Rob / Others - Would you suggest I finish out Feast Workouts in the manner that I have been going about them (doing light upper with heavy lower) or would you suggest I place something like heavy deadlifts in place of the decline barbell and keep the light incline DB as part of the EDT combined with...

Personally, I am liking two rest days between training days right now. I used to workout far more frequently, but have gotten to like the additional rest.

Legs felt real strong again today. Took upper movements rather light and focused on volume and form. Shoulder was a bit sore afterwards, but not as bad as the first day...Probably similar to how it felt after the last workout. Iced it when I got home and I'm good to go. Today's workout: Squat: 325 x...

My bad...I went back and indicated which were personal bests. Shoulder feels AWESOME this morning. Legs are a little tired (I wonder why?), but my shoulder is virtually pain-free. I am feeling good about this approach and look forward to the next workout. Rob - Would you suggest that I move to Feast...

So here was today's workout. Take note that I strayed from the format slightly due to my shoulder issue (suspected AC joint sprain): -Decline barbell bench: 135 x 18 x 2 (skipped pullover due to shoulder) -Squat: 300 x 11 (Up from last workout!) PR moved right into SLDL: 165 x 10 (Up from last worko...

Really appreciate the response. That is more or less what I did today. Went REALLY light on press movements and absolutely killed the legs! Will post numbers later, but it was a big improvement over my original Feast Workout #1. The shoulder feels great right now. I wanted to do some light movements...

Rob (and others) - So my shoulder is still a bit sore and through some research, I am wondering if I didn't sprain my AC joint. I am having a difficult time balancing my desire to hit this program hard and keep my shoulder from getting any worse. I am contemplating whether or not I should try to tak...

Thanks Rob, I'll give it a shot. The shoulder is still a bit sore / tight, but I will take some more ibuprofen tonight and be sure to loosen up well before training tomorrow.

Thanks Rob. Would you suggest that I re-do Feast Workout #1 with decline in place of flat barbell and see how that goes?

Sounds good Rob. It's just frustrating that this is happening again. This time, rather than ignore it / "work through it", I will pay more attention to how it's feeling. I plan to take Ibuprofen every 6-8 hrs or so for the next day or two to see about reducing any inflammation. If it still...

So had my first Feast Workout. Good news was that I felt pretty good throughout. Bad news is that I seemed to have strained something in my left shoulder doing BP. A few years back I stopped barbell benching due to this and I was hoping it would be better by now. Dumbbell bench never bothered my sho...
