Upon a variety of recent injuries that seem to be healing up quite nicely, and looking at my past logs, and thinking about training philosophy in general, I've decided its time to go back to basics. I still need to rehab my shoulder as I have full range of motion, with no pain, but pressing still gives me a little bit of an issue, so I figure I'll lay down some more shoulder exercises into my routine for awhile, more as prehab work than anything.
I have wicked speed off of my chest benching raw so thats no real big issue, however what is a big issue and has always been my achillies heel so to speak has been my lockout and my poor ability to handle/control big weights on the bench. I plan on really concentrating on handling big weights by doing some negatives into my routine as well as lower board work for my lockout strength (I'll stick with a 3board and 2 board cycle for awhile). Also rack lockouts have always been a strength for me so I'll continue to do those as well as nearly doubling and tripling the volume on tricep and upper back work.
My legs are strong, very strong in fact, and as the saying goes if it aint broke dont fix it, so I dont plan on switching up my squat routine at all or my deadlift routine. I'll stick with what works while including some front squats on my deadlift day as they greatly help me in the initial pull of the weight off the floor.
I'll go into this in detail later on but in the meantime, enjoy this great UFC fight from earlier in the year!
