Speciliazed Strength Training (SST)

[BrotherIron]

I front and back squatted in them tonight. I love those shoes. Had them resoled last year

Nice. I use my Oly shoes for everything.... bench, OHP, squats, etc. The only thing I don't do in them is perform conventional pulls and RDL's.

I need to put snatch pulls and snatch high pulls back in my training b/c my shoulder won't let me perform snatches anymore.

I'm glad you have something that's working! Training around the injuries is harder than the actual training. The chain work is impressive, I'm jealous. Good day!

Nice work dude.

When is your next test week?

Nice watch too!

I don't think of tendinitis as an injury. It's just a nagging issue that is manageable as long as I remember to do all my prehab. I'm a HUGE fan of chain work. It's a way to work speed, overload the CNS, and also protect the joints (add years to lifting).

Nice work dude.

When is your next test week?

Nice watch too!

Thanks. Next test week will be after this wave..... as long as SS is in town so she can spot me. If not than I may run a wave 4 and wait for her to be here. I don't trust others when I'm actually testing myself.

The watch has been getting a lot of wrist time. I have my eye on another Japanese market Seiko when it comes tax time. It's not a diver. It's a desk watch but I'm really leaning towards picking it up. I wish I had the budget to pick up a GS (Grand Seiko).

Damn BI!! I've been missing some work in here. We all put in some serious work at the gym, but your log always amazes me. Great job dude, keep at it.

Gi---ditto what IS said. I am always impressed by your dedication to prefab/rehab stuff, and like CL said definitely need to incorporate this into my program. Thanks for making us all a little more cognizant of our actions.

Thanks IS, TA. If one person starts performing prehab/rehab on their injuries than I'd be a happy camper. I wish I would have done all of this years ago when I was younger. Now being 35, all my shortcoming in taking care of myself are showing their ugly faces.

10min 4x week can/will make all the difference in the world when it comes to staying 100% and adding years to your lifting. It's never to late to start but try to start early.

When I went on my vacation last year I was the only guy walking around doing shoulder pre-hab shit before and after push-up and dip workouts. Even tied towels together to do dislocations. Over the course of six months I eliminated most of the crunching and cracking that had developed in my shoulders and gained a bit more range of motion. I'm 31.

Since I've been home, I continue to do all the pre-hab stuff leading into every benching session; the crunching is now non-existent. BI, I got the whole regimen from you and your training log.
Much appreciated.

I'm glad it's helped you. I hope more will start to do this if they haven't. 31.... age hasn't caught up with you yet. I think I didn't notice the difference till I hit 33, lol.

Dec 31, 14 - Squat Day

Cut my workout short but that's ok. I'm happy I got it in b/c this is the one holiday where I drink and have fun so this way I don't have to worry about training the rest of the week. I'm not sure but 530 for a triple with just a belt could be a PR. I'll have to check and see. 545 for a single w/ belt felt good. 560 was the only wrapped set and it was a loose wrap.

• Back Squat (PL)~ barx20, 135x3, x3, 225x3, 315x3, 420x3, 475x3, 530x3, 545x1, 560x1
• Paused Back Squat (3 sec)~ 355x3, 375x3, 395x3, 415x2
