Thanks to all that responded it does help keep me motivated and strong. As far as the shoulder is concerned it has gotten better. I do have to still watch what I do when I bench and I make sure it is very warm before I start. That may be part of the issue in making progress, I probably do 15 to 20 repetitions at a lighter weight before I start with my program. But it helps with the stiffness and I will continue even if it cost me a few pounds on my total. The other issue I wanted to ask was about the deadlift. I have not been wearing a belt until I get to near 85% of my max. I also have to put the weight down gently because there is no place to set it down with more vigor. Even my 300 went up and down with very little noise and I didn't disturb the people doing abs 10 feet from me. So what do you people think, should I keep without wearing a belt the higher I lift and am I hurting myself by not allowing the weight to drop a little faster.

Oh Linda, thank you for your support, you asked about my other activities. They are varied, from golf to softball and disc golf plus I teach classes all week long. So yes my shoulders get a lot of use but I try to make sure I don't do too much.

Thanks again,

Being patient, not pushing too hard too soon is sometimes the most difficult part. :) As your DL gains in strength, your bench may improve also fyi... :)

I haven't really tried to go heavy yet with the squat and the 265 went up pretty easy. The only thing missing is the bench. I have a bit of tendinitis in the shoulder and have managed to do 200 for the max. I have had a lot of fun with the program and experimented with different exercises and rep schemes. What I have learned is that I can go heavier faster, and that it doesn't seem to overwhelm me nearly as much as when I first started. Aside from the shoulder I haven't had an injury yet (knock on wood) and hopefully I can continue to gain week by week and month by month. Thanks to my guides, Kevin McKnight and Todd Craig I have kept motivated and on track throughout my trek.
