This was a disappointing workout. Deadlifts felt really heavy for some reason. I just wasn't feeling the groove today and felt like I was losing form, so I dropped the weight down significantly.
Pull-ups were there only thing that I improved on, getting all 3 sets with an added 15lbs, 1 more set than last week.
Front squats were OK, but I didn't think i could finish all 3 sets with 265, so again, I had to drop the weight down. When I was done I threw the bar on my back and did 8 back squats. Those actually felt really good. Next routine, it's back to normal squats. I think i need a break from front squats for a little while.
My shoulder has been acting up again, so I did not bench press today as per Bill Hartman's recommendation.
One more week of this routine and it's on to something new. Until I work out my shoulder problem I'm going to have to build a routine that has no pressing movements at all. I guess I'll be doing a lot leg work.

Just outta curiosity, when you bench press, do you tuck your elbows in? Ive had some shoulder problems in the past and they still bug me with overhead pressing, but with the elbows tucked in bench they seem to be alright.
