So is the Anderson Squat where you put the wait down all the way onto the safeties? Looks F*in tough. Nice Work.

^^^ Yup. Basically it is a bottom up front squat. So you have to rest the weight on the pins for a good 1-2 seconds (no touch and go). It is damn hard.

Beginning Thoughts:
I was worried about today's workout...
Workout:
I began the workout with Close Grip Incline Bench Press. I did 185 for several singles. It was pretty hard.

Next I was supposed to do Close Grip Decline Bench Press but I don't have a decline bench in my gym. So I did Flat Close Grip Bench Press using 135 lbs for some high reps and many many sets. This was super-setted with Hammer Strength Rows for the exact same volume (set-rep combination).

I finished up the workout with some Dumbbell Hammer Curls.
Overall Impression:
Its been a little over 3 weeks since I have dislocated my left shoulder. Well, in these 3-4 weeks I haven't done any exercise which requires a bar to be brought down to my chest. So today when I did the Incline CGBP I felt several soft clicks in my left shoulder and a slightly sharp pain in my anterior delt. This happened right from the get go. However, I continued to work through the pain (I will describe it in a minute) and I did some of my old shoulder rehab band exercises when I got back to my room. It is not hurting right now.

Onto the pain. I get this slightly sharp twang of pain when my hand is right above my head. So on all the bench presses, it happened both when the bar was against my chest and when it was just short of being locked out. I was trying to figure out why this has happened but I think I know....Since I haven't done any exercises which requires me to bring the bar down to my chest I must've developed some scar tissue which is being "broken" right now. I think this is the case because the pain isn't severe...It's just that I am a paranoid individual when it comes to my shoulders. I hope it gets better soon.

On another note: my glutes are sore as hell from yesterday's workout. It is hard just to walk. I hate being sore.

Lastly, I ate a 5 egg chicken omelet for dinner tonight (right after my workout). Is this good? I had cheese and some mushrooms and lettuce in it. I hope it's a good PWO meal

Cheers everyone and I hope you guys have a good week. Thanks for dropping by!

Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I'm not sure how I missed that since I read your journal pretty much every day. I hope you recover soon. I'm going through the same thing right now...I'm just a week ahead of you. Take care

Workout:
Speed Box Squats @ 50% = 160 lbs x 2 reps x 10 sets
Glute Ham Raises
Forward Lunges
Unilateral Box Squats
Bar Rollouts

Sucks about the shoulder man , seems like when you start to make some good progress the worst happens... I'm sure you'll be back again soon .

Beginning Thoughts:
I did something weird yesterday. Over the course of the whole day, all I ate was:
1 sachet of oatmeal
5 scoops of whey
8 oz steak
10 oz chopped smoked brisket
3 scoops of peanut butter

And then around 1:00 am I got a mad craving for ice cream. So I have finished 2 pints of ice cream between last night and today. haha...
Workout:
Speed Military Press @ 50% of my 1RM done with great speed. Shoulder was feeling absolutely fine.

Close Grip Floor Press was damn hard. My left shoulder hurt a LOT. I can't understand why. When I was doing the exercise it hurt at the bottom position. But if I stand normally and raise my arm it hurts right at the top.

Neutral Grip Pull-ups were awesome.

Did some Close Grip Push-ups and Dumbbell Rows.

I was worried about my shoulder so I did some facepulls. On the facepulls I heard 10 clicks in my shoulder on the first rep itself. It was as if my shoulder was re-arranging itself. Scared me but I realized this always happens for a while - especially after I have suffered a shoulder dislocation.
Overall Impression:
I am sort of worried about my shoulder....This shouldn't be happening but then again: I only got a dislocation less than a month ago...I think I am gonna be doing some of my theraband rehab work for a week or so. Everyday - not too aggressively...just 5-10 minutes of light work. Lets hope that works.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Still alot of shoulder rotation on a close grip movement of any kind.Maybe a board press variant would be a good substitute
until the shoulder is better?
