"Weakness is opportunity"
Thurs 5/22: sat around.. tried to do pushups/pullups but turns out that hurts my left tricep/bicep. (Thats feeling better on saturday. And i spent 10$ on 20 feet of rope which I intended to climb but my hand slips.. didn't really have anywhere to hang it up anyways... BUT 10$

Fri: 5/23
Washed dishes?? Staying off the arm.. my back is sore.. trying to heal from all this running injuries.. bummer.. gay.. Have to keep up with diet/flexibily and sleep. (o ya, i went to bed at 2.30 am)

Sat 5/24
... No one ever explained to me mixing/pouring concrete was so difficult... almost 5 hours long.. Carrying 5 gallon buckets of sand/gravel and lifting them UP into mixer... amazing workout.. but with I hadn't for my left bicep/triceps' sake.

Just curious... but I'm feeling EXTREMELY lopsided... my whole left side is a little off (My left leg is little bit longer) examples include
-I can do pistols right legged but not left
-My right upper arm looks alot bigger than it was but my left doesn't really... (quite noticeable) and I'm not a thrower
-My left hip hurts pretty bad from running injury. Left knee and shin both minor pain..
Damnit... I shouldn't have ran that many laps counterclockwise around the track without running one clockwise.. Why does no one tell me this?
MAIN question i need answered is should i try right/left arm equally (mostly do with bodyweight exercises) or should I give my left arm more attention?

Goals...
HEAL.. all the way
Eat good food.. all the time
Then work on handstands/pushups/pullups... all around upper body.. even thought I can see the improvement both visually and in reps / max weight.


good job, but remember nutrition is #1 Rest #2 and your workouts come 3rd
keep it up man!
Thanks! Nice to have feedback.. And defineately agree.. Nutrition is going well.. rest was.. now isn't.. but will be ? and workouts are on back burner because of arm

as tempting as it may be just rest and keep off of everything for two weeks, if you need more time only you will know, but just do this and your body will be able to heal sufficiently. Work on your flexibility in the meantime. Then work on conditioning your body with bodyweight exercises


EAT PLENTY! SLEEP WELL!
