Hi!
Workouts look good. I'm loving your exercise selection - I see a couple that I haven't done in awhile and a few that I've never tried, but now plan too.
Hope your shoulder starts feeling better. (Rehab, rehab and more rehab) good decision to not train too much, it should feel better soon.

Hey! I'm glad you got some ideas from the selection, I try to rotate through the excercises a bit not to get too bored with any of them (I've been on this split for almost a year now and honestly, sometimes it gets old and I need to mix it up a bit).

Squatting was just ok today. I had to get my training done first thing in the morning which always sucks and it didn't feel like I was warmed up enough. My joints were stiff and my form felt a bit wonky at times. Didn't feel smooth at all. I've noticed tho that my warmup sets are always better when I do them without any safties since I'm able to get into a real ATG position and get a really nice bounce at the bottom. When I actually work up to heavy sets and put the safeties on they are set so that when I am prectically touching them in my bottom position, I literally just break paralell. I could get lower and I actually have to break the movement, which feels unnatural? It's kind of unexpected I guess, since squatting higher is suppose to be easier but I actually find it much harder. I can't lower the safeties more, cause then they're just too low but maybe I need to find someone to spot me and try to go as low as possible next time. Other than that, I felt a bit rushed so no fancy stuff and def no cardio.My own little corner of BB.com http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150632443

Looks like the push press was the way to go. Getting quite strong there.
I have the similar issues with squatting. Sometimes I'll hit the bounce too hard though and stall/slow down too much on the rise. It's difficult to get each rep to be alike. I like your idea of warming up with safety bars lower. You might feel safe enough to do it up to 60 or 70kg.http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172554141

^ Yeah, I actually feel that push press was the right choice, at least for a while. I am really enjoying some explosive overhead pressing right now and I also feel like my back gets to be more involved, I never quite manage to activate it that well on regular OHPs. I did go up to 70kg on squats without the safeties today and it felt safe enough, might be able to go heavier but I will definitely try to find someone who can spot just in case. The thought of getting stuck in the hole seriously terrifies me!
So yesterday was supposed to be deadlift day but it ended up being just shoveling snow day. So was today, though I decided to hit the gym regardless. And tomorrow will be a shoveling day too. I think I'm over this winter thing already.

Deadlifts were all over the place today. I already finished my heavy sets and was b*tching about how it felt heavy and then someone offered me to try this oxygen booster thing (that comes in a pump? never seen anything like it before) and I tried it just for kicks. Well either it was all placebo or it actually did help a bit because I actually managed to get some more solid deadlifting done. Either way, I'm not complaining. It got me thinking I might need to start doing more warm-up sets/reps, maybe it was just a matter of getting properly warmed up? I also managed to keep my form better today. Kept dropping my ass lower on all reps which really made a difference. All in all a good session.My own little corner of BB.com http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150632443

Yesterday was bench day and although my shoulder felt a million times better I didn't go too heavy, the reps were very controlled and not forced and I decided to do less pressing than I normally would. It felt the most sensitive as I was doing my rotator cuff warmup so I'm really hoping it's not that since I've been doing a lot of warmups for it on both my upper days this year.

Yesterday was good if a bit rushed again. I managed to get through my warmup (including 80kg) ATG without safeties and it felt good but anything above thah would be pushing it. I also finally feel squats in my hams and glutes a lot more. I used to get the worst doms in my quads yet felt like I didn't engage my glutes at all. I am still a lot stronger in my quads but at least I can see my hams+glutes slowly catching up. Oh and I'm struggling on the leg extensions quite a bit lately as I'm going heavier on them because I have a hard time staying seated. I can't get a good grip of the handles on the machine so I have to hold myself onto the seat but it's still lifting me up a bit. I don't think I'll be able to add any more weight unless I can find a way to strap myself down somehow lolMy own little corner of BB.com http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150632443

Haha I have the same problem on the leg extension/curl machine. My bum just doesn't want to stick to the seat! I find that locking my arms out and pushing against the pad that sits on top of your thighs helps.. still not completely right though!
Squats are looking damn strong in here

^ The machine at our gym doesn't even have the pad that sits on your thighs, just the one at your ankles, so annoying! And if I reach down for the handles I end up looking like a hunchback in labor all through my sets haha.
I've decided to take two extra days off this week, just because. I haven't taken any real time off since June basically and I don't really do deloads because I always want to go balls to the walls in the gym so anything in the 50-60% range just seems like a waste of time. I need to work on my attitude, I know Will be back hitting the weights on Thursday. Today I went back to my favorite at-home workout to get the blood pumping. I rarely do any high intensity cardio but this feels right up my alley.

Lou1se, thanks! And you're right, life gets so much more fun after you step over your own boundaries
Tina, the oly lifting didn't happen because I got called into work so I had to pass on it. I really want to add in some of it. I like the idea of incorporating some more dynamic movements but I've been holding back because I really want someone to teach me proper form first. I didn't have anyone show me the big lifts when I first started and I could probably have progressed way better if I knew exactly what I was doing. I could try and learn the lifts by myself but knowing myself I'd definitely want to go heavy soon and I don't want to get injured. The plan was to go to an oly lifting gym specifically and I'm keeping it on the agenda. A friend was gonna help me get started but I'll have to wait until he's back in town, which might be a while, but nbd.

I've been having constant digestive issues, stomach pains, mild fever, chills, low energy. I am still waiting on a bunch of tests before I will know exactly what it is that I have, but going by what my dr tells me, it might be some sort of colitis. Yeah, not a lot of fun. It hasn't been extremely horrible (which makes me hopeful it's in fact not that serious) but it's definitely put a damper on my gym endeavors, to say the least. However, on the bright side, today I finally felt like myself again, no pains and loads of energy, which made it pretty damn specialMy own little corner of BB.com http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150632443

I had to use a different bar for squats tonight cause the gym was crowded and I didn't feel like hunting for an oly bar. I didn't think it would make much of a difference because the plates weren't rotating as usually (the bar didn't have bearings, if that's the proper term anyway?) but it ended up annoying me like nobody's business. The weight distribution/leverages just felt different and the bar kept either rolling on my back or pushing onto my neck. I was not amused lol. I still managed to hit a PR on squats but I'm convinced I could have gone heavier if I had the usual bar. I also wasn't thrilled with my form on 97,5kg since I felt my knees caving in a bit, which I haven't felt in a really long time. I'm going to try and hit the same weight again soon, with the usual bar and see if it makes any difference since tonight didn't feel comfortable at all.

Unfortunately I've had zero news from my doc, Kelly It's ridiculous really. I have to wait until 4th April for an ultrasound. The health system here is seriously f*ed up and the waiting times are out of this world crazy. To be completely honest, I try not to dwell on it too much but it has been giving me major anxiety. I know I should stay away from google but anytime I look up my symptoms I freak out some more. The gym is the only thing that helps me take some edge off actually, so I am still plowing along. I never feel worse after the gym either, if I felt like it was taking too much of a toll on me, I'd definitely take time off completely. I am really really hoping I get some answers soon.

Nothing new on the training front. I was suppose to have my deadlift day yesterday but ended up at the doctor's office again. I have a bladder infection that is giving me nasty pains and I'm taking antibiotics. I also woke up with a toothache today and it's not getting any better. For the time being, lifting will have to be put on hold. Crossing my fingers I'm back in the gym hitting the weights soon.

Thanks Kelly! I am feeling better already, the meds are definitely helping
Now that I've finally had some (albeit unwanted) free time on my hands due to not training, I've managed to look into my nutrition. My calculated maintenance is suppose to be somewhere between 2100-2200 although that still seems a bit high to me, since I'm generally very sedentary outside of the gym. I am going to start a slow cut while keeping my cals as high as possible to make sure I can still make progress on my lifts. I'm not going to be hung up on any fast changes in my BF level, slow and steady will be more than fine at this point and I am in no hurry since there is no end date I'm targeting. I will start out with 1800 cals while making sure I get 150g of protein a day. I still need to figure out what carb and fat ratio feels best, so there will be some experimenting for sure. I don't intend on being too rigid with my food selection but the goal is to eliminate junk as much as possible. Obviously I'll make room for a treat here and there but not too regularly. I have no intention of turning this into a fat loss log, my main goal is still gaining strength, but I'll try to include stats on a regular basis. If I can get someone to help me out I'll take some benchmark pics as well (is it just me or is it crazy hard to take pictures of yourself, especially wannabe flexing? lol).
Re: Training
I might head back to the gym over the weekend. Depending on how I feel ofcourse but I'm feeling pretty good alreadyMy own little corner of BB.com http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150632443

Glad your feeling better
^^ sounds like you got a plan there!!
I am on 1800 Cals at the moment too, my breakdown is 152p/170c/60f which is working well for me will be interested to see what you experiment with and find what works !
Ha, taking pictures on your own sounds like a challenge!
Forgive me if you have said already in the past, but would you ever consider competing in anything? Is it a route you would want to go down ? Just curious ..."Be true to the best you know. This is your high ideal. If you do your best, you cannot do more."

Kept the weight on the lower end of heavy today. It didn't feel too bad but there's no point in going crazy as soon as I'm back. Plus I don't want to be limping around tomorrow. Considering how everything feels a hell of alot heavier after being away for a while, today was pretty decent. Didn't feel too weak at all but I kept my rest periods longer on purpose too, which must have helped as well.My own little corner of BB.com http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150632443

Ideally I'd like to compete in PL someday but I not sure when that's actually going to happen. There really aren't many meets around here. I was actually planning on entering one that's being held next weekend but with all the health issues I am passing on competing for now. Some days I feel fine but others I feels like crap so I'd rather not come in just to feel like a failure. Also, I keep thinking I'm just not strong enough yet. As far as stepping on stage goes, I don't think that's ever going to happen for me. Not that I wouldn't want to but I simply feel like I could not handle the preassure of being so strict. I really enjoy training and making progress, both performance wise and in terms of physical changes which is why I don't want to end up feeling like it's a chore or something I don't really enjoy anymore. Never say never of course but I doubt I will ever go down that road I have been lifting for a long enough period that I have built a good muscle base so the goal of cutting is simply trying to remove enough BF% that I can finally see what I've been working on all this time. Which is exciting for me as I've never really been all that leanMy own little corner of BB.com http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150632443

So it's finally here. My 100kg squat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8RHp57wIGU
It wasn't even supposed to be a squat day but I was training at a different gym tonight and decided to just go for it, fueled by some cheering, obviously. I was sore from last session's deadlifts and didn't think I could pull it off but I needed to at least try. Not having safeties, I was scared as hell. Maybe that helped a bit Oh, and after the lift I was so happy I honestly don't even remember half of what I did after that. Some deadlifts and some benching. Back to the program in a day or two, right now it's time for cardio aka a victory danceMy own little corner of BB.com http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150632443
