Workouts have had to be rearranged this week because I have exams at school.
This is today's workout:
Bench
88 x 5
116 x 5
143 x 5
171 x 5
198 x 1
231 x 2 + 1
As I initiated the leg drive on the 3rd rep at 231 my shoulders/traps slid up the bench instead on transferring the force into the bar. Because of this I had to have help on the midpoint of the third rep.
Military
Bar x 8
77 x 5
127 x 1
99 x 8 BTN
Incline DB
61's x 6
72's x 6
72's x 6
72's x 6
Rev Grip Bench
149 x 3 had to regrip
149 x 7 lost balance of the bar on 8th rep
160 x 6 added wrist wraps
176 x 3
Dips x 3 sets w/ bw
Tricep Extensions x 3 sets of 8
Standing Calf Raise
187 x 23 PR
Not the greatest workout but not bad.
Having shoulder stability issues. The last warmup of 198 was easy and I could really explode the weight. 231 was another matter it was like I had to baby it. Not having any pain anymore though.

good luck with those exams bro... i wish i would have tried harder in school... believe me, its worth missing a couple workouts, and i doubt you will lose any noticable strength...
i just started working my neck the other week... re-read that thread that SL posted about a year ago on 'training the yoke'... so once or twice a week i'll be doing some neck curls on the ham curl machine, sitting the opposite direction, face down... will keep the weight fairly moderate for 15-20 reps...
i swear i can already see a difference...

thanks man.
I'm a little wary about doing neck work, my neck is naturally a decent size. I wear a 16" collar and that's a snug fit. A 15.5 would choke me lol. When I was 200+ my neck was nearly the size of my head, no lie. I wore a 17.5" collar back then. I also had a chubby looking face haha when I look back at pictures of me when I was that fat it looked rediculous. A muscular neck can look good, but a fat neck isn't appreciated by anyone but other fat powerlifters lol. Girls all say I look better without the fat neck and face.
I'll probably just do it every so often, maybe a couple of times a week at most.
Maybe you should start doing the crunch machine to "even out" your abs too lol :sarcastic:
bahaha. My girl doesnt like a yoked out neck, i think it looks pretty sick, but im 5'9" and have long legs so it doesnt really help me out other than make me look like a butterball with abs
GL with exams bro, I wish I would have tried harder in shcool now that I think of it.
