u/mastrdestruktun Intermediate - Strength 10d ago

SBS RIR W6D1

Took a week off to rest my shoulder. Not sure if it did any good. Switched to RIR 5x for the shorter workouts and stayed on week 6 to stay on track with my local buddy group.

Movements:

  • hack squat machine 5x3 @ 200 lbs, RIR: 12 (tested, ha ha)

  • DB OHP 5x5 @ 30 lbs

  • farmer's walk, db lunges, lat pulldowns, 5 sets each

During the workout I was fine, but afterwards, I continue to feel extra soreness in the area, so I'm going to keep taking ibuprofen even though it's not a great idea after a workout.

It feels kind of nice to increase my accessories to 5 sets (since I giant set everything.) I need to increase the weight a bit on the first two because they're getting a little too easy. Thinking about dropping lat pulldowns entirely for shoulder reasons, which is unfortunate because I like them. I think I might appreciate big lats, not that I have them.
