10/18/21 Minimum-Minimum Effective Dose

The Workout:

BB Rows

Worked up to 185 x 5.

Bench Press

Worked up to 185 x 1.

Side raises.

2 light sets.

Tendonitis through arm/shoulder/scapula/pec was feeling pretty good after this, so I just quit here.  Got a little stimulus and movement without making the situation worse and got the hell out.

Thoughts:

I did this work today to just keep some strength and mobility in my upper body.  I keep battling the tendonitis and inflammation issues even though they are getting better.  Since a big part of healing up from this is rest, I did singles and worked up on the bench.  This was to keep the workload super low but still get some stimulus.

I went with a set of five for the rows since they seem to impact the inflammation less. 

I am staying patient with the healing process here.  I want to bench big in 5 years more than I want to bench big in 5 weeks.
