Easy Muscle Weeks 6 and 7

Not much to report, other than steady progress, in terms of ease of effort, and rest time between sets as determined by autoregulation.

My shoulders have been holding up, with occasional irritation in the left shoulder, which seemed to be alleviated by focusing on standing up more with the arms locked out overhead. Being used to contracting the chest muscles to initiate the press also helped.

I've settled on the following cooldown exercises:
  1. Lat stretches as shown in this video by Fitness FAQs. In Week 7 I switched to the hanging version using a ring.
  2. Cobra pose with fingers pointing backwards - stretch wrists and extend spine
  3. Standing forward fold - stretch low back and hamstrings
  4. Modified pigeon pose - stretch hip rotators
  5. Seated twist - more stretching for low back and T-spine
  6. Frog stretch - hip flexors
