    Why not get proper lifting shoes? They could help.

    I think you are leaving a lot of meat on the bone by switching to the Texas method. You still have lots of progress that you can make with LP. Also, you probably want to have all your form issues resolved before kicking the intensity up.

    It's certainly a thought. May have to break down and buy a pair.

    I only meant that for this week potentially to rehab this injury. To work on form and start strengthening that area. I have a lot left to milk from the basic SS program for sure.

    Back with another set of logs! Last week went much better than expected.

    5/30/17
    Squat 3 x 5 (255)
    Press 3 x 5 (125)
    Chin-ups 3 x 15, 11, 9
    Curls 3 x 10, 10, 8
    Push downs 3 x 10

    Press went great this workout and I was pleasantly surprised to get all my reps in.

    6/1/17
    Squat 3 x 5 (260)
    Bench 3 x 5 (170)
    Deadlift 1 x 5 (380)
    Reverse hypers 3 x 15, 12, 10

    The only day I deadlifted last week and I think I'm going to keep deadlifts to once a week so I can keep pushing my squat and not sacrificing recovery there.

    6/4/17
    Squat 3 x 5 (265)
    Press 3 x 4, 4, 3 (127.5)
    Weighted Chin-ups 3 x 5 (60)

    Press was just not there and would've been a big PR so I'm happy to give it another go next time. Getting much more comfortable squatting low bar, but I think I could carry the bar a little lower on my back still. Here's my last set from yesterday:
