Started off the deload week with some good rehab work.

Earlier today I went to the doc for a 2 week adjustment, and to have things checked out. My shoulder had 4 points of injury when I started treatment - 3 are either gone or almost gone/healed now, the point in my posterior delt is still bothering me a bit. This injury also seems to tie in with my right tricep, which started getting really achy/sore once I started resting my upper body. It got progressively worse for a while (while doing nothing) and it seems to be getting a little better now, but it is still very annoying. The doc and I think that all the while my shoulder was injured and I was still pushing hard, my tricep was taking the load off my injured delt. When I started resting finally, my tricep (which had apparently become damaged in the process) started healing up, albeit painfully. Today the doc did some real aggressive deep tissue work on it (the main source of pain is in the connective tissues that join the tricep to the elbow) and man is it sore now. Swollen a bit, and I have been icing it. This is too be expected, and hopefully this will speed up the healing. I will have some ultrasound done on it next week. I plan on laying off any pressing movements (again) for a while, or just limiting my benching and overhead pressing to my normal wide grips, but going super light (ie: rehab).
