Don't worry - no painful encore of JooseVlog.
I threw some Presses back into the mix this week, just to see how they felt. I did 2 sets of 10 light reps before doing 2 sets of Shoulder Shocker on Monday and Saturday. The injury felt iffy during and after Monday's workout, but I was feeling brave and tried again today, and it felt much better. Hopefully this will continue as I really miss the Press; PLUS the Shoulder Shocker is really supposed to be a "finisher," not a core exercise unto itself.
DL had a planned work-set of 415 (+5lbs from last week), but I was feeling really strong (and REALLY crazy) so I went for a 5RM +3.5lb PR. I had to take a quick breather between reps 4 and 5, so some of you may not count it, but I felt like it was a major victory (especially since just last week I said I wouldn't consider myself stronger than pre-injury strength as I hadn't matched my 5x425 yet) and I am counting it. Judge for yourself - comments welcome:

So, after watching it again, it looks like the "quick breather" was 20 seconds long. Oops. Oh well - this is still, quite possibly, stronger than I have ever been. Online 1RM calculators put my 1RM around 482... 500 pounds is right around the corner, I hope.
I did 5 reps at 315lbs for a single set of Squats today. It felt surprisingly light! I am looking forward to 3x5 at that weight on Monday.
