I'll only do proteins with milk- Strawberry Syntha 6 or Chocolate Combat with 2% or higher milk is actually really very good.

531 week this week. Get some!
Also, I got some bad tendonitis in my right elbow now. I skipped my shoulder workout this weekend as a result. I think I will invest in some elbow sleeves soon. btw, 531 for PL now in hard copy HERE |

My right tricep/shoulder is hurting like hell for some unknown reason so no pressing for me for a couple weeks
 . I am going to focus more on rows and pullups since they don't cause any pain.
Hit 270x9 (3 reps req) for squats on Saturday  . I think the magic potion is working, I'm hardly sore at all! Thanks for the tip!

Dude! That sucks about the tri/delt pain, take care of it and it will take care of you.
I am about to hit busy season with work, hopefully I'll be able to keep my schedule going somewhat. I really don't want to have to pick and choose what I work on.

Holy shit I'd never of thought there'd be a 5/3/1 thread here. Badass. I ran 5/3/1 about 2 years back and made some good gains on it, then switched to a custom 5x5 routine. Any powerlifters that compete here?

I did one USAPL meet this past summer. I'll probably do another one after ski season. Actually have a video of my deadlift from that meet on my youtube channel. There is a couple of other really strong dudes that post in this forum on occasion too (strong as in 500+ bench and 800+ dead) |

The girl friend went to the gym with me last night and took a few pics I thought I would share.
Yeah, I am using straps pulling the heavy stuff. Haters gonna hate but the slick ass bar and no chalk blows. 
From this morning, 6' tall and fatter than I have been in years, but the strongest I have ever been 
I finished up with 5x10 at 225. That is getting MUCH easier

They use well over half the gym space for a Zumba room and a women's only work out room That gym really does suck but being in a small town I don't have any other options.
Thanks for the tip on the double overhand, I hadn't thought of that. |

Thanks. 1 rep short of a PR but, my elbows felt pretty good yesterday so that's good. I did a buttload of light CGBP, rope extension and some hammmer strength high rows to get the blood going in the whole elbow/bi region without stressing it too much. I think it helped a lot as I wasn't in much pain at all after I got home.

Being hurt blows
, so doing that with a hurting elbow is quite good. I am hoping to bench again soon, last week my arm was hurting like hell at 190 . Its been feeling good since then but I'm not going to push it.

Also you must grow a beard. The iron is silently mocking you because you of your clean face. Once you get a beard, the iron knows you mean business.

This is true.
The only reason AZ-AR15 gets away with it is because the iron already knows his ways, and he has already shown his beard before. |

AZ knows the Iron's true name, you guys should read "The Name of the Wind" <sidebar>. Thus he merely commands it.
Gun, your beard is like tickling the iron. To be fair since I have lost weight I shave mine with no guard into a fashionable douchie mcdoucherson roughness. Basically, I want to look like I just got off a grueling motorcycle ride but it still holds my wife's smell if you catch what I'm putting down...save it for later. Mostly, that was just some rambling to say I don't trust a man that doesn't have facial hair. He's probably trying too hard not to hide something. Please continue lifting. |

Jim Wendler Open QA - TNation Speaking of bad days, Monday was a terrible squat day for me. I nearly failed getting 450x4 when I did 470x5 two weeks ago. Shit happens. Doesn't help that I was lazy with my diet over the de-load period too. Anyway, 315x6 for bench today. I think the 6th rep was the biggest grind I have ever had on bench too. 1 rep short of a PR though. Still happy since it appears bench didn't suffer like my squat did. |

Still no benching or OHP for me:(. My right tri/delt has been a pita for the last few months. On and off pain, comes and goes as it pleases with no rhyme or reason, hell I don't even know what I did to hurt it. I'm going to rest it till the first of the year, get a solid month off.
I replaced OHP with upright rows, bench with traditional BB rows and I'm going pendlay style on warm up and BBB. Also still doing pullups/chins. I was kinda impressed with myself, my previous PR on BB rows was 185x3. I havent done any in 2 months and I cranked out a PR of 225 for one good solid pull to between navel and nipples and another rep to navel. It was way cool rowing what I used to DL:) Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

What kind of pain are you getting?
I've noticed on my heavy sets of OHP that I get some pain in my left shoulder. I also catch myself compensating by subtly shifting my body and the weight to my right arm. |
