EZ Bar Tricep Extension
4x10 with bands

Neutral Grip Lat Pull Downs
3x20

Lying Elbows Out Extension with Band Pulling Across Body
3x15
I set up a bench lengthwise about 2 feet in front of rack and set up a monster mini around the rack about 2 feet off the ground. I attach the band to the dumbbell and lay down and perform a one arm elbows out extension, trying to keep my upper back tight (as if I were pressing). When I extend at the top of the extension I think about pulling the bar apart. This hits the supraspinatus hard.

I think my best was 505 for a single from a couple inches above belly button. Pretty happy with this considering I havent done Good Mornings in a very very long time. Left shoulder is acting up, but seems like my bench is fine so we'll see... Monolift hooks should be coming in the next week or two.

[ehubbard]

pr!!! congrats homey!!!

Thanks! But Good Mornings are dumb.

Yeah, I've had one for a couple months (Shawn from Worlds). I have another guy who may come in fro the summer. Raw lifter though who doesnt compete. Just ordered the Poor Man's Hooks from Crepinsek. They should be here in a week or two. If I'm going to drop over 1,000 I might as well get a monolift. These will tide me over until then.

CT worked on it on Sunday. I am super duper tight and knotted up. Stretching every morning now, and will ease back into it. The impingemenet happens less frequently as each day passes.

Do you see how I squat? I'ma bent over mess. What's the point.

They used to ding up my lower back pretty good too. I may do them every once in a while, preferably suspended so I can work on straining a bit more.
