Entry #994

SSB squats:
325 x 3 x 5
> Fucking love this gym. Screamed, loud. As I increase the weight it feels more and more like the bar is pitching me forward, but my back is holding strong.

One-armed dumbbell press:
Right - 127.5 x 3, 5, 5
Left - 75 x 3 x 10
> Misgrooved on the first set but once I focused on power breathing and staying tight the weight shot up. 

Face pulls:
25 reps 

Pendlay rows:
205 x 5, 5, 8
> Last set felt the best. Lift more explosively, that's the point of pulling from the ground. 

Band pressdowns:
2 minis x 18, 12, 12
Super-set with:
Bilateral dumbbell curls with Fat Gripz:
40s x 10, 8, 8 

My shoulder is feeling great. I feel like I can go back to bilateral pressing really soon, but honestly, I'm really liking this incremental progression of working up to heavier dumbbells for it. I set it up so that my right arm is progressing at 2.5 intervals (necessary due to how much heavier I'm going) and my left is moving up at 5, so eventually it'll catch up. Once that happens and after a period of doing Turkish get-ups with my new kettlebell I think I'll be ready. Good shit. Can't ever let an injury demotivate; there's too much to do.
