    12-3-20 Thursday

    I almost put this off to another day feeling sleepy but you just never know how it will go...I did not feel like 3x5 so I mixed it up and did more poundage wise than 155x5x3 which was the next weight in progression. I actually felt good after this workout instead of ass kicked like I normally do. Next workout 160x5x3.

    Squats :
    bar-5
    70-5
    120-3
    155-3
    160-3 *
    160-5 *
    155-5

    Do you have your own rack or go to a gym?

    I have my own rack and was able to suspend the bar with straps to do this.

    https://startingstrength.com/video/shoulder_rehab

    I injured my shoulders a couple times and rehabbed very successfully with this.

    I continue to do the arc motion in the video with my press workouts.
    I didn't think I'd ever press again.

    I'm 66 and press once a week, and bench once a week.

    I use motorcycle straps to suspend the bar, I duct taped the hooks together.
    I run a classy outfit.

    I actually do my press with arcs first to loosen up my shoulders for the Squat. YMMV.

    Rip's video is long-ish but he explains quite a bit. It is really good stuff.
    It may take some time, but you'll be able to track your improvements in range of motion, and slowly roll in strength work.
    At least that has been my experience. I do it now as a precaution, and have not had a bad shoulder injury limitation since.

    I have my own rack and workout at home. I will have to check out that video. I am glad that it helped you!

    I agree with Cheesepuff on the shoulder fix. It helped me few years ago

    We all have days like that. I often find the second work set is my best. Maybe I should learn something from that like 2 work set and a back off .

    Too long between workouts...life B.S. 5 days are too much between workouts. 2 or 3 days are probably optimal.

    Squats seem to have reached a sticking point with 3x5's. Form keeps getting looser. Things were going well until I got the ear infection and started the antibiotics. After that things were very inconsistent. I probably need to do the first reset on the squats and keep consistent workouts on the planned days.
