Bench/DL/Bench/DL Day

Thanks Mike for helping me set up my programming again! I think I'm on the right track, and for anyone that wants to throw in a bone, feel free, I'm all ears. I'm definately interested in seeing how this pays off at the end of the cycle.

Bench/Squat/Bench/Squat

My back was still sore from the DL on Wednesday. I'm not sure if I should start pulling once every other week or what. I really haven't hard coded that into my macro plan for the moment - does anybody have any suggestions?

Just suck it up. Don't be an "every-other-week" deadlifter.

I did some hang cleans the other day, and I don't know what happened, but my left shoulder and elbow flexor were killing me today, and made it really hard for benching.

Bench/Squat/Bench/Squat Day

Alright, this is up for anyone - I've been having problems with my left shoulder, I'm not sure if its the rotator or what, but its been messing with my head when I've been benching. It started hurting about a week ago, and its not bad anymore, but its just enough to screw up my mental game. I didn't get much sleep in last night, and my form was all over the place on squats. I'm not sure what happened today. It was f*d up. Today's work sucked. Meant to ask if anybody has any suggestions for the shoulder...

Today was a great lift. Lots of work in. I fixed my pulling form, keeping my butt low, and the pulls were so much easier. I definately see some good results coming from this.

Today was alright. A lot going on in life right now, causing a little mental disruption with lifting. I seem to be missing my squat form, but I was working hard on correcting it today, and I think I'm back on the right track. Hopefully I'll see a better improvement on Monday. I didn't hit my last exercise though, my back was really killing me to day.

So, I've found that my squat form has considerably digressed, and as a result, I'm having much difficulty in putting up weight. I've looked into the problem, and I think that I'm leaning forward, causing my knees to come up over my feet - which would greatly reduce my lifting capabilities. Time do drop some weight and work on the form I suppose.

For anyone reading, I'd like any response that you might have to this: two weeks from now, I'll be away from the gym for approximately three weeks, but I'll have about 2 days to hit the gym for every 4 days that I cannot. In this case, how should I continue my training, or at least mitigate loss of strength? And, when I resume training, should I do as I had previously planned, or how should I restart the lifting engine? any insights helpful...
