    NOTES:
    First time using a Buffalo bar in years. I made the purchase about 2 weeks ago. Been waiting to incorporate it. I didn't want to push it first time using it. 315lb for a single was about a RPE 9. I could have gone up to 325 but thought better of it.

    These sucked. Every since my left shoulder surgery that failed I struggle doing these. This is the first attempt since 2016. Since the surgery I've been using the smith machine

    BW X 15, 10 , 5

    15 reps to failure, rest 15, 10 reps to failure, rest 15, last set 5 reps.
    the second and third sets must equal the first set if doing this correctly.

    Note:
    next week start wave 4 using combination of weight releasers and bands together. The set will be:
    week 1 90% total- bar 45% of 1rm + 25% bands + 30% weight releasers
    week 2 95% total - bar 50% + 25% bands + 30% weight releasers
    week 3 100% total - bar 55% + 25% band + 30% weight releasers

    Format - first rep 10 second eccentric followed immediately with 3 speed reps = 1 set x 9 sets
