Bit of a delayed and mass posting. I've been keeping off doing presses of any kind for the last week plus; my shoulder has been still acting up slightly but not as bad and I've been using a softball on it a lot and doing some rehab movements.
Squats are coming along pretty well and my form and style has made some natural progressions towards a cross between LBBS & HBBS, I call it sqatting. It's somewhere in between the two forms and it's what works for me. I'm still working to keep my knees out and I think I need a bit wider stance to remedy that. I've learned to "pinch my ass" which then tightens me up, before I descend. Had a pretty good week, finishing off at 115 x3x3 which I was a bit disappointed with but as I stated it was good week and I made good progress so I need to be happy with that. I think by not try for 5x3 with a weight I know I can do and instead go 3x3 with a weight I want to get 5x3 on, I bring in a little bit of periodization into my linear scheme and allows myself some rest. It seems to be working for Keith pretty good so it's worth a thought. I've also been foam rolling a lot and dam it feels good.
I did some shoulder presses at a reasonable weight for the first time in over a week. They felt good, I didn't feel any pain and the next day my shoulder felt fine. It's been feeling a bit tight in general but it didn't feel anymore tighter than usual the day after the presses so I take that as a good sign. I'll do more shoulder presses Monday and then try bench pressing on Wednesday and go from there.
