DDAY- Nice squat work…man that is a huge number of sets! On the shoulder, definitely get a 2nd and you may want to wonder over to Cressey.com. Eric is a shoulder guru and has tons of published materials…I couldnt bench, dip, curl or virtually anything until Eric helped me out…maybe it would help you as well.
P.S. best Avatar on the site!
What I found to work the best for my shoulder injury which I think was impingement too was…
Face pulls
Face pulls and
Pulls to the face
With a rope, high to the forehead, hands going behind ears.
Your doctor sounds like Dr Nick off the Simpsons, “Hey everybody”. Does he have a degree from the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College too?

Find a good ortho for the shoulder, one that doesnt like to cut first and ask questions later. If you live near any colleges that have football programs look for a ortho that has done work on those kids. Or any sport related ortho’s is your best bet. [/quote]
Good idea DJ. I’ve stuck with my Dr mostly because he’s receptive to my training lifestyle but that only gets a guy so far. There are a few colleges around so I will check into those as well as check with my trainer friends.

WOW thanks Goat I love that picture.
I’ve read a lot of Cresseys stuff in the past but didn’t think about him, thanks again.

Ha ha, no doubt he is a little Dr. Nick like.
Face pulls will become a staple. I do them off and on, why I don’t do them all the time is beyond me, that’s going to change. Thanks.

Since my training partner is back had him shoot video of my last set of deads, for some reason youtube has it in process? Once it’s done I will post it.
This morning got in a couple miles. Hamstrings and hips were super tight. Amazingly humid at 6am and 66*, took an hour to stop sweating even after a shower.
More focused on this race than ever, the thought of beating the pants off my coworkers is fueling the fire. The other day I asked one of them if he’d been training and he said he messed up his knee (BS) but plans on competing and will just live through the pain. This is the guy I want to beat most of all. He’s already got his excuses worked out but if he beats me then I’ll never hear the end of how a one legged man beat the health nut.
Look out prowler, we gone dance!
Great work and I’m not surprised that you’re tight after that many deads.
I enjoying reading the motivation for racing. Sometimes that’s the push that we need.

Very high volume on the squats and deads. I’ll second brett, facepulls are your friend. And run, don’t walk, to a new Doc.
Your gonna “finish” way ahead of your co-workers and their BS excuses.
Leave him in the dust, Dday.
Thanks y’all, starting to get excited!!!
and Matty W…T…F???
Thats a lot of effing DLs.
Holy crap dday!! That’s some serious volume on those deads. No wonder your hammies were tight when you went running 
What’s this race you’re into?

I got ropped into the warrior dash on the 30th. Will be running with a couple guys from work. Still not sure what I was thinking, 5k with obsticles, in July in Kansas City, home of 88% humidity and 100* days.
Took the prowler for a walk, lemme say this, it’s HOT!!!
Warmed up
Prowler+45’s 10 sets @ 80 yards
This was all about conditioning so I didn’t throw a bunch of weight on. As some of you know my “path” for the prowler is about 40yards down and 40 back, my goal was to go ME down then what ever I had back. Rest was until my heart stopped moving my shirt. Sets 9&10 were down and back with no rest. Warm up and everything took about 20 minutes +/- Good times.
Crazy volume good work!
and yes try to seek another DR.
Im not sure which tired me out more reading about all those deads or the reading about the prowler work…awesome training!!

Dday the running is not what is going to kick your ass, its the obstacles by the last one you are dead full body tired. I really look forward to hearing how this went, since now I am mental and will be doing all of these with the wife. Warrior, spartan and the beach one in September.
As long as I can get beer and my feed on afterward really looking forward to it.
