Feeling better than I have in about 8 months. Thanks for asking. Still have bad days with my neck but usually later in the evening. Seeing how going overhead is going to play out. So far not to bad. Still struggling to dip in my right side. Loss of a lot of strength so it’ll be a long road back.

A. 125/135/145/155(1)– not at rxd percentages but better than last week.
B. 25#, left arm weaker by far
C. 10:28, bmu took the bulk of the time. Ok until last 5, then failed 3. Trying to do 2/3’s but single would likely be faster, less rest maybe. Still a bit better than last week. Also used 25#, knee was good so can probably increase to 35#.

still recovering from a double tear in the labrum. Doc says it will take ‘a long time’ to recover fully. Still get slight pain every day, and high volume punishes it. Getting better slowly though.

Oh, I understand. You’ll recover from it quickly…just be patient and try not to rush your recovery. Have you tried Crossover Symmetry?

yeah, I do a bit of that. However, too much volume really punishes me. So doing twice a week for 2-3 rounds along with some windmills and TGU on other days.

Still feeling strained in the back cavity. Felt it around 155 on the ps+sn tonight (day +1) and kind of faded as it got heavier. Still there though. The day of rest Thurs should help but FS x2 at those percentages were rough for me. I need lower my maxes by 20% per year. 🙂

Sometimes you have to laugh… A: 172 / 185 / 197 / 207 (pounds!) B: 15kg for first two sets then 20kgs. C: Here is where I have to laugh! I thought it said 100 lunges cos it was quickly looking at my phone. I thought “WHAT!” But pulled out 5×8 lunges at 20kg. I am guessing it is two dumbbells? I probably could have done a 100ft in two blocks. Did 15 single BMU. That is the most BMU I have ever done ever. I will put in another EVER for emphasis. D. Delighted with the fact I did… Read more »
