My right shoulder really doesn't like me. Pain when pressing, and when grabbing the bar for squats.

Aikido

Weapons class: 8:05 - 9:05. Did some basic strikes with the bokken for warmup, then spent a bulk of the class doing bokken kata 1. I think I've got it down, and I've got a video of bokken kata 2, so I should be good with practicing these at home. At the end of the class, I got to go through the form 2 times with the actual katana. Good fun.

Texas Method-Recovery day

Squats: warmup: 45x5, 135x5; work: 205x2x5

Bench press: warmup: 45x5, 135x5; work: 205x3x5

Back extensions: 5x10 bodyweight

Assisted pullups: 3x10

Now I know there is something wrong with my shoulder. Bench pressing the lighter weight here was extremely painful. Saw the doctor, and she thinks its a tendonitis right now. She did some rotator cuff checks, and that seemed to be ok. So, now that I've started a different training regimen, its time to take a few weeks off to rest the shoulder. Sigh....heavy sigh....
