SHoulder definitely felt great today - its aching now a bit and no wonder after all the activity and rehab i have been doing today. getting there! Milsy, yoke would be NAILED if i had more frequent access to it Cant make it next sat, so has to wait the weekend after. Hope i can nail it a bit more than today. Even if just running few 40s with 160 it must be useful eh? Or 200... Worry not Wigan - once i can do proper lifts again, i will embark on another infamous BULK OF DOOM and put on another 10kg. This time hopefully not much fat along the way. | ||

Still hate the smith machine but at least I can get some squatting motion in. Will probably do a few sets every session now. Today, as good of a session as i can have at the mo with just one arm. SUGDEN Db snatch 10x15 6x22,5 6x30 3x35 3x40 3x42.5 started getting a bit iffy with the 42.5, i think that must be my max, maybe might nail 45 on a good day. Smith machine squats 6x40 6x70 5x90 5x100 Due to the BPC depth on saturday with hip belt squats, went as deep with these as the wide stance allowed, few inches below parallel. Suprisingly hard though, must have just lost the groove and strength with squats, but i think it also feels harder without one arm to grab the bar and balance it. Its a keeper though, one of the best things i can do at the moment. Hammer strength leg press 6x180 6x6x230 next week 5x5x240. leg curls 2x12xstack Also decided that next time i go to The Dungeon (next week) I will just do yoke instead of hip belt squats. at least 5 but hopefully more 40m runs with 160-200 should be bagged. Why not. | ||

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Nice squatting mate and nioce plan. How do you go about holding the bar for squats mate, have you got that flexibility and use back in your shoulder now? Will fronties be nailed shortly, or is it too much direct weight on the shoulder? | ||

The Hope is that i can start doing them in 3ish weeks time. Fingers crossed. The surgeon will have the final say, seeing him on 11th of Dec. If i get the go ahead, i will be front squatting 3+ times/week. It will all be piss light like, starting from 20kg and slowly climbing up, but at least it would be something! | ||

Hope so - they feel too hard for anything resembling a back squat! 30 mins bike nailing | ||

REHAB UPDATE Band work has been progressing well, though i do get aches and pains in the injury area. I guess thats normal. Today physio gave green light to VERY LIGHT weight work, including overhead. This was promptly celebrated by three sets of 20 reps of one (1 )f**king kg press believe it or not, but the shoulder got really tired from that lol!need to keep it light for two weeks when i meet the surgeon next and should get a go ahead for more light work, including some barbell stuff like very light deadlifts and front squats (heres me hoping). Bodyweight 105kg - at least the bodyweight stopped... Probably due to not much cardio this week which was a conscious decision because the running was making the pec achy. SUGDEN quick one today. few sets of DB jerks, up to 4x37.5 which was balls. 3 sets of machine press smith machine squats 6x60 5x80 8x100 Will keep up the low volume but just do them every time i go to the gym. machine back extension 100x100kg one set of CURLS | ||
