As was feared at the start of the challenge, I am having problems with my right shoulder joint. The pain crept up today during my workout when I was completing my bench presses. I am going to have to take a couple of weeks off the shoulder workouts and let it recover. No, this does not mean I am stopping, far from it, it just means I will not train my shoulders (which sucks as they play a huge role in the overall shape of the body). I will try and implement some light rotator cuff exercises during the week in order to bring them back to health as soon as possible.

Bad news out of the way, here are the stats:

• HEIGHT - 5 feet 11 inches / 181 cm
• WEIGHT - 62.6 kg (+2.4)/ 138 lbs (+6)
• BODY FAT % - 8.7 (+0.7)
• BODY WATER % - 63.7 (-0.1)
• MUSCLE MASS - 54.3 kg (+1.8)/ 119.8 lbs (+4.0) (Physical Rating - 7 - Thin)
• BONE MASS - 2.9 kg (+0.1)/ 6.4 lbs (+0.2) (WTF?)
• MINIMUM ENERGY REQUIRED (BMR) - 1704 kcal (+54)/ 7128 kJ (+224)
• METABOLIC AGE - 12
• VISCERAL FAT RATING - 1 (out of a possible 59 - I have the lowest possible rating)

So there’s the stats, the weight is steadily increasing. Hopefully this shoulder injury will recover quickly and won’t slow down the progress too much (even though almost every workout involves the shoulders in some way). I’m going to give it ice/heat treatment for this week and see if that helps.
