My rib is back effed up, which has me down, so lighter weights and more bodybuilding type stuff.

3 giant sets of 185x12 bench, face pulls, side laterals and band shrugs.

2 more giant sets of weighted pushups, dips, side laterals, face pulls, curls and skullcrushers.

2 giant sets of sledgehammer swings, curls and skullcrushers. Tabata upper air bike to finish.

It’s all light weight. I’m probably going to replace deficits with RDLs.

Had a shite Deadlift workout last night. I knew something was off as soon as I finished my warmup sets. I think all this max training caught up with me last night, and I poorly spaced my workouts this week. I struggled to even do 365x3.

Next week is the last training week I have before my meet. I'm gonna do M,W,F and go Squat Bench Dead. Taking the weekend off to recover.

Everyone in this thread started where you are at, so don’t let the numbers get you down. Honestly, the beginning is the most fun part because you get stronger so much more rapidly.

You doing 5/3/1 BBB?

Busy Weekend.

Missed Friday Workout so I doubled up Saturday which cut recovery on Monday's workout. Some bicep tendonitis kicking in today. Barely finished Bench sets. Going to ice my bicep this evening.

Btw if you are doing 531 and want to run any of the templates from forever.... ultimate 531 app is pretty freaking awesome, but it does have a monthly fee.

Is your bar position on squats lowish? I ask bc that was a huge trigger for me on elbow tendonitis until I worked on shoulder mobility.

Yeah, this is my 5th month on BBB. I started it after I healed up from an ankle injury and have been really happy with the results. I’m as strong as I’ve ever been right now and look pretty good to go along with it when my diet is right.

Yeah I am low bar squatting. Very interesting point. I’ve completely skipped out on mobility work recently. Might be a good thing to start doing.

I mentioned bc I had bad bicep tendonitis. I do banded dislocations before every squat workout, and it's fully cleared up the issue.

I'd seen a few videos on how tight shoulders will transition the stress to the next joint down, which is the elbow.

2 more giant sets of weighted pushups, flyes, side laterals, face pulls, curls and close grip board press.

Neck and grip work to finish.

You baws doing underhand or overhand on your BB rows? I keep rotating my grip to decide which one I like better and honestly can’t decide. I feel like underhand gets my lats better, but overhand activates more of my back overall.
