benched 325lbs for a set of 5 yesterday, personal best but my rotator cuff is officially cooked, time to drop the weight and go higher rep

you need to rehab it and then strengthen it.

Did 4 sets of 5 with 255 benching. Then 2 sets of 8 with 90lb dbs. for incline.

good day yesterday. I'm following a 5x5 workout base on the bench, squat, and deadlift. On squat day I also powerclean and I powerered up 235 and could have gone 240. It's funny, I can powerclean 240, yet only squat 300, bench 240, and deadlift 350. Strange proportion indeed.

had a really good heavy stiff legged deadlift day last friday. i had been stuck at 315 for sets of 5, 5, and then 4 for the past five workouts. friday i pulled 325 for sets of 5, 5, and 5. it felt great, although i have to use straps to get that. i alternate light and heavy weeks for deadlifts and ditch the straps on the light days. last week's light dl day i pulled 235 for 10, 10, and 8 before the grip gave out. this week i'm going for 245 for 10, 10, and 8. this is at 5'10" 177lbs and 10-11% bf with shit for strength.

did not get what i wanted, but still hit a pr for sl dl's with no straps. got 245 for 10,9,7 before the grip gave out. unfortunately now my hands are completely tender and it's back day :/ pullups and rows are gonna hurrrrrrt.

I've been reading this for motivation...

Well, after seeing your deadlift video from nationals yesterday I was motivated and went to the gym and set a PR for myself..

I just started DLs a couple months ago because of this board, but I did 315 for 6,6,5. Oh, and that slight dizzyness after a set is a good thing right?

my previous pr was 305 for 4. Soon to be at 400!

Congrats man. My deadlift form was horrible on that video...lol...but it was balls to the wall. I wish I had not stumbled on the 2nd rep and I think I would have had the time to get a 16th rep. The 15th one wasn't all that rough...I just ran out of time.

Also, what that video doesn't show is me hugging the guy behind me after the set...or I would have fallen Or...me puking a few minutes later...lol

B, you're actually my motivation on the deadlift as well. Everytime I hit a new pr, I come here thinking I'm king of the world, and find that where I added 20lbs to my previous best, you just added 50.....
