    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.

    How did your hurt your collar bone/shoulder?

    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.

    Deloaded or not, that's a lot of volume. Great job.

    Thanks.

    Meant to be increasing by another 11 pounds next week but will repeat Thursday's and Friday's program on Monday Tuesday, before increasing load again.

    Today's workout
    Squats: 247.5 lbs (112.5kg), 3 sets of 5 (Deloaded)
    Dumbell lunges: 110 lbs (50kg), 2 sets of 30
    Bench Program: 198 lbs (90kg), 8 sets of 4 (deloaded)
    OHP: 138.6 lbs (63kg), 4 (Deloaded)

    Lat pulldowns: 200lbs, 3 sets of 5

    Finally back into PR territory for deadlift. It's "only" taken 6 months to recover from the back injury.

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