    Swanson's Penultimate 5/3/1 Powerlifting Log...for real

    I can't even imagine how much of a pain it is for you. When I tried to take it up last year at 270 it was bad news. Surprisingly 7lbs makes a difference.

    So, I'm pretty much completely done with 90% of bench variations for a while now. I tried a number and they all sucked. Except there was one that didn't suck. 14/04/09 UPPER REVERSE GRIP BENCH 135-5 185-5 185+52lb chain-5 225-1,5 <-- took chain off here, only had chain for 1 set while a...

    Wait, what's your single PR on deadlift?

    Sweet deal, rob, and I think your plan sounds about right regarding finding out your working weight. Though, I'd be interested to hear what bolt says, but I can't imagine it not being the superior way to train for strength. The only thing is that maybe pyramiding up may help with recovery but...

    I think that's fairly reasonable. It's just interesting because this has been the case my whole life, definitely before I even started lifting.

    Hitting accidental heavy weight is never a bad thing :)

    Country Gets HUGE with 5-3-1, Erase and DAA.

    Good, good. Yeah, I can't help but think doing some walking will help. I also wonder if seated leg raises/leg curls would be helpful for bringing blood to the area without loading the PT. I don't think that leg raises load the PT, do they? Leg curls shouldn't.

    Ok, cool stuff on the bench front for sure. How was today's workout? Easy peasy, no pain?

    That's where I found out about it. That and a post he made on a Tnation thread.

    Best benching yet, even if the weight isn't the heaviest you've handled.

    Not for my shoulder, no. Now that you mention it I will put in a request to see the other chiro there who is the shoulder guy (my guy deals more with neck and lower back). Here's another case of problems caused by self-diagnoses. As I mentioned about my deadlifts, I felt soreness in my hip...

    I would definitely not resort to invasive procedures for a diagnosis unless something is horribly wrong, like you're unable to perform every-day activities like reaching for the shampoo, or combing your hair, putting on a pair of boxers, etc, and other alternatives have been exhausted. I'd be...

    Whatever is right, haha. I guess what I'm trying to say is to be wary of self diagnosing, which I know you didn't do considering the money you shelled out seeking therapy and seeing Tom Gentilcore.

    Sean1332 , I know you probably have issues completely different than mine, but I thought I'd mention this on this page and tag you since you have shoulder issues. Having a proper diagnosis is seriously important before embarking on a rehab plan. Before my first break from lifting to rehab my...

    Heh, I hope it's not, either. Honestly, I think I've been doing a poor job at being proactive with my shoulder health. I'm not entirely sure why I let my ego push me to incorporate BB flat benching so soon after my shoulder healed up instead of either slapping on a slingshot (ok, maybe that's a...

    Ugh, I think I just experienced a SLAP tear in real time while benching today. Was doing a weight for 8 reps, first 4 reps were really explosive, 5th rep my shoulder just rolled forward while my scapula was still nice and tucked. Too soon to say as I did fail the false positive tests (the tests...
