Alright, I'm still here LOL. I got majorly sick on Thursday but finished out the work week and then died for the weekend. Went back to work today and feel better now. Even got to the gym.
I also have my appt. with the Endo this Wed (my doc called the office when he found out it was 2 months away) so hopefully that'll help things out a bit. Thanks for all your posts and support!!

Great w/o tonight. Another major PR on GM's. I have trouble getting into the groove a bit going down when it's heavy though. It's a struggle, it's like my body is saying "Are your crazy?"
The walkouts felt like they were going to crumple me. I'd like to be doing walkouts with 500 so 405 feels light to me when the time comes.

How is you technique on the good mornings? depth? arc int he back? form? I like to set the pins at my belly button hight and come down and touch on them to make sure my depth is consistent. I only ask because if you are doing 305lb good mornings 405 on your back for walk outs should feel like nothing.
Thanks Angel and Gary 
If she's a pretty nurse I can't promise anything though Gary

My technique is pretty good. I go to just above parellel (flexability). I keep the arch in my lower back but I think as it gets heavier my upper back rounds a bit. I set the pins also and get to about 2 inches above it when I go down.P-funk said:
I think the 405 feels so bad because of placement, I'm not comfortable with it, and I think I naturally bend over a bit to keep the weight from falling behind me but I don't know what to do about that.
Rocco....glad to see you havent' fallen off the face of the earth...I've been thinking about you and hope your doing well....
P.S...nice workout

Yeah, I guess it's good and it's bad. I feel like he won't be able to really tell me anything tomorrow and we won't know anything defintive for a few weeks until I have my blood redrawn so what's the point? But then again I could use the reassurance of just in case...Devlin said:

Great workout.
Your right the appoinment may be a little soon, but I'm sure the endo will be able to reassure you and give you focus as well as a treatment plan for recovery. Personally I'd say, as long as your thyroid is fully functional, which based on your T4 (it was slightly low, but not too bad) I'd say you should rebound quickly.

Try them Angel, you'll feel your obliques like never before .
Aggghhhhh. I'm so pissed right now. Shoulder pain up my ass in the gym tonight. Nice, frest onset!! And I've been fucking taking things easy in my training, not going to failure, not doing a ton of volume etc...
I can't go through this again. If it was a different problem, alright let's do it. But I'm so tired of my fucking shoulder.
I don't know what I'm going to do now. Some thoughts.....A 10 x 3 routine by Chad Waterbury, Back to Oly lifting (I never felt anything wrong with my shoulder doing that), or maybe I'll just fall off the face of the earth and be finished with it. As you can tell I'm in an bit of a bad mood right now!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!
I don't remember, have you ever had your shoulder operated on ? Is it rotator or something else ? Mine was rotator and mine has been like new since 2002 . I vote get it fixed before it gets so bad that it can't be fixed .
Just my .02 Rocco . OIh and yes I could tell you are pissed
Thanks Gary. It's never been operated on, but I've never been told it's needed it.gwcaton said:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!

Shoulder injuries do suck, but don't let it discourage you. Look how awesome you're doing - 305 for GMs. Wow. That's just amazing. I mean I can do SLDLs with some reasonable weight, but the bar is resting on your back and you're bending over with it. Much harder IMO. Great job and keep up the good work! Don't even think about quitting for one second; you've come too far to stop now.
rest. ice. repeat.
try and get ice on it 2-3 times per day for 20min a clip.
some NSAIDs can also help.
rest rest rest....no upper body for atleast 7 days.
i always felt like icey/hot made my shoulder feel pretty good.

I agree with the doctor advice. Check it out, find out what's wrong, and weigh your options.
Thanks guys, but the problem is I've BEEN going to doctors for the past 11 fucking years and all I ever hear them say is either bursitis, tendonitis or inflamed rotator cuff. I'M SICK OF IT!!!! I JUST WANT TO DO WHAT I'M FUCKING PASSIONATE ABOUT AND LOVE TO DO. What's so hard about that?!?!? I get nowhere with doctors.
And what really sucks is Patrick says take off upper body for 7 days. That would be fine but I think it's the Squats initially hurting my fucking shoulder from how far I have to move my hands back to grip the bar. So where does that leave me?!? Nowhere.......Just chop my fucking arm off and I'll be done with it.

So are you saying that it's a flexibility issue?
Rocco32 said:
yea, i was coming back to post....no back squats but you beat me to it. They can be pretty brutal on the rotator cuff too.
Take the next week and try and do more deadlifts or some trap bar squats if you have one. The other great thing would be a safety squat bar if you can get one of them.
tendonitis is tough...it could be fine and feel good and then one thing and it can flare up. Make sure you are icing imediatly after you workout!! Like when you are drinking you shake. Don't wait till you get home or later in the day...it has to be right after the workout. Just get ice on it to keep it from flaring up....may want to wait before that hot shower too.
stretch stretch stretch....If it is rotator cuff then you really want to stretch and loosen up the shoulder capsule to give yourself some room to move. That is probably why the snatches weren't bothering your shoulder. They were probably just what you needed, you were so tight!!
