Squats
bar x 10
65lb x 10
95lb 3x10

I was able to do some squats so long as I took a really wide grip (to the collars) and kept my upper body from tensing up.


Leg Press
2 plates x 10
3 plates x 10
3 + 25s x 5
4 plates x 10


Standing Hamstring Curl
25lb x 6
35lb x 12
40lb 2x12


DB Front Raise/Side Raise
Nope. Too sore. Oh well, now I know. So I just did some range of motion/stretching stuff.

Leg Raises from Floor
bw 3x10

I did a normal speed leg raise followed by a slowed decent and pause as long as I could on the 10th rep.

Thoughts

Good to get back under a bar even if it was only 95lb. lol

My mother assessed my shoulder. She says it is healing well for how long it's been. I'll wait another 10days or so and then maybe start slowly putting weight on it.

IW

good stuff dude. :)

I'm feeling today like the bicep curls were probably a bit much. Ah well, lesson learned. Wait a bit more.

Pistol Squats
bw 5x3

It's been a long time since I've done pistols. I forgot how tough they are!

Squats
bar x 10
135lb x 8
185lb x 3
205lb 2x3
225lb x 1

I wasn't planning to work up this high but it felt pretty damn good. Squats will obviously be the first to be back at 100%.


Standing Hamstring Curl
25lb x 12
35lb x 12
40lb x 12
45lb x 12


Leg Raises from Bench
bw 3x10


Thoughts

Today went pretty well. I tried benching the bar and that felt alright. Still a little bit of pain so maybe next week I can start work with the bar. I tried military press with the bar as well but that is still a ways off. Maybe start with some 5-10lb DBs next week.

My ROM is back to pretty much 100% now with very little pain. It's only when I put too much weight on the joint do I get a bit of pain. So.... I'm getting there.

Good to see you back at it Dub

I'm quite a ways off 100% but I'm trying to get back to it as fast as my body lets me.

Well slowly but surely I'm getting back into it. It's hard to know where to draw the line though...

Are you working through an injury?

I broke my collar bone almost 5 weeks ago. If I have any advice for you ... don't break your collar bone!!! It screws up *all* of your lifts.
