Start of New Cycle

After 3 1/2 years in combat out of 10 years in the Army and 3 combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan I had two divorces. My addiction came way before deployments. 49 IED explosions on my truck, shot twice, and stabbed once. With 2 PH. My deployments and wives made my addictions worse. Now I'm on course

Good job brother. Stay the course.

Been with my wife for 6 years. She wanted to leave many times. My doctors at the VA and I had to explain to her what it's like to live with a Vet.

She can deal with it now lol.

It's hard man. Soldier on. I'm here for you brother. Stay strong. I know you are.

You're a soldier.

No Sh it! take care of that shoulder. hope it's going to be ok.

Rotator cuff refab helps. I don't think I got much from the stretches. Actually started feeling a little better after I quit stretching it for some reason.

Got to get those Shoulders warmed up good before any lifting.
 
No lifting again tonight. Just got home due to traffic. Gonna do some exercises for my shoulder and ice it down for a bit
 
So gonna give it one more day of rest, and exercise and ice. Starting to feel a bit better, though still have a bit of numbness. But, feeling better. Gonna get back at it again tomorrow with legs, and then I will test it out with chest on Saturday

That's a tough one. Shoulder issues pretty much kills bench press. Maybe try some incline DB Hex press, Landmine presses, one armed incline cable press. Lightweight high rep, just to see how the shoulder holds up.

Hex press incline, DB pull overs. lower pec standing cable flys. If you have access to a hammer strength decline, 2 handed landmines.

Funny thing is, when I was bulking I would eat like 3 plates, and then another 3 plates of just crawfish. This time I ate 1 plate, and then a plate of crawfish, and I was done. Wife said, "Why don't you eat tonight". My response was "Radiate".
