Lost.....

The Low bar back squat (LBBS) is lost!  Since November when we attended the Starting Strength Coaches Certification I had the LBBS down.  It felt right, as a matter of fact it felt like the only way to squat correctly.  Enter the Outlaw Way and Catalyst Athletics.  First I changed my programming to strict O-lifts with two conditioning days a week with the normal accessory work of front squats and high bar back squats (HBBS).  After getting a solid base of O-lifts under my belt, our programming changed the Outlaw Way (off season), got to do a lot of HBBS here, and it felt good.  I liked it.  With that, we are on our third bias (gymnastics), so I decided last night that I was going to put some work in on my LBBS and move some weight.  Long story short that was not the case.  I couldn't get it right, as the weight went up, I felt like I was going forward, it was just a mess.  So, I went back to HBBS and did 7 sets of 3 working up to a 3 RM, my sets looked like this:  225/245/255/275/300/315/325.  I used 225-255 as  my warm up sets because I didn't feel like doing a very thorough warm up "dick dance" so I decided to squat :).  After that, like Scott my left shoulder has been bothering me (noticed in CF Williamsburg B4B Oct '11) and I have noticed a huge imbalance during snatches and jerks on my left side.  I decided to do 7 sets of 3 in the shoulder press to find my 3RM there as well.  My sets looked like this:  115/125/130/135/14/145/150.  Those pretty much sucked.  Weak sauce, I will say the grind was only on the left side.  I'm going to keep a regular pressing regimen going and see if I can catch it up.
