I sprained my sternoclavicular joint two and a half weeks ago from taking a bad roll in aikido so have been taking time off. I am now able to bike again, though, and have been enjoying the unusually warm and sunny weather here.
Before that, I'd been (very) slowly working through NROLFW. I am more consistent with my wrist strengthening exercises though and am up to 15-lb dumbbells on wrist curls, rotations, and sideways curls (the other rotational axis).
Last time I got to deadlift I lifted 95 lb! I feel like I may want to work on squat technique and try not going quite as deep because both squat and bench press are around 55 lb and it seems weird that they would be that close to each other. I am flexible in the hips so it's possible for me to go quite far down without rounding my back but when I do I seem to end up pushing through the ball of my foot on the way up. If I get my act together, bodyweight squats while my chest is healing would probably be a good call.
