Still working on the closer grip for bench with elbows in to save my shoulder. Seems to be working OK. No twinges. Kind of humbling having to keep the weight down though.

All in all, good w/o. Keeping the diet steady with minor drop in cals 100-200 daily. No hurry.

Good to hear your shoulder is still playing nice 

You're looking quite lean in your pics already. Have you got a target weight in mind?

I think the grip and elbow change is helping me on the shoulder. Fingers are crossed.

I competed last year at @156#(153 after water drop). Been trying to add some mass this year.
I put on 8# and am now trying to slowly peel off some fat and see if I got any mass to show for it.
Trying evaluate if what I tried did any good. I was hoping to snag a couple #'s, but I don't know'
We'll see.

Thanks for asking.

Saw your progress pics. Upper body lookin' thick.

I need to get back to my Oly lifts, you're making me look bad

[ljimd]

OK, this week I got a crappy start. Monday, had to help my 85yo mom deal with some medical stuff.
So, no training. Tues I thought I would try some stuff I saw on some Larry Scott videoes. No lockout front squats w/leg ext and curls in tri-sets, plus some other nonsense.  After I was done, I felt like I wasted my time, so today I got back on schedule, minus squatting.

No iso work today. Last w/o for the week. Heading to the lake for the holiday in the AM.
Nothing but cold beer and brats in my future.

[taylor9569]

185 bench with no shoulder pain = good bench.

Enjoy your time at the lake 

[hochspeyer]

Cold beer+brats=good time!
