Deadlift 195kg 1x5 easy
Squat 160kg 3x5 last rep on third set just made
Overhead press 67kg struggled on last rep on all sets after 8mins rest between
Bench 96kg same as press with struggles.
Bit of history I used to box in amateurs and had to stop due to both shoulders having slap tears and two operations fixed them but they’re not the same as before and the weakness of cartilage not the muscles I think is what’s causing me to struggle on presses. I’ve been adding 2.5kg and I’m about to start using 1kg increases from tomorrow. Am I best using even lighter increases? Resetting 5-10% or am I being a pussy and just power through as much as I can? I don’t have a spotter as where I’m from there’s not many people who train let alone help with spotting! If be wasting any decent forum state apologies in advance
