Press: 75kg 5-5-5-5-5 Deadlift: 195kg x 5 PR Deadlift was more like 1-2-1-1, but whatever, a long set is still a set. Did 2x195 afterwards to feel better about myself. This whole workout is just extremely exhausting, sometimes I think about adding an assistance exercise, but that non-sense is always cured when I am done with deadlifting. | ||

I am doing Texas Method, and day1 is supposed to kill you. Day2 is a lot easier (though I do Front Squats instead of light squatting) and day3 is also hard, but shorter. Still, Deadlift after 5x5 Squats is just crazy shit. I will maybe shift deads to day2, like in the Madcow template. But it's too early to change stuff like this, I am only in week 5 and will have to see how everything works out. | ||

The gym where im going (McGill University) just bought a lot of new things including 2 Oly platforms with a lot of bump plates! Im going to be starting SS again... Today : Squat : 135lbs Bench : 135lbs DL : 155lbs Anybody knows wich part of the body needs more flexibilty when I cant get my shoulders/arms to be behind my body enough so my wrists do bend on the squats ? My arms cant be inline cause of that... and it actually hurts my wrist everytime i squat! | ||

I don't think you need to hold the bar with your hands too close to your shoulders. | ||

@Rutluv - You're right that having your arms closer in is better for the tightness across the upper back, and the way it forces you into "chest out, back straight." I remember reading about this particular problem when I went through SS... but that was a while back, I don't remember the advice. For now, I would say go as tight as you can, while still keeping the wrists straight, and then decrease that distance over time. Maybe someone else knows about specific stretches you can do. Been shadowing at a local hospital the past few days with a cardiologist. It appears to me at this point, that the cause of every single Cardiology problem is either birth defect, smoking, or obesity, with obesity being the leading cause by miles and miles (19/20 cases I've seen. Also, the hospital's dietitian doesn't think much of my not eating grains =x.) Thankful for this thread - maybe we save some TL-ians life some day. Edit: Always fun to look at those Crossfit "strength standards" that don't account for height at all. I'm almost exactly at the novice level for each lift - within 1-2 pounds of it for a set of five. Based on my time training, I should be somewhere between novice and intermediate, but those numbers are way far away. I'll worry about hitting them when I feel like I weigh "enough" for my height - probably another 50 pounds off for now. | ||

But yeah it does hurt less but still my wrists cant get inline with my forearms.. It's a simple problem to fix. It just takes time. Try these stretches for a couple of minutes everyday. You can do this one standing as well. Just make sure your ass, shoulders, elbows and wrist touch the wall. Shoulder blades should be back and down the entire time. It's surprisingly hard, especially if you've got tight pecs. | ||

Good point..I just manually tighten my upper back, but you have the right idea in that you want it as tight as possible. | ||

Any suggestions? nope.... hurts too. !Need to get an orthopedic doc to check it out... Loose/unstable isn't good though that tends to usually mean some joint type of damage like meniscus or ACL.; Although it could be just a contusion. It's deifnitely something you wanna have looked at by a qualified professional. RICE It in the meantime | ||

Good thing though that I just started power cleaning, one lift I can still enjoy beginner progress with. Plus it's fun as hell, should have started earlier. hmm Squat: almost advanced  Deadlift: b/w intermediate and advanced  Bench: almost advanced Press: dropped from intermediate to novice during cutting front squatting = pain in the ass IMO  | ||

Is there something wrong with the way I'm benching? Any stretches that I can do to feel less pain? Shoulder problems are not always rotator cuff problems. Can't tell without more information... could be poor bench, could be posture related, could be something else. | ||

At least I made my lifts so I'm still on track to hit my squat and deadlift goals by the end of next week. I think I'll be able to do a single of my 5 rep goal for press by then too. Just need to stay positive. | ||
