Passed 300 posts!

I just noticed that I had 303 posts.  Wow.  I think that is great because it is a measure of how well I've been sticking with my physical fitness plans.

Today was an upper-body lifting day.  I think I should not yet go to the 35# DBs for the press.  I pulled something a bit in my left shoulder setting them down.  I couldn't complete the reps correctly and I think I let my arm holding the DB slip to the side to set it down.  My shoulder is not made to resist 35# in that direction.  Just look at the shoulder exercises that often are demanding at 5-8#.  That is one of those types of movements.  I still completed the rest of the workout, but paid close attention to how my shoulder was doing.  I think I didn't over do it.  The feeling is almost gone a few hours later.

The rest of the workout went according to plan.  I wasn't able to increase weights much at all.  I think I need to keep the push-ups where they are for a bit until I can do them without lots of pauses.  I am glad that the push-ups had full depth, though.  My arms probably weren't in enough, but I'm more worried about depth right now.
