50 minutes of squash (not as intense as usual....because I ate an hour before 
note to self: do NOT EAT before exercising!) , lots of stretching, and a 2 hour deep tissue/swedish massage

Thanks sickpuppy, they didn't give me that brace, after 6 days I am not even wearing the brace that the doc gave me (sort of a sling deal). Shoulder is fine, sucks to sneeze. I did 30 min on the sit down bike today. My break was real clean, so the X brace wasn't needed. Still sucks sleeping at night.
I am going to hit the pool next week, but going to keep it real easy.

well today was a back and shoulders day although I went a little light on the straight leg deadlifts this time around. Basically I have my routine down:
Day1: Chest and Arms
Day2: Lower body
Day3: Back and shoulders
Day4: Abs (the light day)
repeat, sometimes I will give myself a day off in there but I prefer to get something in everyday.

Started the gym with my man on Monday with biceps/back/shoulders, Tuesday triceps/chest, Wednesday morning...my upper body is a good sore. Tonight it is legs and abs. We are at 15 minutes on the elliptical machine for cardio. Taking it easy and building as we go.
I love it that he knows what he is doing. I just do what I am told with a smile and sweat.

Well today was another back and shoulders day, I'm definintely noticing improvements in mass but more visible are the improvement in muscle tone/definition.
Here's a question: What's the best way to improve flexibility? My lower body isn't as flexible as I'd like it to be? Would you guys recommend daily stretching? Yoga? Tai-chi? or a combination?

2 rounds of 30 pushups, 8 chinups, and a 30 second handstand. Immediately followed by a 2 mile sprint up and down hills on a bicycle. Decent workout considering I didn't have to go to the gym or even lift any weights.
I'm trying to protect my poor joints, started lifting heavy at 12 years old, now I'm 16 and I've got a 30 year olds shoulder sockets.

Back and shoulders day, but I added a few(*):
Lateral arm raise 4x8
Shoulder press 3x8
Modified military press 4x8
Front arm raise 4x8
Lat pulldown 3x8
Chin up (Cable, underhand grip) 3x8
Seated cable pullover 3x8
Lateral cable pullover (opposite of lateral arm raise) 3x8
Cable shoulder shrugs 3x8 (kills my grip for dead lift)
Straight Leg Deadlift 3x8 (need to get some straps, my grip is starting to fail)
*seated row (but with upper arms parallel to body instead of perpendicular) 4x10
*inward forearm rotation (arm at 90 degrees, elbows at sides) 4x8 I find this hits the lower inner pecs
*outward forearm rotation 4x8
All in about an hour. I started doing some serious stretching before each workout and it significantly cuts down on soreness the next day (especially in the legs).
