Cycle 5 - End
ASRB2: 7:5+1
The +1 on the end of the cycle was for New Years' Eve. Given the late night activities, tame though they were, I took an extra rest night. This also nicely synchronizes the remaining cycles with the calendar.
Shoulders are on and off. I realized that the hard foam wedge I have been sleeping on is likely a contributing factor. I sleep on my side, and that wedge has no give to it. So I got a thicker regular pillow and stopped sleeping on the wedge. Let's see if that helps.
Otherwise, nothing of note. Definitely inclined toward a second run after this one. I think my physical conditions will take longer to heal.

I'm going to be looking into some physical therapy for the shoulders. Will continue with OPH as well. I'm about as definite as I can be that I'll need a second run, both to assist the physical therapy and to address other medical concerns.

Not noticing anything different. Shoulder pain is about the same, increasing and decreasing day to day with no pattern I can see. Nothing noticeable with any other physical matters, either. Marching on.

Not noticing any changes. Not with my shoulders, nor with anything else. Feeling frustrated.

Hanging from a bar and isometric exercises help me when I had shoulder problems.

I still need to get started with a physical therapist. Hopefully within the next week or so.

Interim
Was reading through other journals, keeping up with current posts, and saw where someone had followed AutoConfig urges to increase the number of loops. I've never had that urge before; my AutoConfig urges have always been to adjust the ASRB2 cycle. And I know a lot of folks' AutoConfig urge is to increase loops. The fact that it stood out to me this time, when I am frustrated at my apparent lack of progress, suggests that I may need to add a loop.
Not going to make the call yet. I'll see if that urge passes, remains, etc. before the next cycle starts this weekend.

Nothing different. I'm going to up the loops to 4. Also confident that a second run will be beneficial.
