On shoulder day I went lighter for weeks and treated it like a rehab session. Close grip bench didn't bother it though. Curls did, so again I went lighter abd increased reps and shortened rest period. Advice all that, when I started to really hurt I called it a day and went home. Oh and I also used mobility wraps and stretches a few times.

Thank you caper, I have been working around it the past week and it's helping, I've done DB bench instead of barbell which helps as well as some shoulder mobility work, face pulls, stretching and just lowering the weight focusing more on range of motion and reps instead of such heavy weight.
Quads and Chest yesterday went well, set a PR on squats. got 275 x 6 getting at least parallel @ 170 lbs. Nothing impressive, but with my back injury I never really squatted until the past year, and really never learned to properly squat until the last few months and have seen tremendous progress. Hoping to get 315 x 6 by December at least.
