Comments:
Left shoulder is aggravating me, seems to be the culprit in stopping my progress on bench. Maybe I’m just weak. Haha I hope it’s not the latter of the two.

Power Clean was done @ 185
Finished up with some bodybuilding type stuff for my shoulders. Nothing worthy of posting here.
If you are having any sort of shoulder issues, google the diesel crew how to shoulder rehab. Give it a try for 3 weeks, and notice the difference.
Are you a crossfitter? Thats what the couple workouts posted make me think.
Ecchastang: thanks for the advice! Will definitely look into incorporating that into my routine. Somedays i feel like I should get it checked out because sometimes it just begins to get irritated out of nowhere, then other days it doesn’t hinder me at all and just kind of pops and cracks when I internally rotate it or roll my shoulder back. Haha no I’m not. I just want to build my work capacity and be able to “carry my engine.” ( as mark twight would say) I also follow alpha’s log and decided to give his template a try.

Comments:
Conditioning was tougher than expected. Was originally shooting for 10 burpees for all the rounds, but I quickly changed that after the second set because by the time I finished it I had like 20 seconds to rest until my next round so I decided to go down by 2 every two rounds.
Pretty happy with the PR today, wasn’t looking forward to squatting after the conditioning because my legs felt kind of spent but surprisingly they felt really smooth today.
Was shooting to get 20 reps with 250 but didn’t get a good breath of air before I went down for my 16th rep and the integrity of my back gave out and I folded over. Re-racked the weight as fast as I could and completed the last 5 reps.
Good lifting today.

Comments:
Everything felt heavy today.
Lower back was tight and I think ill attribute that to not stretching and all the squats from the other day.
Bench press has kind of stalled the last two weeks, which is why I decided to add a but more volume and adding 5 reps to the back off sets.
I’ve been running the 9-10x3 for about 6 weeks now and I think I’m gonna take a deload week and begin with a 6 x 5 for the strength portion and see how it goes.

Was short on time today and then both of the power racks were taken with dudes that were just talking majority of the time… Waited like 20 min after the cleans to actually squat. By then I had like 20 min till the gym closed so just squatted.
Lower back felt tight, especially at the bottom of the hole. I knew as soon as I loaded 205 and descended it that it was gonna be no bueno for me.
Definitely gonna stretch.

Not gonna be able to hit the gym for 5 days so decided to do a full-body workout.
Considering I haven’t done front squats in some time, other than when I do cleans, I was pretty content with hitting 250 for 5.
Was gonna finish it off with some tgu’s but took to much pre-workout and vomited some time after the second super set.

Body is pretty thrashed from the workout yesterday after the 5 day escape I had from the weights. Tried doing some light bench presses but my shoulders were not feeling it so I decided to work up to a single on the front squat. I haven’t tried pushing it in some time so I figured Id see where I was at. I think I’m gonna switch out the back squat for the front for some time and see where that takes me.
Pause front squats suck.

Comments:
Shoulders still I bit tight. Wanted my top sets for the bench to fall around 200 but 185 felt heavy.
Hips were also a bit tight going into this from the front squats I did the day before but I pushed through and managed 240 for my top set which is less than ideal but I’ll take it.

Went into the gym today and tried to do some cleans but my tight hamstrings and hips halted that early on. Instead I just rowed for a bit and I’m gonna stretch later today.
Anyone have anything they like to do when the next day the doms sets in and every body part feels like it’s pumped full of lead?
