Week2 - Day4B

Squats:  5xBar + 5×5×60
Incline Press:  5x55
Deadlift:  5×105

Got in and out of the gym in an hour of getting there (including the shower and getting dressed up!)  I can't spend too much time out since I have to get back to work, but a solid hour of leaving and getting back to work including the driving to and from, is pretty awesome.  It took me roughly 5 minutes between each core lift.  I was resting maybe...15 seconds to 20 seconds the most between reps, so they were going by fast!

So in place of the overhead pressing movement, I decided to sub in the incline presses until I feel that I'm ready to get back to full on overhead pressing which probably won't be for another month or two.  I will supplement the incline press with more upright seated rows and incline dumbbell presses, just so I can hit the shoulders still without going crazy.  I may also sprinkle in some heavy dumbbell rows for more upper back work.

I have to get my camera and start recording myself again.  I would really like to see where my form's at with the lifts.  As of now, I'm doing a very wide with-thumb grip with the squat.  I'm also using high bar at the moment because the torque strain put on my shoulder using low bar is just giving me a really bad sharp pain inside my shoulder.

Week1 - Day3A

Squats:  5x5x55 Bench:  5x5x45 Rows:  5x65

Somewhat unexciting, but we're moving.  Slowly perhaps, but all in good time.  Did the regular band stretch work before and after the workout.  Also did some seated upright rowing on the machines to speed up strengthening the upper back.  Also did some leg swings and static squat stretches to wake up the legs.

Week1 - Day2B

Squats:  5×5x50 Incline DB Press:  3x20x20 Tricep Pushdown:  3x15x40 Preacher Curls:  2x10x25 + 8x35 Deadlift:  5x95

Not a bad day.  I took a bit longer today because...I didn't prepare and had no clue at all what to do in place of overhead presses.  Warmed up with some leg swings and static squat stretches.  I also did some band work for the right shoulder:  band pull-downs (blue), external lateral rotation (blue), internal lateral rotation (blue), rear deltoid raise (green).  I'll have to do some research and figure out a circuit of band shoulder exercises I can do, probably before I head for the gym.  In addition, I will should probably look for some specific weighted shoulder exercises to strengthen the shoulder a bit more.
