Announcement: Our first Gift of Injury course (Dr. McGill and Myself) is scheduled for Columbus, Ohio on December 1, 2018, at The Spot Athletics. This excellent facility, owned by Legend Powerlifter, Business Mogul and Strength Authority JL Holdsworth in Dublin. You can register HERE.

I want to give a shoutout to Inzernet.com and CaptainJacked.com for their support and backing. Support the companies that support our sport!

I just finished a 10-week ‘peak’ training cycle where I accomplished my goals of getting back to competition strength and shape and will be entering into a long offseason for the upcoming WPO in Nov of this year. Like many other TeamPRS athletes, our very own Tucker Loken is handling my diet.

  • Warm-up: General 10/20/Life warm-up, as usual, each day includes but not limited to: Breaking a sweat, McGill big 3 and always band pull-aparts and shoulder band/DB work.
  • Training:
  1.  Side laterals: 4×10
  2. Rear delt flye w/squeeze: 4×10
  3. More band pull-aparts (did them in warm-up too)
  4. 2-arm DB row w/squeeze: 4×10
  5. Flat DB press: 8×10 – felt good, no pain or tightness with 75’s
  6. Incline DB press: 4×10
  7. DB skull variations: 4×10
  8. Rope press-downs: 4×10
  9. Bench push-ups
  10. Bottoms up KB bench press: 4×10 w/60lbs

Shoulder feels solid and no issues with the pressing. I’m going to stay on the path for another week or so with KB/DB’s, but I will be back to pressing with the bar very soon. After talking with a few key people, I’m going to work with some bamboo-bar/bandbell bar like methods for a bit to continue stabilizing my shoulder and building strength without too much load right away.

21 weeks is a long time, but it will go by fast. Looking forward to seeing how things shake out.
