Hey...... there is no damn name calling in this thread Bunny.

Todays workout:

Power Clean: 95x8, 135x5x2, 155x3, 175x3x3 - chalk just everywhere - the cleaning lady at the gym gives me the dirtiest looks - I like these in triples until I get the power portion better - last rep or two on my last set would probably be called muscle cleans...lol. Deff going to see the local russian coach when my shoulder is 100%.

HS Jump Shrug: 2 plates x15 (no leg drive, just a slow shrug w/ a 2-3 sec hold at the top), 4 plates x15 (same), 6 plates x12x2 (JS), 8 plates x10 (JS), 10 plates x6 - had to use wraps here (JS for sure!) - this HS machine allows my hands to be at my sides and my shoulders to be back -I am avoiding BB JS for a month of so in hopes it helps my posture - really need to keep my shoulders back, head up, and chest out.

Decline Ab: BWx20, BW+10x20 (grinder for sure), BWx20 - forgot I did these yesterday.

Superset abs w/ calfs then did one more calf exercise.

I feel really good about my shoulder. This speed work is doing what it promises. If you ever have any shoulder issues try dropping some weight and doing speed work. I may incorporate it now just to keep my tendons to par. I am going to try some light military pressing tomorrow - may do it on a HS just to be careful but I am almost ready to start pushing 80% on flat I think/hope/pray...

you have a trap bar in that gym of yours? I dont like the angle on the hammer shrug but it should let you keep the weight from popping your SI if you get too heavy on those power shrugs

must resist temptation to stir pot

No trap bar unfortunatly or I would be all over it. I do like how the HS "places" my shoulders back, but I would prefer the feel of cold hard steel. I am a posture machine right now.

No more stirring for me.... for now at least. I may need an alter or two when I start my tren.

I decided to do box squats b/c oly squats are hurting my groin. Still can't get to the bottom w/ out some pain so I am laying off for a week or so. I did enjoy them.

I think the culprit on the groin is the leg press - I like to go down to far and I think that is how I hurt it.

Groin pulls no fun!!! I did a half one last week... Just backed off a tad and limped a bit but no issue the next day.
Have you been doing any adductor warming stuff pre-work-out?!? Maybe jump on step mill side step up for a few minutes switch sides to warm them up before jumping into weights....
Just a thought.
Could be tied to the coccyx pain you were having there for a bit with squats..... if they are tight one muscle imparticular can refer pain there. Make sure you are working on hip flexibility o.k. Like butterfly stretch and piriformis stretch, glute stretches post work-out and keep it supple resetting the golgi tendon organs.

always.

I am a streching machine at this point Treilin (much thanks to you and Bunny). Every workout consists of loads of RC work and some speed work on chest prior to any real lifting.

I did power cleans last night and I feel great today - the tendon is loosening up daily - I can totally tell.
