EricMilfeld Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 My shoulder had me on the fence about benching, but decided to work up to one high-rep set: 120x8 (missed the 9th) My Bench has fallen about 15 pounds because of this shoulder injury.

Are you doing anything to heal it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my meet I’ll take a month off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Look at the bright side - I’m not a 126 pound Chinese girl. You know, in my 36 years of squatting I’ve never done a box squat. And I’ve only started doing pause squats in the last year or two. I’d be worried about sitting on something with weight on my back. Makes me nervous for a lower back tweak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t expecting that. But it’s still nice to go into the meet off a PR. And unlike deadlifts, grinding squats don’t zap my hard drive.

EricMilfeld Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Raw Nationals Squat 518, 535, 546 PR! Bench 308, 320 (not bad with a shoulder injury, passed my third) Deadlift 595, 628 PR! (passed my third) Second place was good enough to qualify me for the IPF Worlds in Sweden. And the great hookgrip experiment has come to a crashing finish. The Titex bar used had very soft knurling and I almost dropped my opener. I switched to mixed grip for the 628 with no trouble. My hands just aren’t suited for pulling max deads with a hook. No problem, I’ll train double over and with straps and use mixed for contests 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Carl! Yeah, I've been very happy with my squat progress. Weight gain helps this lift like no other. I'm so tempted to eat up to the 120 class!
