So, spent several hours this morning waking up, then falling back to sleep, waking up, then falling back to sleep. Not a case of insomnia or something, but the shoulder workout my trainer gave me had far greater consequences that I should have thought about. See, I’m a side-sleeper, sleeping on my back is only something I can do if I’m half asleep already and have mind to roll onto it. I wake up this morning and find I can’t lift my arms more than 5 inches from my sides, with two huge muscular bundles in the part of my pec muscles that attach on my arms. My partner was gracious enough to work them down to smaller bundles, but the adhesion there is still enough that it’s causing a huge weakness in those muscles. I should have thought about noting the work I’ve been trying to do to free up my shoulders, and the fact the exercises we were going through were detrimental to my progress. Which, I will now have mind to do, next time the trainer decides to work a part of me that I’m having ripped open. Yes, the muscles need to be rebuilt after being broken down, but they’re not done being broken down yet, and in working to rebuild them it is not necessary to overwork them. Which, is what has happened. I’m trying to get rid of the forward twist in my shoulders, that makes me look like i’m slouching when I’m not. I’ve just severely impeded that progress, in the fact that I’m now in constant pain when I rotate my shoulders back to where they’re supposed to be. I’m now in a constant slouch because we failed to workout the posterior section of my shoulders. Now, maybe I’m just a body nut, but shouldn’t a trainer be well aware of the necessity to work out both the protagonist muscle groups, and the antagonist groups? We didn’t even come close to that. Granted, those movements are probably relegated to the back movements, but still, they should have been present in the same workout. So, when I can move again, enough to get back into the gym, I’m going to re-plan my workout around those muscle groups, instead of going whilly-nilly around my body.

Note: I have way too many run-on sentences.
