Log of a Tall Guy

front squat 155x3, 185x3, 205x6
stiff leg dead lifts 135x10x5
(50lb goblet squats x10 to hanging leg raises x5) x 5

Got very sick with laryngitis. Been unable to workout and now am playing super fun catch up at work. First day I felt okay to lift. I close friend moved to where I live now and him and I will be squatting together. So there will be motivation from there since I will have someone to train with again.

bench 145x3, 165x3, 185x3, 195x1, 205x1
press 60x10x5
neutral grip chins 5x3, 4, 3
40lb db rows 8x5 (anything heavier makes my shoulders explode)

Did lots of pull aparts, front and side raises, shoulder dislocates, and face pulls with a band. Both shoulders did not feel good at the end of this workout.

dead lift 255x5, 295x3, 325x1, 335x1, 345x1
good mornings 45x10, 95x10x4
body weight lateral lunges 5x5

I did lot’s of shoulder rehab work with a band between sets.

press 95x5, 115x3, 135x1, 145x1
45lb db bench 10x4, 20
various pull ups 5, 5, 4, 4, 3
inverted rows 5x5

Lots of band work for my shoulders in between sets. Did something weird to my neck warming up for pressing. Not sure what happened at all, but it hurts to turn my head or look up. Did this pressing the 45lb bar. My job sitting in a lab programming is killing my body. I feel so tight all the time. I got to start taking mobility more seriously.

bench 140x5, 160x5, 180x5, 205x1, 215x1

I did other shit but I’m too tired to log it.

yesterday:
press 100x3, 120x3, 130x3, 135x1
pull ups 5x5
45lb db bench 10x5
pull ups 5,4,3
band separates, front and lateral raises, and dislocates X a bunch

I’m finding that at the end of my workout when my left, rear shoulder area is hurting and very tight that the front and lateral raises make it feel a lot better. So much so that I basically have to do them or my shoulder feels like it is going to be numb and tight for the next day. I’m thinking of taking a month off of heavy bench and press and focusing on squatting to let my shoulder heal more.

dead lift 235x5, 265x5, 305x5, 335x1
good mornings 95x10x2, 115x8, 135x5, 65x12

Felt pretty crappy today. Dead lift does not feel like it used to. I think the main reason is I have been front squatting for my shoulders. I think it’s time to start working squatting back in to bring up my dead lift and hopefully, eventually start squatting again instead of front squat.

2 days ago:
bench 150x3, 170x3, 190x3, 205x1, 215x1
45lb db one arm press 10x4
dicking around with kettlebells for 5 minutes for the hell of it.
pull ups x some
stuff with bands for shoulders

The gym at my work as kettlebells apparently. I decided to screw around with them and realized that for the most part I don’t see a point in using them unless you wanted to do swings or something.

Mirin as a fellow tall guy!

Same height and also similar weights I am guessing now that i’ve been cutting.

Keep going hard!
