OK guys and girls that read my log. With bench press off the menu for a while I am thinking it is a good time to add in some specific triceps work. What are your go to exercises for triceps.

I know my opinion doesn’t count for much but I can smoke my tris with DB pullovers/tri ext. Of course those may not be great for your shoulder.
I’m up for trying anything once 
Twice if you like it 
If I like it then I’m all in.

I like this more than I thought I would:
Probably doesn’t fit too well with the “big basics” ethos of the light though

JM press is good, also rolling DB tricep extensions

At the very least, they do a great stretch on the tris, so you will feel them. Decent lat exercise as well, I wish I could find more time to work them in.

Weird session tonight, squats felt creaky and ugly, I think it was left over fatigue from Monday that caught up with me. On the first rep of the second set I must have rushed because the bar went forward and I lost balance and had to step forward to catch myself (see video). Luckily it wasn’t so heavy I couldn’t catch it. Everything else was fine. No bench tonight as per the physios orders.

Haha, you are right, that was a mess. I mean, they all counted, but it looked like a struggle. And I only laugh because we all know you can do cleaner sets with more weight. Funny how the body works.
Glad I mad you smile mate. I was fkn pissed at myself after that one so the next two were better but still not the best. It is to be expected as this is the 4th strength block in a row so fatigue is starting to set in now.
You shoulda just owned it and done a few more reps just like the first one, and then proclaim loudly afterwards “aaaahhh yeah brand new PR for my forward-leaning stumble squats, bitches!”

I’m just glad you didn’t get hurt. That could have ended quite badly.
Thanks mark. At least there is no window for the rack to fall through
