Squats-(bwt 323.8) Going into todays workout I have some concern about how my left shoulder would hold up. After Fridays bench workout the shoulder got real sore around the base of my neck. I guess I pulled something two weeks ago rushing through my shrugs. I had a lot of discomfort during my first 4 sets of squats and then it went away. But overall the squats and Deads went well. I have been going at it hard for about four months so I will be taking a road trip to PA. I will be lifting in the 2007 USA Powerlifting Garage Ink Invitational (Nov 3) just as a test day. This will give me enough time to load back up for the Arnold Sports Festival on Feb. 29, 2008.
Sit up 70
Raw (just a belt & Knee Sleeves) The 460 is a PR for my work sets in the gym
275x10 I will be moving this set up to 315lbs
365x8 this will move to 405llbs
460x5
460x5
460x5
460x5
The heavy single was taken out today because of the shoulder....
Add 5lbs on next squat day 10-14-07
Deads I figured the deads would do a number on my shoulder but it came through for me.
505x5
600x1
600x2
650x1
PS My lifting partner Ron Beuch hit a sweet 375lb for a single today. He is a strong old fart.

I may hit the Garage Ink myself depending the start time to the UVA Wake Forest game. If it is a night game I could make it time to bench and come back for the game.
Good luck in training.

Jim,
What are you doing for your shoulder in terms of therapy? I used to have problems with my left shoulder and I used ointments before I would lift. They would warm it up! (A good friend at RAW recommends Icy Hot and Mt. Dew!) Also, I spent more time working my lats and rear delts and less on my front. It seems to have worked because I haven't had no where near the pain I once had.
You might consider using a loose bench shirt for a few weeks too. I know to most raw lifters, this sounds like blasphemy. But it can be therapeutic too.
Good luck at Garage Ink! Niko and his folks are really great people!!! If I can, I'll be there too to watch the lifting.
Jim

Jim,
The only time the shoulder gives a problem is when I get up under the bar to squat and the bench. It just the pushing backward on that shoulder. I've cut out my shoulder work to give it time. I think a few days off from lifting would fix it right up but thats not in the cards right now. I have also been doing ice for about 20 min. after each. That helps......Thanks for asking.................
