Last night:

1.25 mile run on track

5 sets of farmers carry with 60 lb KB. 30 second plank in between sets

Seated DB shoulder press 2x8x25, 2x8x30

Machine leg curls 4x?x8

Shoulder shrugs 2x65x8, 2x70x8

AB crunch machine 4x?x15

Solid 20-30 minute stretch session for my hamstring, back, shoulder.

Crazy I did a shoulder workout and my shoulder didn't bother me much at all, even on the shoulder press, though I didn't lift heavy. But I get home and it immediately starts hurting bad. Looked it up and numerous websites said heavy shrugs are really bad on a bad rotator cuff. So the shrugs and farmers carry did me in. Could barely sleep last night it was so uncomfortable.

W11 D2:

Squat 4x4x285, 1x310

I didn’t sleep well last night, and the warmups and working sets felt like shite. Weirdly enough the single at 95% off my previous 1rm felt easy.

Going to see a Dr about my shoulder I'm losing sleep every night over the pain now so I need to have it looked at. So I haven't lifted much.

Monday: Ran 1.5 miles

Thursday: Crossfit style workout.

Ran 1.5 miles

5x 15 air squats, 10 pushups, and 5 pull ups circuit

Tried to lift a little too.

DB bench 4x6x50

Machine press, Started with an 8 rep max, then went down in weight one notch and max repped, went down again, all the way down.

I'm feeling it today

W11 D3/4:

Had to skip yesterday because of gigs, so I’m doubling the lifts today. Got in late and slept very little, but that’s the way it goes.

Bench: 4x4x220, 1x245, 1x260

DL: 4x4x265, 1x315

Added in a bit of arms because I’m missing it.

Preacher curls: 3x10x75, 85, 95

W12 D1:

It’s max week and it didn’t start great.

OHP: warmup then 160x1, 180x1 failed, attempted again and failed, dropped to 175 (previous max) and failed.

Leg Ext: 10x120, 140, 160

Lat pulldowns: 10x130, 150, 170

Rear delt raises: 3x10x20s

CG lat pulldowns: 10x130, 150, 160

Really bummed about the OHP failure. I have been inadvertently losing weight for the last couple of weeks because of my work schedule. Guess I’ll reset and do it next time.

Hoping it doesn’t affect my other max days.

Don’t get too down on yourself. OHP is really affected by weight loss, sleep, and stress.

I know that’s probably what’s affecting me. This whole month has been slammed with work, and my sleep has been mediocre at best. The weight loss has been caused by the same. I’m pretty much always eating on the run, that is to say, not enough.

Appreciate your input.

W12 D2:

Squat warmup turn 275x1, 295x1, 315x1, 330x1 (New 1RM), attempted 335 but I got a shifted forward and bailed to the safety bars. I’m going to take the 5 lb increase as a win.

I decided to do my T2 and T3s. I think last week’s one lift per day prep doesn’t work for me.

Bench: 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 245x3

Rope tris: 3x10x80, 90, 100

Rope bis: 3x10x80, 90, 100

BW dips: 3x8

AB curls: 3x10x75

Ehh, PR is PR, or a new 1RM is a new 1RM if that's the case.

Was able to work up to 180 on press tonight for a double. Not sure if that is all time PR or not but close but if I can lose 3 more lbs and hold that, will be first time I have hit that below 190. Goal is to hit a 200 strict press in December. Would be fricking huge for me.

Pretty pumped up right now especially cause my training has been very inconsistent last 6 weeks with the golfers elbow and all the rehab been having to do

Well way to go man, yer closing in on something big. I have trouble progressing on press unless I'm really consistent because I lose strength pretty fast with that lift, compared to others. Does your elbow bother you during pressing movements? Mine never did, which was always the first question people asked me about it. I guess I must have a unique instance of golfer's elbow, pressing didn't do anything do it, just my old squat hand grip setup.

Pressing, squating and trap bar deads do not hurt

Really only pulling exercises hurt other than face pulls

I have done a shite ton of rehab on it and it’s much better but if it’s not gone next month, gonna have to suck it up and run bpc157 and tb500

And yea pressing 2x per week minimum is what I have to do to keep progressing

I'm still lifting. I've been dealing with shoulder and glute issues for the last year or so. My numbers have dipped, but I'm climbing back up.

I've been balancing running and lifting too. I did the Crescent City Classic last weekend.


Last night:

Squats 290x3
Sumo Deadlifts up to 255x7

What are those? I’ve got left arm tendinitis that doesn’t feel so nice on close grip curls and rope curls.

Similar situation here. For me it's on the outside (tennis elbow). I found a video on Youtube from AskDoctorJo and incorporated some of her suggestions into my warmups. Initially I was also using a counterforce brace, but pain has gotten substantially better so I rarely use it anymore (still keep it in my bag for flareups).
