Went a little crazy and decided to go up to 250lbs on Floor Press. That’s the heaviest that I’ve gone since the shoulder surgery. Wish I could say it felt good but that would be a lie.

Just playing around this evening. Haven’t done Zercher’s in many years so I did decided to include them in this workout. I also used a fat bar on them which I’ve never done before. I found it very difficult to breathe while holding the bar. Next time I do these I’ll try a regular Olympic bar and see if I still have trouble breathing while doing them.

This was the first time I’ve done Pendlay Rows. I like them even though I’m weak as hell when doing them. On the Push Presses I could feel a twinge in my right shoulder on each rep so was afraid to go heavier. Ironically my left shoulder which I had the latest surgery on felt fine doing these.

Hey how is your range of motion?
Your strength seems to be on point.

Range of motion in my shoulder is good. My strength is beginning to come back now that I’ve stopped babying my shoulder so much. I worry about pushing it too hard, but also realize that at this point my shoulder has fully healed from the surgery.

Notes: 25” high box. I was holding a pair of 30lb dumbbells on last set.



On the fourth set of zercher squats I felt a stabbing pain just under my right bottom rib as I unracked the bar. I tried to do a fifth set with 250 pounds but it felt like I was about to blow my rib. The area now feels sore when I put pressure on it but I don’t think I’ve done any real damage to it.
