I bet if you went out there everyday and just did a couple sets with one plate just for the stretch it would help. |

I did the opposite yesterday - two triples at 455 after the top set. Still sucked. I'm trying to add volume without burning my cns out. In my head 495x2 is easy because I can easily pull it x3. I did a set of 30 DB rows with 100lbs dbs too which felt good. I haven't done DB rows in a while. |

Last couple weeks I've felt my bench form has been off. My bench has never been great. My all time pr was 365 back 15 years ago. I'd be happy for now with 3 plates.
Last couple weeks I've gotten 295 for 3 but they felt unstable. Today I had no intention to go over 275. I just wanted more volume. I did 135 for 2 sets of 10. 225x10, 245x10. Then 275 for 4, 3,3. Then incline DB then some crossovers. Feeling pretty good. |

Got my Viking Press setup finally. I don't know why but ever since I did one at a strongman comp I have wanted one and now I have one.
 Attached FileOnly 200#, but a 5X5 of that and my lats feel ::fire:: today. Looking forward to working these into the rotation. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GUNGUY148: Do you feel it's significantly different than OHP? I do, although I admit the difference is subtle: 1: Reps. It's a lot more taxing to "bring down" heavy OHP's, but not for any good reason. You slip a little on the grip coming back down, maybe you're a little fatigued and the bar crashes into your collarbone...it sucks. Here I feel like I can do many more reps at the same weight, but not have any pain from catching on the down. 2: Since the bar travel is fixed, I am a lot more confident in FUCKIN' SEND IT on the push. I don't have to control the bar path, I just need to explode up and finish well. 3: It's a lot harder to subconsciously cheat by power jerking. I find in an OHP the temptation to catch is a lot more prevalent because I want CONTROL of that bar. With the fixed arc of the viking press, I can just grind that shit out without having to worry about the weight controlling ME. Does that make sense? |

I missed PR on OHP but was able to hit PRs on the other 3 this week.
OHP 133.5lbs for 4 Deadlift 336.5lbs for 6 Bench 170lbs for 11 Squat 308lbs for 7 According to the app that makes my estimated one rep maxes OHP 151lbs Deadlift 404lbs Bench 232lbs Squat 380lbs and makes my estimated powerlifting total 1016lbs. Not too bad for just under a year of lifting and having a few injuries. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten one more on squat but I didn't want to risk blowing my knee. |

It does, I'll be interested in a follow-up after a month or so too. I lag terribly behind in OHP and anytime I push real hard I end up feeling beat up I'm my shoulders. Not a muscular pump but joints are achy. Something like that may work well for me. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 03RN: I need to warm up more. Some weeks my shoulder or elbow says no back squat for you. So I do front squats. I totally get that, after stretching I do 10 reps at 45 and 95 to get loosened up. Sometimes it takes a couple more sets before I feel like i don't look silly AF. 10 years ago that was a non issue. ETA: been thinking about a safety squat bar, I know the weights will be less but that isn't as important to me as it used to be. |

Low bar, I managed to injur both knees in the last few months. It's very annoying, I can't squat or deadlift without sleeves and even with the sleeves they aren't super happy about it.

I'm still mostly focusing on unfucking my shoulder. Every day I do at least a little something for them. The shoulderok is cool, the weight adds up really fast on it.
Since my shoulder is undeniably going to hold me back for a while, I was doing some thinking and wanted to address what I viewed as my weak points when I wasn't so weak. I want to focus on grip strength early and often, I don't want to rely on straps for heavy deads. Obviously I am working on my shoulders, but that is a point I want to address in a few way (mobility and strength). There were days on squats where I'd have my hands all the way out on the collars outside of the j hooks. Also want to focus on core and hamstrings, keep the anterior pelvic tilt under control. I don't know if I'll ever put my bench shirt back on and try to press over 600lbs again... but I'm looking forward to the journey. Except getting unfat. Definitely got fat and have to cut. Hard. That's sucking. |

I hate running so I just stopped once I didn't have to anymore. Just go do some half mile runs and then work up to 1 mile. Then you probably won't die during the 5k. I never went into preseason prepared, I'll be damned if I start now. That was the worst. Throw hay and drink all summer then jump right into 3 a day's with ladder sprints and shit......so sore. D3 ball for the win....all you had to do was show up. |

I remember being so sore we had to help each other out of bed at 6am each day the first week. Then of course the field was at the top of a giant hill. It was a fun time in my life. I didn't even have a computer or cell phone, we all practiced, ate and hung out together for almost two weeks on campus before the other students came back. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AnvilUSMC: I'm still mostly focusing on unfucking my shoulder. Every day I do at least a little something for them. The shoulderok is cool, the weight adds up really fast on it. Since my shoulder is undeniably going to hold me back for a while, I was doing some thinking and wanted to address what I viewed as my weak points when I wasn't so weak. I want to focus on grip strength early and often, I don't want to rely on straps for heavy deads. Obviously I am working on my shoulders, but that is a point I want to address in a few way (mobility and strength). There were days on squats where I'd have my hands all the way out on the collars outside of the j hooks. Also want to focus on core and hamstrings, keep the anterior pelvic tilt under control. I don't know if I'll ever put my bench shirt back on and try to press over 600lbs again... but I'm looking forward to the journey. Except getting unfat. Definitely got fat and have to cut. Hard. That's sucking. Have you tried over head presses? |

After all my violent encounters in my life I was huffing by the end. Getting ready ahead of time means I can function better when shits going down. Lately I don't even do restraints at work anymore but running up a mountain to a cabin during a code that has my patients in it with a jump kit has me winded. Being able to assess then, get vitals, figure out what's going on before my coworkers arrive by vehicle is pretty nice. |
