Week 27
Today's workout
Squats: 242 lbs (110kg), 3 sets of 5 (Deloaded)
OHP: 138.6 lbs (63kg), 3, 3 (Deloaded)
Deadlift: 291.5 lbs (132.5kg), 5 reps (Deloaded)
Lat pulldowns: 200lbs, 3 sets of 5
Seated Rows: 200lbs, 2 sets of 8
Strength has gone backwards on OHP, but I guess the shoulder injury is a major contributing factor.
Happy that squat and deadlift are still going up without reinjuring my back.
Just need my shoulder to bloody hurry up and heal.

I was doing things I shouldn't have.
I started doing static bench heavy holds. I first noticed a small amount of pain when I lifted 308 lbs (140 kg), but it wasn't bad. I thought it would be alright so I kept doing them.
I got up to 374 lbs (170kg) and the pain got worse so I stopped, but the pain didn't go away.
Then I started doing olympic weightlifting and the pain got a lot worse but I thought it was caused due to stretching as my right shoulder was also in a lot of pain. The right shoulder came good but the left shoulder was still bad.
It wasn't until I got the MRI back that I knew it was definitely from doing those bench heavy holds.
The pain is there all the time like a toothache that never goes away, not bad enough to stop me from lifting altogether, just enough to mess with my mind and piss me off.
I need to be careful I don't make it worse though.

Redid last Thursday's bench program. Just being conservative to protect my shoulder from further injury.
