Although no piriformis pain whatsoever lower back felt completely tired on deadlift. Maybe the power cleans... Have to try and lower the weights on cleans or skip them next week to see if theres any change here.

On the chins i was trying to lower slowly so i dont get elbow pain again... Definitely felt discomfort in right shoulder! This is nothing new here though... If my shoulders are fatigued from chest/shoulder work like they are now, this is bound to happen. It was a bit shock return on friday for my shoulders and will have to see next week how they will manage on chins.

Straight-leg deadlift

Pain eased up here felt like this unwinded my hip and back muscles...
Not really a good workout and its really frustrating to get rid of problems just to get them replaced with another ones...sigh. Before i left gym i foamrolled hard on problems areas which eased things up alot. Maybe i should roll the problem areas before i workout and after aswell each time i do something.

Shoulders

Went to doctor about my hips issues and low back pain and got a free physiotherapist examination today at work. Some hard stuff to hear... I shouldnt do regular squat or deadlift at all.
My glutes(and all the hip muscles), hip flexor, low back. quads, hams all so tight that i should stretch them every day and before and after workouts. Low back doesnt stretch beoynd flat which is bad and she measured my side bend i have the lowest score i have no mobility.
My deep abdominals and side abs are weak also and she told me to do them every time with legs raised on chair to avoid using legs and hip flexors. For deep abdominals she told me to do planks but need to have very good form while doing them.
As for program i will not be doing regular squat and deadlift at all. With the inflexibilies im unable to perform back squat the way they should be. She told me that straight leg deadlift looked good and front squat looked ok. These two will be what i will do from now on and some single leg squats even though i need to careful on the form as she said when i go too deep my form breaks.

9.3 had to update. Even though i had no pain while doing bench(and i started light...) now the right shoulder feels like complete sh*t sigh... I think alot of it has to do with not recovering from ovh-day but this is just incredible... Even dips are fine as long as i only press once a week. Think it might turn into 531 3-day split pretty quickly :) another thing i noticed i was tired the whole week from doing consecutive days.
10.3 Update on shoulder. Did some hard rolling on painful spots under front and rear deltoid with a hard plastic ball. Completely relieved the pain and arms feel like they move more freely. That damned rotator getting tight...
