Was actually thinking about that. I think it might be a bit late for the pec repair as that was 3 years ago but I guess it might still help my old muscles recover from minor injury etc?
Had an ultrasound to check my shoulder / chest just to be sure and the dude said repaired tendon looks ok.
Noted some minor muscle damage in the pec belly or "Increased echogenicity" as he put it. But he seemed to think it was ok and should just take it easy on the chest.
Thing is, I wasn't...

Based on how my muscles feel today, like they've had a much harder workout, I think I might be better to drop the weight back a bit and focus more on this.
I feel like I got a better workout with just these two exercises per muscle rather than my usual high volume day.
Short light session tonight. So focused on form and mind muscle connection

Last nights workout.
Felt a slight tearing sensation in my shoulder on my incline chest press last night. No pain or any other sensation, but it was my re-attached pec side, so naturally the mind spirals into anxiety.

Foods going fairly good. Hitting my 200g protein goals daily. Bit too high in fats, but working on it. I've stopped trying to eat at a deficit for the time being as I am not recovering, and don't want to dial back the workouts at the moment as I'm enjoying the intensity too much. Really enjoying...
