Back in today. Felt SO fresh. No pains. Got my "switch" back too.

Bb row - 385*11, 385*10(+2)
Rack Pull - 595*10
Snatch grip rack pull - 315*10(fail)
Bb bench - I suck still 275*6, 225*10
Cable fly - 150*10
Hammer shoulder press - 270*10, 8

I'm either going to stop bench pressing or move it in my training. I've always been strong overhead pressing but flat chest, nah. Will keep trying to find the right formula.

Second post workout meal -
10oz chicken breast
2 cups rice
1oz almonds
1/2 avocado

Upper loading

Small changes. Used Different grip one arm Bb rows. Instead of holding the bar, I help the handle on the weight. By doing this and positioning my body farther forward I feel the lower part of the lat much much better.

Also did a set of DB incline. Haven't done these in months but, I'm going to try to rotate them in. Just a bitch getting them in place. I'm stronger with DB than Bb..... Pathetic. Hammer flat press I used a foam roller between my shoulder blades. Bigger stretch and keeps my chest up more so I feel the entire ROM better.

Dead stop One arm Bb rows (plate grip) - 165*9,8, 6
Incline DB - 150*10
Hammer flat press (w foam roller) - 250*10,9
Ez bar front raise - 60*12, 10
V bar press down - stack *15, 12, 9

Lol my bad.

I've had a large increase in clients these last two weeks so I'm running behind on my forums.

lol, No worries brother. Your log here is more than I've done recently (ever? lol). We all get busy, no need to explain anything

Hope the shoulders are hanging in there. Injuries are the downfall for all of us when they occur. effin' sucks

...but we will prevail

The log is getting better. I like your trainign style. Do you do much pressing on the Smith? You may have seen it but I found John Meadow's new video to be a good watch.

Lower muscle rounds

Romanian split squats - 30*25(+5lbs)
Glute kickback - 70*24
Seated Calf Raise - 135*25, 23, 21

No arms today. Little elbow pain from work so I'll let em rest and hope they don't shrink.

The glute kickback is new for this rotation. I'm trying to get a stretch while the muscle is still engaged as much as possible. This is a hamstring tearer if there ever was one.

Upper loading

Hammer Pulldown - 450*12, 7, 2 drops to failure
Rack Pull - 135+2 orange bands *15, 12
Flat machine press w pad - 360*11, 8
Cable fly - 100*15(failure)
Cage press - 135*9, 7
Cgbp - 235*11, 9
Drag curl - 50*12, 11

Rotating in new movements still to see what I can find that's gonna work.

The hammer Pulldown is a no go. That's maxed out with a pretty damn slow eccentric.

The banded rack pull was good. Amazing tension through the lats and mid back with the bands.

The machine press was good with the pad.

Cage press is always money.
