Oblivian's Adaptations - Part II

I can't join that in good faith right now. I'm dangerously close to making zero progress in the Deadlift and Bench Press comp. I really need to just focus on that. Plus I have some other numbers chasing that I'm trying to do in 2012 that I don't want to fail on.

*First time trying to bench since pec injury. Pec didn't hurt, but it felt really tight. If I flex it, I almost feel a little bump or ball in there. Definitely going to scrap bench - likely for the rest of 2012.

It seems I need to narrow in on trying to get my deadlift back to where it was pre injury and I also want to strict press 225 lbs. Hopefully I can get this accomplished by mid 2012. After that, I want to focus on trying to get a 500 lbs squat, 405 lbs front squat, and 300 lbs push press.

Thanks. 225 lbs is really the goal, but PR's on SOHP come slow!
 
Thanks man. Sorry that I was as worthless as tits on a bore hog this contest.
 
Damn your overhead strength is impressive. Congrats on the PR!
 
thanks for the advice. I probably wont be Deadlifting for a long time. I might not even be able to squat. I re-injured it again... slouching on chair then sneezed.... kinda funny thinking back on it now, but it sent me into a world of hurt. I probably will go get it checked out, i'm afraid if a disc is damaged.
 
Reduced volume a bit due to heat. It's good timing since I'm also peaking on the program.
