Incline Bench!

Saturday I did some incline bench for the first time in a long while.  In fact, according to this blog the last time I benched at an incline was 11/14/11.  That's almost 6 months ago!  Either way, I was not impressed.  I barely got up 165.

Maybe I can blame some of that on my shoulder.  It's still injured, and it still hurts a lot when I try and throw (which I've been doing every Sunday).  After getting an MRI done, the doctor I'd been seeing had good news and bad news. The good: he doesn't see anything wrong with my rotator cuff, or really even my shoulder in general.  The bad news: I'm still in pain, and he can't figure out why.

The result is that I need to see a shoulder specialist (who he recommended).  I just don't want another copay.  At 40 bucks a pop, out of nowhere I've spent 160 bucks on doctors visits in the past month or so.  Something needs to be done, so I'll be making an appointment sooner rather than later.

Here are my sets from the gym.
