Thursday....Boulder Shoulder
Tried out a new exercise and must say I like it, works the core and really hits my delts. Seated on the floor in a power rack, put the bar at chin height and pressed from that position, 5x10's, I've always been a hard gainer in my shoulders but this gave me a good pump! Ohh also legs straight out on the lift.
After this did some standing military presses with the log, kept weight higher again, 5x10's, then finished off with lateral raises and rear lateral raises.
Friday took the day off,shit at home got in the way.
Saturday hit deadlifts, my mind wasn't in it, too much shit going through it so kept it light and went through the motions on deadlift, barbell rows, pull ups and some core work.

Monday, shoulder area feeling better with doing more rotator cuff exercises. Started with accessory work on my rotators, did reverse grip bench 4x10, dumbbell bench 4x10, Incline dumbbell bench 4x10, and core work. Really wanted to hit log today, but just felt I should give the shoulder a bit more time to heal, everytime it feels a little better I get on log and go heavy and end up hurting it worse, so just did some super light log work to go through the motions and keep my form and range of movement good.
Tuesday....squat and stones, one of my fav days of the week!

Well shit ended up working late yesterday, shitty day so I was ready for the gym.
5x5 on squats
Stones, 5x10 no lap work, really busted the core used the 150 pound stone, which doesn't sound like a lot, but 10 reps no lap, was killer.

Wednesday.... Armageddon!
5 sets if 21's axle bar curls, 5 sets of 12 zottman curls. The 21's were 7 half rep bottoms, 7 half reps from top, then 7 full reps to finish it off.
Reverse tricep pushdowns 5 sets of 20-30.
Forearms were on fire! Loved it!
Was going to do static holds but forearms couldn't take anymore!

Haven't updated in a bit, busy season at work and this year is worse than anything I have seen! So been working, training, eating, sleeping.
Will update later today on current program, surprisingly, with all the chaos, my power has gone up!

I've read about kratom, been leary about trying it as in the past I had a o x y addiction that I've been clear of for over two years. So always a bit gun shy on trying things for pain because I know I can go off the deep end!
In the process of buying a yoke, really want to incorporate that into leg day, also will be implementing sandbag presses soon.
Was pretty happy with my incline, topped out at 275 from that dead stop, so happy with that progress, really struggling to get that log press going in the right direction. It's my weakest event right now.
