Appreciate the feedback. Checking on the GSLP program you mentioned now.

Below is my upper body push pull routine. I generally try do this twice in a week (4 days) with an additional leg day for day 5 when I can. I’d love to hear some comments on what I’m missing, need to do more or less of, etc. I’m completely “self-taught” and have just cobbled this together over time going to the gym the past 2 years. Thanks in advance for all the feedback.

Just purchased grasshopper. Looking forward to giving it a go.

One piece of feedback for the owner - his website has so little info on it. If it weren’t for this thread I never would have purchased it.

Any recommendations for a program to start with from anyone? I’d say I’m an intermediate lifter. Typically 4 days a week on a push pull routine for the past year.

Also, I noticed some of the examples show doing exercises at %’s. Do I need to go ensure I know my max on all the big lifts first?

Seeing a Reolink 8 camera security camera system on sale for about $700. Very tempted to pull the trigger, but a bit worried about some of the reviews.

Normal range is something like 350-1000

Have moved purely to dumbbells for bench. Still have some pain but far less than the bench press. Have been keeping dumbbells at a 45 degree angle and elbows much closer to me.

Hoping this will allow it to rehab a bit. Had some more pain on incline but was towards end of workout so probably just wearing it out a bit.

They just had a news conference where someone from the police claimed a security guard at the event was injected with drugs in the neck while doing his job and had to be resuscitated with Narcan by EMTs. What the hell?? Almost too hard to believe.

I have no doubt it’s technique. Hoping it will recover from rest.

Just training bench to workout chest. Not training to be a power lifter.

I’ve been back into lifting for about 10 months. I can’t pinpoint the moment when I was injured, but it seems like one day my shoulder started hurting when going through my normal press day. Went back to the gym and I have a pretty high level of pain when I bench. Other exercises don’t seem to bother it much if at all. It bothers me some when I sleep, but just an uncomfortable feeling. Pain is primarily at the top of the shoulder.
I’ve more or less taken the week off, but anxious to get back to working out.

Any thoughts on what type of injury this could be?
