Pulled today

Deadlifts
5 x 3 x 155kg
I packed all my singles into 3-rep sets. All done without a belt too. Form was all pretty good.

Squats
3 x 100kg
3 x 140kg
3 x 3 x 160kg
All rawdog as well. Still uncomfortable to set up but if I can still manage it at this weight as long as I keep the reps low. I'm going set up a program for my squats were I keep the reps low and make very small increases in the weight. I can't quite lock my lats properly due to my shoulders so I'm keeping the bar low and resting it on my rear delts for better stability.

Cheers mate. I had to laugh though because I was repping 170kg for 9 only a couple of months ago.

Stupid shoulder.

What was there before isn't really lost, you'll be back at your old numbers soon enough for sure!

Just a quick sesh today.

Floor Press
Worked up to 3 x 5 x 100kg
I decided to remind my body what pressing felt like. It was a little uncomfortable but not to bad.

Pullups
50 reps.

No, but I was meant to be :D

Shoulder is no better, floor presses are just easier on it due to less rotation.

Deads again...

Deadlifts
5 x 2 x 180kg
Packed my 10 singles into 5 sets to save time as I was lifting with my training partner. He's off to Mongolia for 3 weeks tomorrow so I will be doing the rest of the program as proper singles. Form was good, lifts weren't too difficult. All rawdog again. I'm kind of enjoying lifting without a belt at the moment.

Bent Rows
10 x 80kg
8 x 100kg
7 x 100kg
5 x 100kg

Superset
A1. Barbell Curls
5 x 40kg
5 x 50kg
4 x 60kg
3 x 60kg
10 x 40kg

-SS-

A2. OH Tri Extensions w/ plate
5 x 15 x 20kg

Soul-draining Complex
10 weighted step-ups/10 fatman pullups/10 incline tri pushups/10 hanging leg raises/15 pushups/5 pullups/10 squat jumps
3 sets
I could have done a 4th but I really, really didn't want to.

Got home and did an arse-load of stretching.
