Shoulders :woohoo:

I swear no matter what day it is, every time I get to the gym I always just wanna run over and do Military Presses first!

I am with ya, its hard not to rationalize in my head to change the routine just to get to shoulders. It is a bit :fool2:
 
Finally got back to it today

Cardio
25 minutes 15% 4.3

Shoulders and Traps
Seated DB press (5 sets) 90lbs 12 reps

Side laterals (4 sets) 40lbs and 30 lbs 10-12 reps
BB Shrugs (5 sets) 365lbs 12 reps
Upright Rows (4 sets) 105lbs 8-10 reps

I felt pretty good considering neing sick. I am very fatigued right now but am pleased with the workout. Will be heading back tomorrow for a heavy back day with deads/rack pulls. Also, cant wait as Friday is my last day of work till 1/2 due to holiday. Woo hooo more free time for the gym
 
No cardio today as was short on time, but here is how it went on back

back
Rack Pulls (8 sets) 455lbs 6 reps
TBar Rows (6 sets)
Incline Shrugs (4 sets) 70lbs 15 reps
Reverse Close GripPulldowns (4 sets) 165-180lbs

felt good, was happy with teh rack pulls as they are always a rough one. Focus and energy were good. Still feeling the effects of being sick but it is going away nicely

I was going to make a perverse comment about most of my weight being down there, but I decided not to be too cheesy:rofl:
 
Ok got in a full workout today

cardio
35 minutes 15% 4.3

arms I tried something new I was reading about in terms of my grip on BB curls, called the fake grip. Jay Cutler reccommended it where the thumb is on the underside.
BB Curls (6 sets) 105lbs 10 reps
In front hammer curls (4 sets) 50lbs 10 reps
Incline curls Facing bench (4 sets) 35lbs 15 reps

OVerhead DB extensions (4 sets) 80-90lbs 11 reps
1-arm reverse pulldowns (4 sets) 50lbs 12 reps

I felt good, sweating like an animal, and weighed in at 3:30pm on a full stomach at only 222lbs. That is phenomenal
 
Cardio
40 minutes 14% 4.3

Shoulders
Seated Press (8 sets) 225 6 reps and 4 reps
Front 45 raises (4 sets) 12 reps
Big Set side laterals 40,30,25,15,5lbs to failure 2x
Upright rows (4 sets) 115 8 reps
Rear cable pulls (4 sets) 50 lbs 8-10 reps

Felt good, not as strong as I would have liked, but fairly solid. Weighed in at 221lbs again, however I moved another spot on my weight belt so that is better than dropping lbs. Will be back this afternoon for abs and more cardio, gotta beat Irish Cannon in our contest. Pics will be up tomorrow!!!!
 
HEre was yesterday afternoon

abs
150 ball crunches
150 side crunches

cardio

I felt very strong, will be heading back this afternoon for legs. Also, since i am off this week I will add in another leg day as a double on Wednesday, those f'ers are going to grow damn it. Morning weigh in was 221 fully dressed. Pics later today
 
Now is your chance to really get ahead of me. I've got family in town for Christmas and I know my diet schedule and training schedule will be screwed with this entire week. Not to mention that I've been so completely screwed with psychologically from poker this week. It's been a rough one.

On the bright side, I finally get to meet my nephew. He's 5 months old, so I'm real excited. My sister and brother-in-law are flying in today.

this is more important than it all. Congratulations on that man, and enjoy every minute. My 7 year old nephew considers me his biggest hero, he is a trip and a half always tells me my arms are pregnant
 
So here is the deal. In a loving conversation with my wife, she toldme last night that no matter how hard I try, my legs will always be chicken-esque. love marriage!!!! So I bypassed afternoon cardio went straight to leg destruction

legs
Squats (10 sets) 275lbs 10 reps 225 12,15, 10 reps
Leg extensions (4 sets) 225lbs 18 reps
Hack Squat (5 sets) 315lbs 15 reps

Lying leg curls (4 sets) 120lbs 15 reps
Seated Calf Raises (4 sets) 145lbs 15 reps
Standing calf raises (4 sets) 200lbs 20 reps
Leg Extensions (4 sets) 185lbs 20 reps

Well, due to her comments I cannot walk and wanna take a 3-day nap. However, they are going to grow, and by the time the soarness wears off, I will hit them again on Wednesday
 
Ok, here are the new pics as promised. In pic 3 I was amazed I could see abs, didnt know I even had those. This is two weeks in and feeling good. Please keep in mind that this is after 2 workouts and eating all day

I have friends just like this, kinda sad. Take a pill, eat like a pig and wonder why they are still heavy.

And to all out there reading, happy holidays and merry christmas. I will check in tomorrow with a little Christmas cardio, gotta make room for my wifes special roast beef dinner:food:

Your doing awesome bro..

Merry Christmas to you and your family, hope you guys really enjoy the holidays.

thanks man

hope you and yours enjoy as well. my daughter is presently running around with all her stuff from "Santa"
 
Very basic jog this am. About 1/2 hour, was getting a bit too cold for me. Will be back to a double tomorrow of shoulders am and legs pm. Psyched for the time off from work right now
 
How long were you sick Reaper? Did you skip any workuts? I'm fighting something real bad right now. Body aches, migranes, super stiff neck, sore throat...It's pretty bad. I'm debating skipping legs tomorrow but I usually don't do that unless I'm deathly ill, but I'm feeling it might be good for me. If nothing else, I just wont take the LR tomorrow. I don't know how that would effect me when I'm feeling this way.

for me it lasted about 4 days, and it was as you described. my wife has it now. I missed one day of cardio and abs and felt better. you might just need a rest day to calm the body down
 
Weighed in at 222lbs this am which I thought was good after some holiday eating

Cardio

30 minutes 15% 4.3

Shoulders
Arny Presses (6 sets) 70-75lbs 10-12 reps
Seated side laterals (8 sets) 35 & 20 lbs to failure 4x each
Seated DB shrugs (5 sets) 85-95lbs 12-15 reps
Reverse peck deck (2 sets)120lbs 8 reps

On the second set felt a small pinch in my right shoulder so I called it a day. Will give shoulders a rest till Saturday as usual. I have already had 3 shoulder operations, no need to create a further issue. Otherwise felt pretty good. Will go back later today for more cardio and legs
 
ok I went back this afternoon a little later than I wanted to. Ended up going out with the wife and daughter and got caught in day after christmas nonsense. Also, I just got the new MD and was reading on squatting from Kai Greene, so my squats this afternoon were his wide stance, toes out

cardio
25 minutes 15% 4.1

legs
Leg Extensions (4 sets) 150lbs 20 reps
Squats (10 sets) 275lbs 8 reps 225lbs 12-15 reps
Front Squats (5 sets) 135-155lbs 10-12 reps
Standing Calf Raises (5 sets) 200lbs 10-12 reps
Seated calf raises (5 sets) 140-190lbs 7-15 reps

I started really fatiguing at the end, but I feel a great pump in my quads right now. I am liking hitting legs twice a week, hopefully a shred of growth at some point
 
weighed in at 221 this am, which was a nice fluctuation

cardio
15% 4.3 35 minutes

back
Front Pulldowns (5 sets) 240lbs 8 reps, 225lbs 10 reps
HS TBar (6 sets) 3 45's to failure
2arm DB rows (4 sets) 55lbs 12 reps
Back Extensions (4 sets) 170lbs 12 reps
Rear facing CG pulldowns (4 sets) 170lbs 10 reps

Felt good, but a bit tired. Was happy with overall workout however, still sweating like a hog. Will go back later tonight for cardio and abs
 
got back this evening. here is a look
abs
200 ball crunches (for some reason these really seem to hit for me better than weighted crunches)
200 (each side) side crunches

cardio
35 minutes 15% 4.3

really hoping to continue tightening up while I have LR left. I have about 1 week left so I am hopful to see some last charge to "sexiness"
 
loving the 2 a days right now. Feeling good. Here is this am's recap

cardio
35 minutes 15% 4.3

arms
alternating curls (4 sets) 45-50lbs 10 reps
DB extensions (4 sets) 80-90lbs 10 reps
BB curls (6 sets) 115 8 reps, 85 12 reps
Skull crushers (4 sets) 120lbs 10 reps
Hammer curls (4 sets) 50lbs 12 reps
Rope pulldowns (4 sets) 110-130lbs 10-12 reps
1-arm machine preacher bench (4 sets) 60lbs 10 reps
Overhead rope extensions (4 sets) 150lbs 12 reps

feel really good today. I bypassed dips due to the slight pain in my right shoulder. I have already had it examined months ago and know the issue, but the only option is more surgery and I am not going that route. For the surgery I need, I would need 8 months of rehab at least, and I am not doing that. Damn those years of wrestling and football, should have listened to my father as a kid and just focused on my lifting
 
looking good reaper i can definetly see some more definition in your shoulders and your midsection. much difference four pounds makes. keep up the good work.

thanks man, I have been at it hard. Here was my afternoon workout

cardio
45 minutes 15% 4.4MPH (sweating like a lunatic)

calves
standing calf raises (5 sets) 220-260lbs 15-20 reps
rotary calf extensions (5 sets) 250-270lbs 20 reps

really wanted to get a little extra work on the calves. damn chicken legs, however they looked good with a solid pump during hte 10 sets


also, really want to win the contest as they said the winner gets more free stuff
 
also got good news that the gym is open both monday and tuesday for 2 a days woo hooo
 
so you do a slow jog for 45 on 4.4 speed? i do a moderate jog on 6.0 with a 4.0 incline? idk what that equates to but do you think my plan is good?

cardio:
20 min speed:6.0 incline:4.0
walk for 5 min at speed of 3.5
run for the last five minutes at 6.0

thats my cardio but im wondering, if im still a little sore in my upper body(just a litle sore i can still lift without it hurting) should i continue with upper body or give it some more time to heal? ive been off of my upper body for a day now.

to me it depends on what you are doing on your upper body. My split is different than others, but if my bi's are sore I can still hit shoulders or chest dependant upon the day.

With regard to your cardio, whatever works. For me, I like the rapid walk at the highest incline, I burn the most calories that way. I sometimes will up the speed and jog @ 15, but since I have spoecial inserts in my shoes (yes I am evidently old) I like the rapid walk.
 
made the mistake this am of not eating prior to lifting, got up later than expected. So was not feeling my best when I got in, which can be seen in my weights, was certainly not my strongest

cardio
35 minutes 15% 4.3

shoulders
Seated Press (8 sets) 225lbs 6 reps, 245lbs 2 reps
Side laterals (10 sets) 35,25,15,10,5 lbs to failure 2x
Rear laterals (4 sets) 35lbs to failure
Upright rows (4 sets) 115-135lbs 8-10

Will come back later for more cardio and abs. I am beat now, amazing what missing a meal will do

I think a lot of it is psychological as well. Last year I was up from 10pm until 5:30am playing a poker tournament online in the computer lab at my school. I went straight from the lab to the gym and had one of the best workouts of my life.
 
well went back around 4:15 for a little extra cardio. Decided to change it up a bit

15 minutes 15% 6.5
