Shoulder session, but got put off by my shoulder clicking. Need to have a wrestle with my rotator cuff...
OHP: 55kg for 7 reps, for 2 sets
PULLUP: 16kg for 6 reps, for 4 sets
CABLE ROW: 25kg for 12 reps for 2 sets
PEC FLYE: 12kg for 18 reps for 2 sets
Weirdly, my shoulder doesn't hurt or trigger when doing the flyes, but I'm not keep on the clicking. Will review next time around.

Trying to ease back into some shoulder work...
BENCH: 60kg for 10 reps for 3 sets
PENDLAY ROW: 80kg for 8, then for 10 reps for 2 sets
INCLINE DB PRESS: 12kg for 16 reps, for 3 sets
CABLE ROW: 30kg for 10 reps, for 3 sets
Shoulder is still clicking a bit on flat bench but not on the DB press. This suggests a mobility problem, so I will deal with that. I have been doing a lot of external rotation to address one problem, so will explore some internal rotation work...

On squat? Good job. How did your body feel?Was looking forward to max testing, so swapped it for my shoulders day.
Topped out at 140kg which is pretty cool. Very happy with that!
Yes... completely missed that from the post.
It felt good, actually... might have had another 5kg in the tank but didn't want to push it.
Nothing like squats imo, although I loved deadlifts years ago too, there's just something about squats though. Good luck on pushing for that extra 5kg when you are ready, I am sure you will get it!Yes... completely missed that from the post.

Back intonthe gym for a quick round of shoulders (two days ago... sorry).
OHP: 55kg for 5 reps, for 3 sets
PULLUP: 20kg for 5 reps, for 2 sets, then 1 set of 8 negative reps.
Back to squats this evening. Looking at 112.5kg as my "base volume" weight.

To me 100+kg squats with good form is good going and damn hard work to do tbh, irrespective of fitness levels (squats at these kinda weights is nothing to be sniffed at whatever someones level is, including advanced physiques, imo).Back intonthe gym for a quick round of shoulders (two days ago... sorry).

Reading your OP @mrthingyx your goal was to just get some strength and stability back. I think you must feel as though you’ve achieved that somewhat with the weights you’re moving? Do you have some higher goals to work towards?
