better than it was, it's still not right. I'm making a return visit to my doctor to get a referral to an orthopedic doctor (hopefully a sports-minded one). I also know about a sports chiropractor who doesn't charge an arm and a leg or demand a zillion visits, so I may pay him a visit.

Thats good to hear. I might have to bite the bullet soon and go see a DR. I might want to look at insurance first.

Thanks lifting. I can still lift, its just annoying. I may try to back way down on the exercises that bother it more. I have already gone a bit conservative, but maybe a bit more is in order.

If you can, find someone who is certified in ART (Active Release Technique)
I had reoccurring shoulder pain that was caused from too much benching years ago. I'd rest and it would get better, then I'd start lifting and it would get worse again. Eventually it got to the point where I couldn't do 5 or 6 pushups without feeling pain.
ART guys try to find and fix the cause of your pain, which in my case was scar tissue and a muscle/strength imbalance that caused extra tension/strain on a muscle in my shoulder that hurt. It only took 4 painful visits to break up all of the scar tissue and return me to a full range of motion, and a few weeks of shoulder rehab before I was 100%.
Now it is a year later and I am doing workouts with over 100 pushups, and setting PRs in my shoulder and bench press with ZERO pain.
If you can, get insured, see an ART practitioner and fix the root/cause of your pain.
Good luck man. I know how frustrating injuries like this can be.

warm up
squats and stretching
Hyp 3 Workout 3B 4x12 with 60 sec rest
Heel Raised Squats 1 and 1/4 Style
4x12 @ 135 lbs
Bulgarian Split Deadlifts
4x12 @ 115 lbs
Split Good Mornings
4x12 @ 95 lbs
Wood Chop
3x15 @ 42.5 lbs same as last time.
This maybe the hardest workout so far in NROL. Man the 1 1/4 squats are bad enough, then add the superset in and I was seeing pretty colors by the end of set 4. NOT A FAN! Well actually I do really like the challenge and the burn.

Good idea. I put a heating pad on it last night and tried to rub some kinks out of my shoulder and neck and it seems better today. So maybe I just have some muscle that is all jacked up causing the problem

Indian was so freaking good. Indian beer though not so good. Water downed bud light. At least the kind we had Jaj Mahal. So I ate until I broke my stomach, went to the show for a few hours then we bailed and went to The Flying Saucer and had a decent local beer.
All in all a great rest day and great start to the weekend. Long run tomorrow to burn off all the curry.

Marathon Training
Long run
7.02 miles - 1:08:26 (9:45 pace)
Mile 1 = 9:52
Mile 2 = 9:50
Mile 3 = 9:46
Mile 4 = 9:35
Mile 5 = 9:29
Mile 6 = 9:34
Mile 7 = 10:03
Hr monitor still hates me. It keeps going way low towards the end of the run. I don't believe my HR drops lower at mile 5 then when I start. What I could tell though my HR peaked at 167 but never got above that. If thats true I am very happy. I held pace with less effort. The route was my old route with the last mile back up the evil hill in my sub division. It not that bad of a hill but after 6.5 miles of rolling hills, your legs hate you for going this way. Still a great long run. Now some yard work and the Symphony tonight. Yeah!!!

Is the chest strap still on correctly toward the end of your run? Maybe you should readjust it periodically to be sure it's where it needs to be.
Enjoy the symphony tonight - will look forward to your report.
