My first day of upper body work in a month was yesterday and today my wrist really hurts. Decided to do pause squats, below parallel but off the very bottom, 3 second rest. Made it to 275 when my wrist suddenly hated squats too, so I'm going to rest until that stupid 5k Saturday morning and squatting with the Juggernaut folks that night. With ample aleive I should be fine. Next time you do pause squats, try this and tell me what you think: The number of seconds you pause at the bottom is whatever number rep you're on. 5th rep- 5 sec, etc My buddy and I did that for 3x8 @ 225 after our main squat session and god we were smoked at the end |

Solid bench session last night with nonshoulder pain.
Solid grappling session on Monday with lots of pain, but not from my shoulder.

I was doing sets of 5 with 3 second pause, did 135, 225 and 4 of them at 275 and my ass is pretty sore today. |

Got to 300 and was done. No belt of course, and about a 3 second pause. To start off, ATG is easier than parallel, but when you get to heavier weight, it gets harder because you can't get back up. |

Shit. Now I have to see if I can hit a 10 -rep pause squat? Maybe a far lighter weights than you, but I'll try it. I went to the gym yesterday just to try out a bunch of things and see if it hurt my wrist, 20lb dumbbell hurt just to pick up, but laying tricep extensions were ok. Did a 3km row the other day, that hurt more than just the wrist. I can tell all the squats and nothing else for last month have gotten me some gains on the squat again.
Maybe next month I'll do paused overhead squats, then at least I know they'll be really light

I'm hoping to stay healthy and keep my training on track for some serious strength gains. |

I think I might do a couple cycles of 5/3/1 to regain some strength. I was stronger while oly lifting but I don't think I'm up to the volume it took to get that strong right now. I'm also just a bit leery of the explosive movements while the knee is still healing. Powerlifting may be better for a while.
So...5/3/1 seems to make sense. Any other suggestions for regaining strength after knee surgery? Anything you guys think will be better? |

Ive been doing squat every day since wiping out on the ski slope and hurting my knee, been working pretty good since I was down for almost 6 months its like beginners gains all over again. Might switch to 5/3/1 for summer though. |

The local gym has a 1000lb (S/b/d) club that you can qualify for and get some free stuff (shirt, shaker, stickers, ect). Right now I'm concentrating on getting my working sets higher to make it. I'm hoping that I can make it in 8 weeks. Pulled 365 earlier int the week for a single, I may have 385. |

I read through that gastric bypass/sleeve thread in GD this morning. That's the most depressing thread I've ever read.
Even more so because I happened to buy a book about habits at the airport and read 2/3rds of it yesterday, so I'm thinking of these habits and self control issues that are rampant. On a side note, there was a chapter about ambition/will and how it must be trained like a muscle. Weight lifting was one example given of how a person is training their will as much as their body. Made me want to sit down and add some 'will training' for the kids. Turns out self control is also like a muscle and has to be developed, and after a few instances of exhibiting self control it becomes harder to keep doing it. |

Not only how many got the surgery...but how many reverted back (or bigger) 
I've watched My 600lb Life on TV...it's crazy how these people think they are dependent on the surgery. Dr says..."loose 50lbs on your own" and when they are only at 30lbs they panic "If Dr Now won't perform the surgery...I don't know what I'll do, there is no hope for me" . Then they loose a ton, but not enough for skin reduction surgery...same panic

I think I'll do 5/3/1 but thought it might be a good idea to get some input maybe from other guys that have recovered from something similar to see if there's a better option. |

All I can say after a lifetime of construction work, and seeing numerous people get broke and repaired, is to take it slow. You know your potential, don't get in a hurry to go 110%. Slow and steady wins the race, and 5/3/1 is geared toward just that. I saw the strongest guy I personally know today after quite a while. Man, he is getting really big. Didn't have time to talk numbers, but he must be nearing a 1500# total. On a bad day he moves 1000#, and he is far bigger than the last time I saw him. Told him I had to take six weeks off for a shoulder injury and lost some ground. Told me he does it regularly to let his body heal completely. Thought that was interesting. |

Thanks guys.
Well... My workload fluctuates. When I'm not in the hospital I have more free time. Starting July/August... It'll be pretty stable and awesome working like 8-4 m-f... As far as regulation of work/recovery. I reload every 3rd week on weight stuff. And now that I'm shifting into endurance mode for the summer... I'm capping my top end power at 500/300/600. And working based off of percents of these.... We will keep my reps 8-10... Percents at 60's or so... This will help minimize the impact the strength stuff has on my endurance stuff. Every 4-5weeks I dial back the distance on runs by 20-30% and re progress. This seems to help reduce injuries for my big ass. Primary goal is to preserve strength. Develop some Olympic skill. And make an hour of swimming, 3 hours of biking and 2 hours of running something relatively tolerable to do in a day... |

The hard part is getting it, apparently the underground stuff is cheaper but frequently fake, pharma stuff is great but super spendy and you have to convince a doc to prescribe it. I've been looking into it for a while and would really like to do it, just can't find a source I trust and don't spend enough time at home to get to a doc. Basically, steroids build muscle but tend to weaken connective tissue, HGH builds connective tissue and a zillion other benefits. |

I read through that gastric bypass/sleeve thread in GD this morning. That's the most depressing thread I've ever read. Even more so because I happened to buy a book about habits at the airport and read 2/3rds of it yesterday, so I'm thinking of these habits and self control issues that are rampant. On a side note, there was a chapter about ambition/will and how it must be trained like a muscle. Weight lifting was one example given of how a person is training their will as much as their body. Made me want to sit down and add some 'will training' for the kids. Turns out self control is also like a muscle and has to be developed, and after a few instances of exhibiting self control it becomes harder to keep doing it. If you haven't read it...Henry Rollins Makes some great points. I consider most of my success in life as a direct result of my father getting me into lifting and training at 11. |

It's the best recovery/strength building program. The guy who put me onto it had two shoulder surgeries I think. I couldn't find a program that would get me more than 3 months before retearing/injuring something. Knee, shoulder, both wrists and neck. The hardest part about it for me was the incredibly low weight and slow pace of increasing weight (at times) But after a year I have at least doubled all my lifts (from he post injury weight I could put up) without any new injuries. |

Yeah I'm going to start really light....it'll get boring but I know it'll also pay dividends in the long run. |

Wifey hit a 139lb squat which was a PR for her. I didn't even try to PR after that 5k run earlier, but mostly did some reps at 345 and 355 to work on some of the breathing and bracing cues. Good class, learned a lot about how he does programming and the theory behind it.
Really nice guys. Good class with a huge variety of lifters. One kid was 14 and he was lifting with my wife and just behind me, so I was able to hear the corrections and advise. That's the biggest thing I was after, the overall wisdom of coaches more than just cleaning up my squat. |

Cold and rainy... - - - Swim tomorrow am... Maybe some oly skill work and a 2 hour cycling session tomorrow pm. 1-2hr cycle and 1hr run Saturday. Swim or skill work and a 30minute run Sunday... That's fast, bro. How do you like minimalist running? |

Honestly not a fan.
At my size it beats up my feet. My feet and calves were tore up after that. Not somethings would have done if I had an alternative pair of shoes... |

Squat to 200#. Run 2 @ 10 minutes each.
No shoulder pain whatsoever. Thank goodness, that sucked. |

12 days out. I tweaked my lower back which really sucks but it's not terrible. Just can't deadlift too heavy at the moment. I'll be fine by the meet for sure. I took an Epsom salt bath. I don't fit in the fucking tub, could bearly breathe, heart was beating out of my chest and broke out itching like never before. I think I might have had some type of allergic reaction. Seems I had a few hives. "Oh this will help you recover and relax." Bullshit. But I've really never been able to relax so there's that.
