Rotator cuff exercises before every session. They help quite a bit.

Save the straight arm push downs for a finisher. Bb rows with a normal and reverse grip as well to hit the lower lats. Db rows. Pull ups. Yates rows. All good stuff.

My workout normally looks something like

Pullups 4 sets to warm up the back
Barbell Rows or t bar rows
Db or hammer strength rows
Weighted Pulldowns
Straight arm push downs to finish

I do rack pulls at the end of my sessions sometimes but I hardly ever do deads and if I did do deads I would save them for the end before the push downs. Reason being they sap so much energy that can be utilized for the rest of the session and you don't HAVE to put our max effort on Deadlift to reap the benefits.

I'll probably get stones thrown at me but I would use deads on leg day and rack pulls on back day of you want to do those lifts. Deads use so much leg strength it only makes sense imo.

Take upright rows out if you are experiencing shoulder issues. What you can expect to gain from that exercise is not worth the damage it can do (impingement) if not performed correctly.

should i switch back to 1-handed upright row or drop it all together and substitute with something else?

Drop it allllllll together. If you don't get enough shoulder work from presses then dumbell front raises with a hammer grip are pretty easy on the joints.

will do. gotta re-edit my push day

bench
db press of sorts
db shoulder press (going to avoid overhead presses for now to not agitate the shoulder)
db front raises
lu raises
& whatever tricep work

looks good?

Looks good to me. If the db raises bother you try them with that hammer grip. Its the only way I do them now.

One more thing you can try to relieve some shoulder pressure is to not use barbell for presses. Replace it with DB and see what kind of effect that has on your shoulder.

thanks for the input, ill try it out on the next push day.

ill try to eliminate one variable at a time and see how that goes and if any more changes necessary in future.

I have a touch of shoulder bursitis and found that iForce Nutrition's Joint Help really helps reduce inflammation and pain. Definitely drop the upright rows. Search the forum and you will find a lot of posts about how damaging these can be if you have shoulder issues.

my kingdom for a cam with that clarity :sigh:
Cameras are quite inexpensive now, you can get a sony for about 100 bucks now. There are much better camera's out there but they are ok digitals and idiot proof. I am a camera idiot so that is great for me.

is not the $ issue (altho this freakin national show is gonna kill me with expense lol)..I just simply refuse to replace something that works fine, for all intents and purposes, am old-fashioned that way, and why I still drive a 15yr old BMW
not trying to be a pro photographer here, just would be nice in some instances (recent update pics for example) to be able to show everything correctly

indeed on the beamer, had this 740iL for yrs, 200k miles on it, looks great, runs great has been low-maintenance (relatively speaking)..altho they hold their value well, dealer would give me nowhere close to what it is really worth (and more importantly, for what it's worth to me, I cannot replace it comparatively in that price range, nowhere close)
lol on your government..everybody has issues these days..gas pretty salty over there tho isn't it? :sigh:

PH stano?

Why would you? Stano is mostly used to combat lethargy caused by methylated DS or PH, usually high dosed.
I've used it in the past along side a methylated PH.

Stano has in my honest opinion no other value, so I wouldn't take it in this case.

Stick to your cycle as planned, and be sure to have diet,training and recovery at it's best.

Stano has it's value in the harsh cycles, like superdrol which is/was known to cause lethargy.

Seen it used with epi and halodrol as well.

No worries, just ask....

yep yep, good stuff there as well as above ed - no need for stano on these products, and as you mentioned stano no value in building muscle..may make you a bit harder overall, about it

the other aspect here: many ppl use stano as their "test base", as you also mention. with their harsher methylated compounds..
I am using 1-Andro and 1-Alpha, for my test base ;)
this is a truer sense of the word, and use of a test base IMO, as stano is not a true test base, just acts in similar fashion to combat the issues with some particular compounds

A lot of people also use it because it converts to DHT which if running a wetter compound should keep water logging to a minimum and also keep the nips from getting out of control.

Obviously with 1andro or 1alpha these arent things you should have to worry about.

Like my fellow freaks have said though stano wouldnt add anything of significance to the cycle.
