    Had another good day. I didn't go crazy b/c as you all know my left shoulder has been giving me problems. I warmed up and this time I waited will I was doing triceps to perform my rehab shoulder movements and I think that helped. I had to wait for one of the 2 people to arrive at the gym to get a liftoff since the wife is out of town.. I got in and got it done. I forgot to put 2.5lbs plates on my last set but I was happy b/c 325lbs went up easy and my shoulder didn't hurt.

    WAVE 22 WEEK 4
    CHEST:

    Flat Bench~ 270lbsX5, 300lbsX3, 325lbsX1
    325lbs for 1 was easy. I was happy my shoulder didn't hurt.

    Reverse Bench~ 175lbsX7, 195lbsX5, 215lbsX5, 235lbsX3

    TRICEPS:
    DB Kickbacks~ 25lbsX7, 27.5lbsX7, 30lbsX 2(5), 35lbsX3

    EZ Curl Bar Skulls~ 65lbsX7, 75lbsX5, 85lbsX5, 95lbsX5

    Overall not to shabby. My triceps numbers are slowly going up. I just have to be careful to choose my exercises carefully so it doesn't bother my left shoulder. I can't do any overhead movements for the time being. I'll be calling the college tomorrow to get things set up for when I return from vacation.

    Default Jan 28, 11 ~ Back

    I had probably one of my best days in a long time. Performed my dynamic warm up outside b/c the weather permitted and drank 2 powerades during my training. It was a bit longer than usual since I also did biceps.

    WAVE 22 WEEK 4
    BACK:

    Deadlift (conventional)~ 198kgX5, 222kgX3, 246kgX3 PR
    246kg (542lbs) for a triple is def a PR for me.

    Seated GM on Bench~ 175lbsX5, 185lbsX5, 195lbsX5, 205lbsX3, 215lbsX3

    Snatch Pulls from Hang~ 90kgX 2(5), 100kgX 2(3)

    Bent Over Rows~ 90kgX5, 100kgX 2(5), 110kgX3

    BICEPS:

    Alt DB Curl~ 30lbsX7, 35lbsX7, 40lbsX7, 45lbsX5, 50lbsX5
    I find these feel better on my shoulder than spider curls so I performed them instead.

    I've decided to have a deload week since that is how I've been doing it. Deload after my heaviest week. So, I'll be deloading when I lift on Sun, Mon, Tues. I'm def looking forward to my vacation. I'll be away for 16 days and wont train for 18-19 days which means plenty of rest for my shoulder. That should make all the difference in the world. I'm still going get it set up so I can get it looked at when I come back.

    I changed my mind and I didn't train this week at all. I think that will help my shoulder greatly. It looks like we'll be coming back early from our vacation so I'm glad I took this week off.
