(My raw max is probably right around 500, so having 485 feel decent and move semi-fast was nice.) If I can pull 505-510 in the meet coming up, I will be very happy.

Did the second rep (stupid) and it got worse. I'm going to keep a loose knee sleeve on for the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DU in single wraps, but it's been awhile. Today's bend felt good, which got me thinking about that 440lb. bar again. A few years ago, when I was hitting Reds and Bastards DU, I tried a 440 bar in singles (BBW) and got to around 25-30 deg., but never a full bend. I think, after the meet next month, I am going to try to take that bar down. This would give me a decent challenge and something to raise my game. The great thing about DU is it doesn't seem to bother my shoulder at all, so I can (hopefully) go all-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, everything felt pretty good. Squats have been OK, but not strong. Training with no wraps or sleeves (periodically) has been tough and starting to wear on my knees, at least preventing me from going much heavier. After this meet, I am going to get back to squatting raw w/wraps and in single-ply briefs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, grippers felt a ton stronger today than the last session. Bench, on-the-other hand, was weak. 305 felt slow-and-heavy. Instead of risking more strain on my shoulder, I stopped there.

(2x1) 60 - 5 sec. (2x1) 70 - 5 sec. Another rough Red bend today. After reading some stuff in some other posts about similar experiences with the newer Reds, I guess I'm not going crazy. On a good day, a Red in single IMPs takes me about 10-15 seconds. These past few Reds I've bent have been taking closer to a minute. When I put one of the newer ones next to some older Reds, the vertex is not rounded on the newer ones ... showing a pretty stark difference between the two.

Seated Dumbbell Press light weight/high-rep Pull Ups (2x5) Band Pushdowns (2x20) Just clicked the handles on the #3 but the video wasn't good enough for a submission. The 133lb. attempt right before it felt as easy as it ever has. I tried some light (30lb.) dumbbell presses and still felt pain. But after some partial reps, I was able to get in a few high-rep sets without too much shoulder pain. I am think I am going to have to get this checked out by the end-of-the-year, as it's been several months and doesn't seem to be improving much, even after time-off.
