Pull Ups 60x2x5 That's what killed my power lifting career. I used to do wide stance squats IPF style and eventually my SI-joints gave up. These days I keep it under control by going to my local chiro once every three weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish my insurance would pay for even part of chiropractic care. It's rare that I suffer it to the point of having to cut back on my lifting, but usually it's a result of something I did within two days after lifting (sex is a culprit). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my shoulder is feeling decent. I still can't properly rack it, so I just start from a "suspended animation" position. Hey, have ever heard of this: push presses are hurting my knees? It must have something to do with the sudden flexion, followed by relaxation as I drive up the weight and end on my toes. My knees just don't feel girded like they do in a slow and steady squat, for example. Deadlift 529x3 406x8 Strict Rows 227x8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlift 529x3 406x8 Strict Rows 227x8 I have had push presses bother my knees, I had to start doing my squat workout warmup before push pressing and wear knee sleeves during the lift and the pain went away! I think part of the problem is the lack of general hip action in a push press and we become unaccustomed to sudden knee flexion like you said. And jerry pritchett basically has the weight floating 6 inches off his chest before log and he is still a top class, I wouldn't worry too much ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try the sleeves and a more thorough leg warmup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Thanks, guys! Those long pauses are a nice change of pace, but I wouldn't want to do too much of them; they're hard on the pecs. Dumbbell Press Right 75x7 Left 75x6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royz Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hi Eric, Still making great progress I see (jealous yes). Since you're just posting your max sets I was wondering how do typically you work up to a 2x292 bench or a 2x462 squat for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squat was 135x7, 225x5, 315x2, 385x1. Deadlift I was too overtrained to make my 561x2, so I dropped down: 426x4x5 Barbell Strict Rows 245x2x7 I will be going for more volume and less intensity from now on, for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
