Where Are The ERGS

What, where are they hiding the Concept2 ergometers? I was ready to erg this morning before I swam, but NOOO, who hid, stole, or otherwise took the rowing machines from their spot? No erg, no good.

Injury Caused By 5 LB Dumbbells

I am pretty sure that I isolated the shoulder incident of the past week, causing a dramatic cutback in the exercise load for the last three days. Included are 2 straight off days, complete rest.
November 6, today was back to normal.
Swim 2000 meters long course
Swim 500 yards easy play
I found 3 lb dumbbells after I used the 5 pounders. I did short sets with the 5 pound weights, then I felt much better using the 3's. The cable machine is too heavy to do rotator exercises. This is how I found out that the injury/strain was caused by too much weight for rotator movements.

November 5
Swim 2000 yards, only

Movember 4, off

November 3, off

November 2,
row 20 minutes
swim 1000 meters, pain in left deltoid, mid head

November 1, Tuesday, unknown
