I think it has to do with a lack of scapular stability. I could seated press just fine, but as soon as I was unable to pin my shoulder blades back against a bench, it hurt like hell. I’d been doing push presses with a neutral grip on the v-squat machine for a little while, and that’s been the only standing pressing I’ve done in almost a year I think.

“Press” as in overhead press, not bench press

I’ve OHP’s 135x3.
WHAT!
30 minutes cardio
Restoration-
Foam Roll: IT Band, Hams, Piriformous, VMO, RF, Adducters, Hip Flexors, T-spine
Stretch: Thoracic extension, lunge and reach, calves, lats, shoulder dislocates
Deadlift- worked up to 365x5
Power Squat- worked up to 360x10
Shrugs- 225x20 x2
Back XT- bw x 1 minute
Also did some neck and ab work. Decided to pick my battles with the deadlifts and only go for the prescribed reps, so those were well short of failure. Hopefully taking it easy with those will leave me with enough gas to push my box squats hard later in the week.
look at you getting wiser in your old age!
Nice work man, hopefully you heal up those hips, I’m starting to really have pains in my right one myself.

Thanks. Honestly, the best advice I can give you is to start taking your foam rolling, mobility, and warm ups serious NOW before things get bad. I got lazy on this stuff and it ended up fucking me up. Get yourself a piece of 6" PVC pipe and some tennis balls and get to work. Defranco’s “agile eight” routine is a good place to start as far as dynamic warm ups go, although right now I am doing something a little different because I have some specific issues I am addressing.
Oh, and if you keep your wallet or dip in your back pocket, be sure you take it out before you sit down. I did that for years before I started lifting seriously and I suspect the structural issues that it caused are related to what I’m dealing with now.
Today:
Foam rolled EVERYTHING
Spent the better part of today moving a 500 gallon, double layer, insulated refrigeration vat onto a trailer with nothing more than a couple of boards and a manual winch. I did this myself. Needless to say, by the time I got to the gym, I wasn’t feeling like doing a whole hell of a lot. At least it’s the weekend.
Bench- worked up to 245x10
Pronated Chin- 35 total reps, sub-10 minutes
Elbows Out XT- 30x12 x3
Barbell Curl- 65x15 x2
aww you act like the vat was big or something.

Damn, I guess its time for a money clip for the front pocket. I usually leave the dip in the front pocket becuase even though I have a ghetto ass, the can line still hurts it
so when are you going heavy?

Or you could be like me and always be pulling your big ass wallet out whenever you want to sit down. I’m lucky I haven’t left it somewhere yet, haha.

BRB, doing reverse bands.
Box Squat- worked up to 315x5
SSB Good Morning- 5 sets of 10
Sissy Squat- 2 sets of 15
Still not feeling 100%. My right leg still has something going on with it…adducter is tight and glutes and hip flexors are both knotted up, which is pulling me out of alignment. Could have eeked out a few more reps but cut it at 5. My PR is 15 and there was no way I was getting there today, so no point in beating myself into the dirt. Live to fight another day I guess. I’m tired of light shit feeling heavy on my back. Not sure why, but lately everything feels far too heavy.
