Reply With QuoteWhen you walk into a place called "Old Skool Iron", you know what you are getting! First time using a competition bench--made the self-unrack easy (210x5x3). Got the rack pulls done as well (410x5). Great gym, great members!

Schedule is irregular at the moment. I want to get in the gym again tomorrow to rack pull, but I would ordinarily squat the day after, not the day before. As a compromise, I still squatted 325, which is new territory for me, but only for a double. Heavy, but fine.

Too bad that I'm unlikely to be back on that kind of bench setup anytime soon! We'll try to make do back at the regular gym.

Hoping to get back on track after recent irregular schedule. I had been trying to keep up intensity so that I didn't go backward, but press probably has for lack of sufficient practice.

Only two workouts in a week is not what I call getting "back on track." Did manage the rack pulls (415x5) and also the self-unrack bench (212x5x3) yesterday.

Pin press at 159x5, then I was going to squat. I worked up to the double at 335 that I planned (heavy, but fine), but then a pop on the second rep of the back-off sets at 290. Seems not too bad--rehab tomorrow.

Maybe a little discoloration. When it happened last time, it took a day or two to show bruising. Walking around and slept O.K. Today for rehab, first did overhead press, 145x3x2. Heavy but fine. Rehab squat:
45x20
70x20
95x20
Was going to do 85% deadlift, but really feeling a pull on the injury on the 315 warmup single, so left it there. More rehab tomorrow.

Project Self-unrack on the bench continues, went O.K. (214x5x3). Rehab squat:
45x20
75x20
105x20
Soreness doesn't seem too bad. Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be a big deal.

Not much rehabbing last week, but got back in the gym this weekend.
