Pre workout

I do enjoy a burger at most times of the day but I've never been one to stomach much pre workout.

My shoulder is still fucked but I can EZ floor press with no pain so I'm happy with that for the moment. 85 x 5 x 5

Triceps and arms.

Update needed bolski. Hows your training going?

[Fury]

Took a week off cause my shoulder was causing too much pain for both squat and bench. I've made a return to close grip which is pain free. I'm also front squatting in place of back squats to avoid the terrible shoulder pain I was getting.

Also, I'm going on an 8 week cut starting today. Programming wise, I'm doing reverse periodization. Starting heavy and dropping weight while increasing reps over the 8 weeks as recommended by the great Marty Gallagher. However, I'll progress front squat linearly as I don't have experience with it.

Today's session:
Front squat 140 x 1. Form looked okay on video for warm ups. Lost balance on heavy single.
DL: 220 x 1. PR. First 5 plate milestone and it came out of nowhere.

Must pay respects to the great JoeForklift aka PR generator.

You're the man bro!

So here I am, once again
With some added weight, but not as I was, back then
A beaten finalist, I've returned once more
But now, those fears of the past, I've left at the door

Mental barriers, this is just another
Loss in weight I aspire, but that in strength, I need not bother
I wont fight the drowned, while at my feet they claw,
This time I'll just ride a wave gently, as I'm carried back to shore.

I've just joined the rest of the world living in 2013 and got myself an Internet connection.

CG: 92.5 x 2 x 5, 85 x 5
HBBS: 142.5 x 5, 160 x 5, 150 x 5. A little heavy but not bad considering I pretty much never squat high bar. Feels like it's all quads.
DL: 180 x 5

Shoulder feeling a little better.
Lost a little off my waist too.

Hows the cut going bro?

[Fury]

Not too much has happened the last few weeks. My shoulder is still no good (physio apt Monday) and I've got a slight groin strain so no squatting. Also, I've given up the cut for now as I can't lift properly and it's a real double whammy that I don't need. So all in all, until my groin and or shoulder is better it's gonna be three day a week training all about dead lifts back and arm work.

I pulled 165 x 3 x 5 yesterday and the next 5 weeks is gonna look like this: 175 (20 total reps) 185 (15 total reps) 195 (10 total reps) 205 220 x 2

I cab press with dumbells using a hammer grip. Started my rehab yesterday. Sets of 25 reps. Time to fix this shoulder.

[Fury]

No fixing of shoulder has occurred via rehab. No improvement in shoulder. Low to moderate subscap tear and some other shit going on. Might be time to see a specialist and actually come up with a rehab program.

Deadlift: 190 x 5 x 2

Calves. Yep calves! Fuck they are sore today.
