How-To-Do-Triceps-Pushdown[1]As expected I am paying for my running yesterday with extra pain and soreness today, mostly in the right knee with a little side order in the hip.  On the positive side, even though it is painful, it isn’t to the same severe degree as last time I ran which had me hobbling like an 80 year old for a couple days.

Today at the gym I saw Old Fabio, a guy I knew from my days at Retro/Royal Fitness.  To me he looks like Fabio 20 years from now if he drank a 6 pack of Miller Lite each night.  He has the hair and the face for sure.  I am not quite sure how much he will enjoy the Planet Fitness experience.

I had to quickly change my intended plan of standing hammer curls when rep three or four sent a nice jolt of pain through my left shoulder.  I worked around it the rest of the workout, sticking with exercises that did not hit the shoulder from that angle.  Oddly shrugs and overhead shoulder pressing does not aggravate it at all.
