Notes: Everything was going fine until I tried squatting on Saturday.  Hurt my shoulder again doing that, so it's not just benching.  I'm doing something wrong with my squat grip as well as my bench movement pattern.  I might keep the heavy deads/presses several days a week, and dedicate a couple of days to very, very light rehab work on squats and bench to learn how to do them without hurting myself.  I'm also still suffering from the grass pollen, and I'm on daily or almost daily pseudoephedrine doses.

I basically did PTTP/"The Bear" this week, but I lost my little note card full of details. Benching appears to be the cause of my shoulder/rotator cuff troubles, so it's off the menu for the foreseeable future.  I did CBL all last week, and I'm still not sure I'm sold on it.  Going full keto for a couple of weeks, then going to do once/week carb re-feeds again after that.  I can't risk the volume required for bulking with my shoulder iffy, so it's time to cut.

Weight (Monday): 184 lb

I was wrong, and was not in fact in the gym on Monday.  I'm not normally allergic to anything, but damned if the grass/tree pollen hasn't pretty much knocked me out for the last week and a half.

I lifted once last week, going to try to again today.
