Strongman Log
Thought I'd start a log for my strongman training. Still dealing with shoulder issues so my overhead presses haven't been going well, but keeping a log will definitely keep me motivated.

Have you tried TB500?

I haven't tried it, went to PT and they think my muscles around my shoulder are extra tight from compensating for my injury, got me scheduled for some dry needling...

Did some deadlift work today, 405 for 5x5, tried pulling 500 but can feel my muscles really pull around that shoulder so stopped before hurting em worse. So worked on speed and grip, overhand, no straps, no over under grip.
Lat pulldowns 3 sets of 20
Barbell bicep curls superset with reverse tricep pushdowns 3x20
Higher rep work to strengthen those tendons.

Sunday:
20 reps with 800 pound tire, lots of rest between reps of 3-4.
Monday:
Chest, not very solid due to my shoulder, did light weight bench presses, single arm dumbbell bench press, incline dumbbell presses, and about 49min of shoulder accessory work to strengthen up my rotator cuff.

Your rotator cuff work as you know is key in your recovery.
Glad your making it a part of your training and this should be done first before any other lifting..but you already know this im just adding input from personal experience with the same injury/recovery.
I never tried TB500...i just took low dose Deca to help push through the exercises given by my exercise physiologist.
Looking forward to your Strongman logs

I've always done warm ups and movements for my rotator cuff before lifting, I didn't think to do the physical therapy exercises before, PT never mentioned that.
I've been taking a low does NPP weekly to help with my joints, if I don't my knees sound like sandpaper!
Thanks for the feed back!

Ok to catch up!
Tuesday:. Squat and stones day
Warmed up to a working set of 5x5 on squats, damn did the weight feel heavy, it's been one of those weeks where my energy and thinking just isn't where it's supposed to be. Did light stone work, just did the 175 stone for reps, no lap, to really work my core.
Wednesday:. Couldn't hit farmers carry since we have to do em outside and it was cold and rainy, did some high rep bicep and tricep work.
Alternating seated curls, cable curls, rope pushdowns and reverse grip pushdowns. 4x20 on each exercise.
