Training comments:DLing went as planned, had more in the tank and good speed. Will increase 10-15# next week. Rest of the accessory work went pretty good. I forgot to do GM's. I cannot believe it! Will see how SQing goes on Monday. Have been struggling a bit, so maybe too much low back? We will see....

How could you forget GMs?

Theres nothing like the pain of a heavily loaded bar rolling up your neck.....or do you have a cambered bar?

I have no idea how I forgot. I keep a log too but did not refer back. I guess the heat? I actually change my clothes after DLing then change my shirt again to go home. it is around 80 degrees in the gym in the summer, i was getting delerious. I will punish myself my going heavier next week!

Use a cambered bar. Not the regular one but a really bent one, real wide so you can easily fit shoulders between the bend in the bar. neck still hurts after though, I guess from squeezing it backwards.

Training comments:Tried to train tonight but too much pain in arm. I have issues with this especially when I use the 55# SQ bar due to the thickness and placement on back. It seems to hit nerves in my back and the next few days I get shoulder pain and numbness/pain in in arm. Been to therapy, doctor, chiro etc no relief. So it goes, part of the game. Will try to bench again on Sunday to replace this training session. Still plan on DLing on Friday.
