Strength Programme - Goal: 100kg Military Press

Probably just recovery taking a bit longer due to the lay off

Possibly, although I didn't exactly do high volume the other day so think it was more the nutrition. I ordered a 5kg tub of a protein and carb drink online from discount supps the other day and funnily enough, it arrived at my door literally within a minute of me finishing my session.......it was as if they'd timed it specifically for that!
 
Just had a look at your journal DV. Look like you're making good progress, didn't realise you'd had a pec tear too - how did you get it sorted? And did you need an op?

LOL at the PWO delivery timing.
 
Pec tear wasn't as bad as the bicep by any stretch but still a hinderance. It happened around the same time, week before I think, so once the bicep went it got the rest it needed. Still feels off a bit even today tho, whereas the bicep feels fine

Did the pec tear just recover by rest alone then?........mine's still a hindrance a year and a half later!
 
Today's session......left off deads as my knee was still feeling the deads from the other day. Stuck in lat pull down instead, as I have one in my garage.
 
Session was quite aerobically tough.....as if I'd done a hard morning's digging. Found chins tough at the end, I think because I'd used a lot of the same muscles in the lat pull downs.
 
Sandbag Loads: 5 x 5
 
Lat Pull Downs: 3 x 12
 
Chins: 8 reps
 
 

Yeah, just rest, it wasn't a full rupture

Ah I see.
 
First session in a week and a half today. Had a bad back for a good few days after the last session and then been on a run of 10hr shifts......which I know is an excuse, I need to put more effort into fitting training and eating around work.
 
Anyway, today:
 
Military Press 8 x 37, 47
                      4 x 57
                      8 x 67
                      6 x 67
DB Snatch: 4 x 28
                  2 x 33
                  2 x 1 - 38

TBH, with those sorts of shifts I'd be making excuses too LOL
 
If you do it long term you can adapt, but if they hit you sporadically then your body just gets beat

That's true mate, but really I should just be a bit more disciplined.
 
Today's session was decent, felt quite strong.
 
Deadlift: 4 x 67, 87, 107
15" Block Pulls: 4 x 107, 117, 117, 122
Chest Expander: 22 reps
Chins: 9 reps
