DB BP, 15/15 30/12 40/11 8 8
Puldown V bar 100/10 130/6 5
That was it for today. Been getting a sharp pain when doing the pulldowns just below the elbow at the inner upper forearm.
I squatted on Monday,last squats two weeks before, I did DL last Monday. I have some case of muscle soreness even as I write this tonite. I think every other week squatting may be the problem. Doing the DL last week didn't to cause any thing like this.

Did the presses with DB as I am trying to rehab the shoulder, the left side is way weaker then the right, the reps I got were max with the left arm, probably could do double the reps with right arm.
I will use the barbell when I bench press later in the week.

The 200 lb safety bar squats for 4 were tough today, not sure if I could have gotten 5, but was only tying for 4
BP felt ok, no pain in shoulder so I will micro load next week.
Pulldowns felt tough, I sure used to get more reps a few years ago. My elbow is a problem,I am icing it now and going to take some ibuprofen . I may try DB rows next week to see if that lessens the elbow pain.

My left shoulder was a little painful yesterday,but the bp felt ok, it's surprising that when using the bar I don't feel the LS weakness like I do when using DB for the press.

Sunday 4/17/16
Lite SB sqt bar/10 95/6 135/5 160/5
One arm DB press 15/15 28.5/5 4 5 5
DL 115/15 135/5 185/5
225/6 225/8 with belt . I decided to do the DL with lighter weight and higher reps. I think I wil keep the weight at 225 and try increasing reps. I know this goes against the priciples of SS, but I feel increasing reps is what worked for me in the past.
