SELF IMPOSED TRAINING PURGATORY

The only thing more difficult than killing yourself in the gym is trying not to. I have spent the last couple of decades training in overdrive. Now I find myself having to hold back, it's really hard, but necessary. I have stayed within my self imposed three weeks of training purgatory for the first two weeks, mostly. For my pull ups, I have been performing them all with a neutral grip with no issues. So of course I had to change up grips Saturday. I did underhand, overhand, and wide grip. Guess what, my shoulder bothered me more than usual the next day. WTF is wrong with me? Why do I feel the overwhelming need to change things up? Meanwhile all I can think about is adding in dips, moving to straight bar deadlifting, and squatting with the Duffallo bar. Man am I stupid. My body is getting better, but is nowhere near 100%. The crazy thing is, with all the abuse I have put myself through over the years I still really feel like I can get my body to 100% if I focus on it. This means I am not ordering my Duffallo bar yet. I need to get through one more week of no squats and deadlifts. Then I can add the trap bar deadlift and safety squat bar squat back in. I am also going to lower those training numbers from what they were. I will put three weeks in with that and then reassess. The good new is, for what it is, training is going well. The physio ball rev hyper worked much better this week than the banded gm's last week. My hip and back felt great. Also, bench felt and moved better this week. I heated up the shoulder, but I don't think that had much to do with it. I did more warm up than usual. I'm actually going to go through my shoulder warm up every day this week whether I'm training or not. I'll be curious to see how it feels benching Friday. I just have to stay the course. Why is that so damn hard?
