Getting my Strength Back

[Bod42]

Thought I would start a thread to keep track of my training as always seem to loose them.

Been traveling for a few months and then finding a house etc so wasnt training much if at all so basically just looking to put strength back on for Rugby.

At the moment I am doing StrongLift as it gives nice fast workout to workout progression so hopefully I can put back the strength I lost while travelling.

Mondays Workout:

Box Squats: 120kg 3 x 5 (14" Box)

Seated Shoulder Press: 52.5kg 5,5,5,4,3

Conventional Deadlift: 152.5kg 1 x 5

Wednesday Workout:

Squat 122.5kg 3 x 5

Bench Press 102.5kg 5,5,5,4,3

Bent Over Rows 80kg 5,5,4,4,4 3 weeks and still didnt hit weight so deload by 20% so next time 64kg and build back up.

Squats are suffering as my back is so beat up from Deadlifts. Oh well keep running the program until I no longer can and then move to Madcow where you get one light squat day which should keep me progressing nicely (hopefully)

Fridays Workout:

Box Squats: 125kg 3 x 5 (14" Box)

Seated Shoulder Press: 52.5kg 5,5,5,45,5

Conventional Deadlift: 157.5kg 1 x 3

Concentrated on my Deadlift form and this weight felt really good today. A few times when loading my weights my back twinged so was worried about the weight but my back felt better after finishing.

Saturday Workout:

Doing a specialist Internal/External Shoulder Routine every 5 days now on offd ays as where I dislocated my shoulder around 7 times now the mobility is screwed and I could hardly feel my hand after shoulder press so decided I should do some proper shoulder work.

Also did some complex's to improve fitness

Monday:

Squat 127.5kg 3 x 5 - The weight didnt feel heavy but God I was slow off the box, I had no power so maybe a will use a few more sets next time t warm up.

Bench Press 102.5kg 5,5,5,5,5 was please to get 5 x 5 as last time was hard.

Bent Over Rows 70kg. Was going for 65kg but decided on 70kg so I can keep using the biggest plate to keep my body exactly the same angle.
