I spent today trying to fix my left shoulder. I am not sure what muscle is being used instead of the bicep. I managed to get a pump on it but it was difficult because even reaching over to pick up the weight cause the wrong muscle to engage and made switching back to the correct one VERY hard. I do not have a very strong mind muscle connection with my left shoulder/bicep. But i made headway today in that front. I was able to exercise the left bicep at all which I was not able to do before. I had to do a lot of stretching and readjusting to not use whatever is on the front of my shoulder which hurt when used. If I picture using the back muscle on the top middle of the shoulder I was able to use the correct muscle. Core exercise went well today. I will admit I still haven’t used the cable exercise because I’ve never done it before and it’s seemingly always occupied. I also still haven’t done any crunches because apparently I hate doing new things at the gym. Got to fix that next time. I’m thinking about adding that exercise were you hold a weight in each hand and lean to the left and right. I vaguely remember that being a thing but it sounds perfect for the reason I wanted to go to the gym in the first place. I carry a heavy tool bag at work and I’d like enough core strength to easily toss around that kind of weight.
Also I tried an energy drink for a pre workout. I’ve never used pre workout before. It worked pretty good. I’m not an energy drink’er but I might buy another one and keep it in the refrigerator for times when I feel wiped out after work. It’s terrible for you but it's effective. I don’t drink coffee or much caffeine in general so I perked up real quick after I drank it and felt different the whole workout.
