Daily Workout - Arms with Total Gym

I'm back at home and back in my own gym with all my usually gear. Todays workout is the last of my upper body using the Total Gym. My hand is almost back to 100% so it really make the workouts a lot smoother. I just wish I could get rid of my ongoing shoulder pain in my right shoulder. I've had that for almost a year now so I don't think it's going away any time soon. I'm pretty sure it's some torn cartilage as I did it doing some MMA wrestling. Well enough whining for now...

Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym with Total Gym

Today I woke up with a strange cramp in my hand, it pretty much bothered me all day and still is!

I decided to do a workout anyways and it was not a fun one but it got done and my hand feels neither better nor worse...

Daily Workout - Upper Body with Total Gym

I am definitely pushing through a plateau! It has been really hard lately doing my workouts and being motivated, I have felt tired and week but I have done my best to get into the gym as much as I can. I have been extra busy with work and even though my work is not physical it is fairly mental. A big part of working out is the mental part, so it makes sense that I have been struggling.

I'm still managing to do some maintenance workouts while I get through this phase. Yesterday I got a Chest and Back workout in on my Total Gym and today I got a Shoulders and Arms workout in again with the Total Gym. Both days I did some Abs but I didn't do any dedicated Cardio. Instead I made sure to get my heart rate up using the Total Gym which is easy to do. Both workouts took about 1 hour each.
