2.9.2012 bodyweight: 229
bench press - 45x10x2 95x10 135x5 185x3 205x5 230x3 255x4 180x10x5
dumbbell row - 50x10 per arm 80x10x5
dumbbell scapula rotation - 5x10 10x12x3

On my heaviest set on the bench I lost control of the bar for a second and tweaked my shoulder. My form got sloppy, and I was able to fix it with it my back off sets so there wasn't any more damage done, but it's still fairly painful right now. Luckily next week is a deload, so it'll have some time to recover.

2.10.2012 bodyweight: 229
squat - 20x10x2 50x5x2 70x5x2 105x5 120x3 133x3 80x10

Woke up today and my shoulder was more painful than yesterday. There is now also pain shooting down into my wrist and the base of my hand. I had to squat with my hands wide out on the bar, as opposed to keeping them in, so I wasn't able to keep my back as tight. That coupled with a bad mood and no rest day between work outs this week made for a really shitty session today. I went to my chiropractor (my dad) and he said I most likely separated the muscle slightly. Not much I can do but ice it. Luckily next week is a deload week.

Here's a video of me deadlifting from the other day 214 kilos for 5 reps. 100% raw. No belt, straps, any of that stuff. Sorry it's a little blurry, I think there was some chalk over the lens.

You mean you're not really Konstantin Konstantinovs?

Last week was a deload week, so I didn't even bother posting what I did. Suffice it to say it was similar to any other week, just lower volume and much lighter. Going through the motions, for lack of a better term. My shoulder has gotten much better, but still definitely not 100%. I wasn't sure how it would be for today's work out, so I just played it by ear. I ended up being able to do everything I needed to do, rather than just going really light, but it's definitely sore now. Not painful, just sore and tight. Should be fine. Anyway:

2.20.2012 bodyweight: 230
standing military press - 20kgx10x2 20x5x2 40x4 50x5 57x5 65x7
push press - 60kgx5x5
chin up - BWx10 9 8 6 5
dumbbell scapula rotation - 5x10 10x12x3 super set with neck harness - 20x20 30x30 23 20

Wow! You've got an awesome journal going on here.

Great stuff!

Excited to check out your journal more often. Looks like you've got a lot of muscle and a lot of strength.

All the best!

2.21.2012 bodyweight: 232
deadlift - 50kgx5 70x5 100x5 120x5 150x5 172x5 195x9
glute ham raise - BWx10 10 10 8 7
standing cable crunch - 150x10x5
reverse hyper - BWx20x3 super set with neck curl - 5kgx20 18 16

New PR at that weight on the deadlift. Pretty stoked about that. A few of the Oly lifters at my gym were watching and cheering me on. It makes me really wish I had real training partners. That was also the most reps I've ever been able to do on GHRs, so I'm pretty happy with that as well. Definitely a good day in the gym. My left shoulder/traps/neck have been really sore all day. Probably a combination of what I did yesterday with an iffy delt along with some weird sleep positions last night. Thinking about scheduling a massage for myself tomorrow.

2.23.2012 bodyweight: 234
bench press - 45x5x2 95x5x2 135x5x2 175x5 205x5 235x7
incline dumbbell press - 60x10x5
t bar row - 115x10x5
scapula rotation - 5x10 10x12x3 superset with neck harness - 20x20 30x30 25 23

I felt a fair amount of pain benching tonight and it's still hurting now, but definitely not as bad as last week. I tried to do incline barbell presses, but it was not happening, so I settled for dumbbells. First time I had done any incline pressing in some time, so I kept it light. First time I did t bar rows probably in a few years.
