THT (G5 : W1 - Shoulders)

Well, I screwed up. I was doing deadlifts Friday and pulled a muscle in my lower back toward the end of the last set. Despite good form, my muscles were too fatigued and I pushed too far. Lesson learned; own it and move on. The special back workout will have to wait.

Now that I'm forced to "take it easy", I'm going to have to hold off on squats and deadlifts for a while. The rest of my workout will be largely unmodified, but I may need to change some things up to accommodate the healing process. 

That said, had a fairly normal shoulder day with minimal discomfort. I lowered the db weight a bit and decided to skip the standing lateral raises due to the added low back pressure. I instead added some rear delt work at the end. Good stuff, and here's to a speedy recovery.
