8/20/12

Squat: 3x5x235
Press: 1x5x115
Pull ups +12.5: 5,5,6

Never felt more committed.
Never had more pain in my shoulder.

Really need to get a better diagnosis than " You irritated some part of your shoulder. Don't think anythings torn. Stop lifting"

Is the pain worse with the press or the pull? Or same? Mine hurts on press but not so much on pull

Definitely the press.

So lots of pain, got a bit discouraged and took the week off. Some low back pain too, which I assume, is from losing posture in the hole while squatting. Worked on that today.

Was glad to go to the gym today. Lifting gives me the strength to stay on my diet and not bum cigarettes off coworkers.

8/30/12

Deadlift: 1x4x320, 1x320
Started to slip and and was worried i could not hang on for the fifth. Next time I will try a mixed grip.

Squat: 3x5x245
Barely made the last one.

Press: 3x5x95
These irritate my shoulder so I did this light set to satisfy my OCD.

9/4/12

Squat: 3x5x250
Bench: 3x5x150
Pull ups +15: 5,5,6


Shoulder good.
Low back wrecked.

No squatting till the scary back pain/soreness disappears. Felt it last lift or too. Never had back pain from squatting before.

Bw: 190.5
To many high carb meals.

I reviewed your technique vids and I know they're old but...

Watch them again and look at your position in the very bottom. I can see a little bit of butt wink. That is, your butt rolling under and your lower back not remaining fully extended. It could be that your butt wink has increased? Or that the loss of extension is slight enough that it didn't cause pain 80 lbs ago? Try looking right around 0:26or7, 0:30, just watch your bottom position closely.

Sucks to trade a shoulder problem for a back problem

Another mid 30's Seattle-ite. Good to see.
