Day 23

Lifted.  Still in the second phase - two sets of 12 reps of the original weights (currently at right).  I added in the calf exercises and core twist machine as well because both of those areas seemed neglected.

It went well - the most marked improvement was triceps which posed little trouble today after being the biggest problem in the last couple sessions.  The deadlift, which had been easy, seemed harder today.  The overhead lift was tricky (but not impossible) as usual.  I don't know what accounts for the variations, but I'll chalk it up to improved strength and reduced soreness.

My left shoulder, which has been nagging me, nagged less yesterday.  Maybe the YTWLs or the different swimming posture are helping.  I'll keep it up and hope to get back to it.

Followed the lift with my typical 15 minutes of vigorous walking -- i don't enjoy it, but it's probably good for me.

As of today, I have been exercising for one month!
