That is great to hear! 1000lbs is a great goal.
I'm trying to go heavier again now that my shoulders have somewhat healed.
It's been a 4 year journey. Right now it's a matter of seeing if my
shoulders can handle the increased loads/volume required. It's been a
balancing act.
Interesting about cutting out a lot of warm up sets. My main problem is
giving myself enough time at the gym to get warmed up enough to move some
weight. I find that when I add 2-3 intermediate sets after my initial warm
up sets then I can go heavier than if I move to the heavier sets sooner.
This happens mostly on bench and squat.
