Want to keep a log for accountability’s sake.
Been training for a couple years. Compete in powerlifting, 181 weight class.
I am a full time student, working on a pre-med degree. I am happily married to a beautiful woman, and life is good. Training has been a part of my life for a long time (in comparison to my lifespan) And I look to learn and become more efficient as I find programming methods that work well for me.
Will upload videos of near max lifts throughout the upcoming week, critiquing would be appreciated.
Best lifts:
505 Squat
335 Bench
520 Deadlift
Current Maxes:
455 Squat
335 Bench
520 Deadlift
I train 5 days a week, squatting twice, benching twice, and deadlifting once.
Today went like this (scheme is weightxrepsxsets)
Flat Bench: 245x2x12
Incline Bench: 185x8x4, 135x12x4
Neutral Grip DB press SS DB pullover: 40’sx20x5
Lots of face pulls.
Press felt strong, however my left shoulder (had a rotator cuff and labrum repair a few years ago) Tightens up on a regular basis after pressing. The pain starts high in my bicep, then slowly moves to my upper trap near my neck on the left side. Ideas for stretching, rehab/prehab would be awesome.
