Don’t need no set backs here. This is one of those times where you have to be smart about stuff. Once I’m 100% I can do something stupid, but not now. :)

No BB row today. Bending over and holding that position with weight on the bar wasn’t in the cards yet. Still having range f motion issues that are probably worse because I’m working. I was doing better before I went back.
295x3
315x3

Stopped. Right upper outer pec pain, not horrible. Same spot as last summer. Goal is NOT be injured anymore. Dropped to 295 and the feeling was there, not pain though so I just stopped. Same deal for close grips.

Shifted focus to tri’s and things flowed better. Due to my schedule I probably won’t train til tues so hopefully my pec will be better. No pain right now. It seemed minor.

Just thought I’d toss in my current supplement game.
AM shake
2 scoops of whey, a teaspoon of psyllium husk and creatine.
PAK
Fish oil
Vitamin D
Turmeric
Fenugreek
I do a shake with FLEX powder and a scoop of whey sometime in the day
Universal Beef Amino tabs when I feel it. I usually throw down 6 tabs a couple times a day in between meals
Pre, I do 2 scoops of Animal Fury only on days I want to really kill it, like 1+ 5/3/1 week
Intra, Gator Aide powder+ Juiced Aminos+ creatine
Post, I’ve gotten better at getting a meal in
Bed time I do another fenugreek tab and Universal ZMA
At work I have a meal replacement bar between the AM shake and lunch. Can’t wait to get some Animal Snak bars.
Of course there’s food too. Usually have a bagel or banana with the AM shake. I usually eat 4x a day and have the 2 shakes. 3x a day when I work, hence the meal replacement bar in place of the 4th meal.
Edit: I usually run STAK but that’s on hold due to my knee

Last rep of 350 was ugly. Left lower back cramped because I was trying to get some leg drive going but my left knee isn’t there yet. Ended up twisting some. On the last set some jack ass squeezed between my bar and the machine next to me as I was into the set. Yep, I went off. He didn’t even apologize. I guess it’s all about him even though I’m the one moving 295 over my neck. All he cared about was that he had room. Why are people so dumb?

So I misloaded my first working set of OHP. Did a nice easy controlled 5 reps to my collarbone so I just rolled with it and did 3 sets of 5. 175 was supposed to be my top set. Guess I was a little eager to get there.

Still a bit run down but I planned for it today. Kept reps to minimum and didn’t get crazy. Successful day and got a good pump without getting injured.

I need to start including some kind of posterior chain work. I was wanting to play with squats in the smith machine but it’s been broke. I need to start my own rehab. Physical therapy is BS anymore and not doing it for me.
