wednesday 28th June 2006

shoulders + deadlift:
  3 different rotator cuff exercises - not really try to push in great weight with these
  smith machine military press:
    60kg x 7
    70kg x 6
    90kg x 2
  deadlift:
    210kg x 3, 2

cardio: no - played basketball today

notes:
Doing shoulder exercises mainly to rehabilitate my right shoulder so I am not trying to push any really
big weights. Also avoided going to failure on any of these exercises.

Deadlift is still going strong will stick at 210kg until I can get a full set of 5.

Weight floating around 106.5kg. I'm just starting to get back into cardio with the basketball and stuff.
Hopefully by then end of next week will be hit 104-105kg.

notes:
I really got a nice first set in on squats but after that I was struggling. I'm not sure what to do next week
as I want to be getting a few more reps in on squats - may lower the weight.

Cardio was good today - I weighed 105.5kg after the session. Hopefully I can continue to lose although I
haven't been that strict this weekend.

yeah it's true - but I always get a little bit of knee pain when doing calves - so I try and stick to squats only.
