SS Yoke Bar arrived today. Haven't been able to back squat or do good mornings effectively since I had my right shoulder surgically stabilized (lost ~30degrees of ER). So, we're on for tomorrow. Been looking forward to this for awhile.

Welcome to the training log section. Looks like a solid workout. If you get a chance post some pics of the new bar.

Andrew Trueblood · 03-13-2009, 08:26 PM

Thanks. Good to be here.

Power Clean (doubles, RI=90s): 155, 175, 185, 195, 205, 205 (f)

Yoke Bar Squats (RI= 120s)
175x5, 225x5, 275x5, 295x3, 305x2, 315x1
Figuring out the new equipment. Center of gravity felt like a high-bar back squat, but the bar wants to pull me forward like a front squat. Did these in my oly shoes, full range of motion.

Yoke Bar Good Mornings (RI= 90s)
185x5, x5, x5
The yoke and handles reinforce a tight back arch on these and, I shouldn't like this, but the padding made this downright comfortable.

Hello and welcome!

Like the bar, good to see you have a way to progress as you heal up!

What's with the chickenwing, is that a shoulder reference?

Andrew Trueblood · 03-15-2009, 04:55 PM

Rowed a 5k: 19:40
--> Checking my conditioning for 20 minute events here and am a little disappointed. Held 1:55/ 500 splits for the first 2K, but had to drift down to 2:00/ 500 for the last 3.
Lungs, not legs.

Cuff/scapular circuit

Re: the thread name-- it is a shoulder reference and a theme of sorts. Been lurking for a while, but since most of my training is pretty similar to what others here do better I haven't had much to add. But I'm turning over a new leaf and trying some things to accommodate for my stiffness and make progress in my training. Thought that might be an interesting process to document publicly.

Heavy gravity day. It took three sets of power cleans at light weight before the bar started moving for me.

Looked over old logs over the weekend and realized that some of my best gains in the squat and deadlift came using volume-oriented periodization. One of the best times was when I used the Hatch Squat program as posted on the Mike's Gym site. So, I think I'll give it a go again. This time, however, I'm going to alternate back squatting with good mornings. Quick lifts start each session. Squats at the core. Assistance and variety will come in the context of a finisher or short met-con at the end of the session.
