Venom's Journal V2.0 - Torn Muscle and beyond

[Venum]

I got pretty slack with my last journal but this time I'm going to stick with it.

Last week I tore a muscle in my shoulder or so the doctors say.

I'm going to be updating this on workout days as well as putting up pics and stats on the first Monday of each month.

This is my diet (for now) for days that I work (as I have a pretty physical job). I plan on following it for a month and then Ill change it if necessary.

As I mentioned before, I tore a muscle in my shoulder last week. Had a bit of trouble with squats, I could get my hand around the bar to hold it properly so I didn't do anything heavy. I usually do 5 sets of 5. Same problem with the SLDL

Everything else went good.

what did you tear? something in your rotator cuff? what are you doing about it? Surgery?

[Venum]

Doctors say it's a rotator cuff injury but are unsure whether or not its a muscle or a tendon tear and how serious it is.

At the moment I'm doing physio and doing what I can in the gym if the pain/weakness/ROM doesn't improve then they'll do scans and decide if I need surgery.
