T-bone Strength 9/30/08

So I have this nagging shoulder injury. I took a pretty nasty spill in a golf cart accident trying to avoid hitting a deer and so I cant do literally any pressing exercises. I could barely unrack 315 on the bench, but I can pull and squat just fine so I figure I'll increase my weaknesses in those areas as I rehab my shoulder. Its not a muscle injury, turns out an MRI revealed I have a good solid bone bruise which should take a month or so to heal. In the mean time, I pull!

M.E. Deadlift/Squat

Front Squats: 135x8, 225x5, 275x3, 315x3, 345x3, 365x2 (Tied Old PR), 400x1* New PR

Rack Pulls from height 4 (Just below my knee): Worked up to 635 for a single then:
545x6, 500x4

Snatch Grip Deadlifts from deficit: 4x4 w/315

Pulldowns: 3 sets of 10

Abs

Pretty dang happy with this session. I'm now a 400lb front squatter, whatever that means, I know it'll increase my deadlift and squat strength I know that. I figure while I'm injured I might as well concentrate on getting my legs and back stronger seeing as how I have no trouble pulling or squatting, only pressing, so I may do another Russian Front Squat cycle with 400 pounds as the basis of my cycle. It was freakin hard as hell I gotta admit. My lats are getting stronger which can only help me later on. I'll heal up and bench 500 and get my elite total and all that good stuff!
