    Myron everything in this thread Drew.

    Was hoping for some feedback here if you can please.

    1. Right shoulder. Bicep tendon is inflamed. Mostly because of tight lat/pec major(minor). I really don't think it's a tater cuff issue because I have full mobility and when I stretch myself out the pain subsides. I usually grab onto a shelf and pull
    back and down to stretch my lats and then use a door frame to stretch the pecs.

    2. How much better or different is the football bar or swiss bar really? Would it transfer over to a big straight bar bench?

    Best to date is feet up and crossed with 6x4 of 185lbs on straight bar bench with my OB86B.

    Hey IronKrazy - I'll give you a few opinions on that.

    1. I feel you on the shoulder problems. I used to have them so bad I remember not being able to take off my hoodie one time, literally. My shoulders were in constant pain. This was like 7-8 years ago. I did two major things that helped tremendously.

    a. I stopped doing heavy strict overhead presses. I still do them sometimes (seated, not standing), but mostly volume type stuff. Never really above 90% ish. This helped a lot. I know a lot of people swear by them, and I had good form. But they weren't right for me.

    b. I started doing a lot of pull aparts, face pulls, dislocates, etc. as a warmup for every workout, and even on off days. I do some rear delt/scapula type stuff every single day.

    As far as the football bar, there are two camps. one is the specificity camp who says you need to practice how you play. The other camp says lift heavy stuff as safely as possible and get stronger. I'm in the latter group. Use the football bar IMO. Even though my shoulders are way better than they used to be from all of the rear delt work, they still feel tender after straight bar pressing. But they feel like a million dollars the morning after using the football bar.

    Thursday Extra Workout

    Wide Grip Pulldowns 3x10
    Pulldown Abs 3x10
    Back Raise 3x10 (with blue Rogue band)
    GHR Negatives 3x5

    Probably taking tonight off. This may be the first time I haven't at least had an extra workout since the quarantine started.

    My back and hips were just a little overly sore on Dynamic Effort day Wednesday, so I'm going to give myself today to recover. Maybe I'll go out and do some band stretching for my hips and low back.

    Sorry for coming back late here. But thank you Drew. I generally, like 9/10 start with my red band before bench as you described in part b. Although I don't stretch my lats, pecs or anything else after each session until it's too late unfortunately. TBH I've been mulling over what happened and I think I know now. Here is a video I found and I really believe this is what happened. Especially because I go so deep on bench for that "chest work". Which is BS and I need to stop. I also do it because I want to feel like I earned that session and/or milestone with a certain weight and it feels like I cheat if I don't touch my chest.

    So what happened? Internal rotation from going too low or very low. Especially when I did that 6x4 of 185lbs and my feet up. Wasn't retracted properly I'm sure and then going too deep. Also a lot of my upper body just got overworked and I locked up like a deadbody in rigor. I dug into my triceps, upper lats/traps, pecs etc and I feel about 90-95% today. So I'm going to lay off, rehab and com back smarter. I hope.

    And yes, when stuff comes back in stock from all the idiots buying chit up, I most likely will treat myself to some type of neutral grip bar. Thanks bro.

    Yeah I feel like I'm starting to get somewhere.

    And yeah it's been fun working with the kids.

    I saw you started deadlifting and squatting again after a back injury. How's it feeling today?

    It's coming around. This is the worst my back has been since early in my career. It was really odd how it happened and it lingered for about 5 weeks. I have also lost weight, not that you can tell but, significant since worlds. So, I'm not feeling very strong and I'm pretty distracted with getting this building done before I get furloughed so, there has been no down time in the last few months.

    Really bummed about my top deadlift set. After that first rep with 450, I was 100% sure I’d be able to get 6-8 reps. Then during that 3rd rep I felt something unfamiliar and painful in my right hamstring. I was too afraid to keep going.

    Sucks getting old.

    Warmup -
    Hamstring/Low Back/IT Band stretching 5-10 minutes
    Side Raise 3x12
    Hammer Curl 3x15
    Pull Apart 3x15

    Pendlay Rows -
    Jeremy
    135x3
    185x3
    245x3

    Deadlift -
    315x2
    395x1
    450x3 (hamstring pain - forced to stop at 3)

    Back Raise (blue Rogue band around neck) -
    x15
    x15
    x15

    I don’t recall ever having a hamstring issue in 25 years of lifting weights. I’m hoping it’s just a minor thing and I’ll be able to get back to normal next week. But right now I have a left pec and a right hamstring giving me problems. It sucks to because I’m making so much progress. I guess I was destined to have a setback when things are moving this fast.

    Thursday Bench/Friday Squat

    Rather than do further damage to my hamstring, I took it really easy last night, and just squatted everything that my son did.

    I’m hoping by next week things will be back to normal and I can get back on track. The pack is another issue. That might be a few weeks.

    Thursday

    Bench Press
    45x15
    95x10
    135x5
    185x5
    205x3
    245x1
    270x4

    I probably could have gotten 8 or more, but my left pec popped and started swelling. I’ve been through this a dozen times before. Now I’m just going to go light for a couple of weeks and let it heal up.

    Cable Pressdowns
    45x15
    65x15
    65x15

    Cable Overhead Extensions
    65x15
    65x15
    64x15

    Friday

    Squat
    45x5
    95x5
    135x5
    165x3
    200x3
    220x3

    Pause Squat
    170x2
    170x2
    170x2

    SSB Good AM
    61x20

    I didn’t feel any pain in the hamstring, but I just wanted to learn my lesson from Thursday and not make things worse.

    Saturday Night Extra Workout (End Wave 1 Week 2)

    Band Traction/Stretching (low back/hamstring/IT Band) 10-15 min.

    Cable Pressdowns 3x25/15/15
    Cable Face Pulls 3x15
    Blue Rogue Band Hammer Curls 3x15
    Cable Overhead Triceps Extensions 3x20
    Red Rogue Band Chest Flye(ish) 3x20

    Pretty good chance I'll be relegated to just assistance work this week for upper body due to this pec issue, and who knows, maybe lower body exercises as well depending on how this hamstring reacts.

    Wave 1 Week 3 Deadlift (Tuesday)

    Warmup
    Band traction (hamstring/low back IT band)
    Hammer Curl 3x15
    Pull Apart 3x15

    Pendlay Rows
    155x3
    205x3
    265x3

    Deadlift
    315x1

    Still something wrong with my right hamstring, so I just went back to more rows. Deload next week, so hopefully in these next two weeks, my left pec and right hamstring will be back to normal and I can get back to business.

    More Pendlay Rows
    265x3
    265x3

    Seated Rows (high seat - so sort of a hybrid of row and upright row)
    5x10 @ 112.5 lb.
