Juggernaut Update

The third week of the Juggernaut Method is also known as the realization week. You execute an 'as many reps as possible' for the last set, which is 10lb heavier than your prior 10rep max. I've only done the third week for two lifts so far. They are the Military Press and the Squat. I was happier with my squat performance (15 reps).

The reason I haven't been able to complete the third week is because I've given in to injury in the shoulder. It's a rotator cuff muscle that is blown out -  the one you use for overhead movements. I kept lifting despite the shoulder being out because I felt strong in other planes of movement. But I've decided now to wait it out until I'm 100%. It's been a week since then, and will be about half a week to a week longer if I'm lucky. I've been working on abs and arms in the meantime.
