I really have to watch the form when I do these. I normally go light with them.

yeah laterals always need to be paying attention to form.

have you ever had a rotator cuff injury Don, and if so how long did it take yours to heal up where you could really use it again like 80 % or better?

No I have been lucky. When I was young and stupid and thought I would be Arnold in a week I really hurt my back and had to take a long time off. I now know I will never be a bodybuilder so it is form, form and more form for me and for the most part I have been injury free. When I feel I have tweaked something I rest it. I know for you guys that are trying to do shows that may not always be possible but you seem to have a great approach to it John.

At least you can exercise now Don my friend.

Got a methylpredisone shot today in the bone. WQell he thinks he went into the bone, he wasn't entirely sure because The needed may not have been long enough due to my large shoulders, he needed try another needle I think it made it though. Hard to feel pain when we are used to tearing them muscles down anyways and with pain thats been there a year

anyways hes giving it six weeks to heal up then if not healed wants to go in with a camera. The dye injected MRI says a 2-3 mm tear which is nothing, he said going in is the much better than an MRI.

regardless I lifted decently heavy 240lbs=12x's on the barbell decline press and 90lbs=8x;s on the incline dumbbell press without pain.

will test some side laterals out in maybe a month and see if this shot has helped

Luckily I traded someone stoked, testopro and Hghpro for two tubs of the old recoverpro, I still like the old stuff. Word on the street is the updated stuff will be much better tasting and in all areas =)

I lovd de-loads give me a chance to put in more work in other areas of life and dare I say party a night with a few drinks.

Thank you. I plan on coming back and working my way into hitting it hard , then trying out my shoulder(lightly at first then working up every week in weight if it feels okay) and see how it responds.

Feb 1st 2010 30 minutes of some hard breathing cardio
 
Feb 2nd 2011 back, biceps

ended up playing showing a freind exercises and then playing a game of basketball with the 18 year olds and I did good! (I am 29) talk about cardio whew

Good luck with the deload John. Give them 18 yr olds hell on the court. My mind still knows how to deal with them but the body does not always follow suit.:dead:
 
yeah the rest of this week I am not doing anything not even cardio , Ill start back on Monday and I have to not train my shoulders for a while
 
Back, Traps (first week back from deload, easing in into it)

Lat Pulldown(underhand close grip) 170lbs=10x's, 180lbs=8x's
Neutral grip pull ups (body-weight)=7x's

Cable row 130lbs=6x's
One arm dumbbell row 90lbs=10x's
Deadlift 335=5x's

Barbell shrug 315=10x's and a good second hold at the top with good range of motion, not no half assed reps like I was doing with 405 earlier the past couple months.

Supplements
Glycobol-one 20 minutes pre post workout shake
RecoverPro- two scoops, one between a meal and one post-workout with shake
Maniac-one scoop pre workout

I plan on adding in a couple more more AI Sports supplements coming up this week and increase the Glycobol dose , however I like eating eggs and breakfast turkey suage so I dont know if taking a glycobol with this is a good idea for my body, some people can get away with it, I seem to respond better to glycobol with low to no fat content, I can only say what seems to work for myself, Ive seen people taking it with pizza!

In addition I am taking sesamin as a non stimulant fat burner

Nutrition I am paying attention to my body and if I think I need to reduce calories because I am not lean enough I do that. I am lean right now about 12 % so I am lean and I plan on reducing body fat down a tad by cutting out calories here and there. On the other hand on demanding days like back and legs calories are usually higher. not always though

* increasing strength by a rep or so or 5 lbs each time is the goal while staying lean is secondarly
 
Nice workout John...Hope the deload helped you!

Glycobol also treats me better with low fat meals.
 
always nice when you can add pounds or rep every workout.

reminds me of the guy with the calf, he carried it every day until he was carrying a full grown cow.



good luck, john.

I dont think it is a good idea to push every workout especially if something feels off. I do think it is important to get stronger in general though and if you can try and beat the log-book. Do not cause an injury though if something tells you that day go a bit lighter.

I dont quite understand it myself...how would lowering blood sugar with an hgh booster and amino acids help fat loss?

I am not saying it doesn't work I just am very scientific when it comes to bodybuilding

well, for one, higher growth hormone levels tend to equate to fat loss in general. Lowering blood sugar both allows for more lipolysis, and potentially better deeper sleep for even more growth hormone release. I think the primary value of the aminos is muscle retention, i'm not entirely sure.

Yah that makes sense... I have started using BCAA's and Glycobol with my HGHPro and Melantonin....
 
Definitely going to have to try using Glycobol at night now that i've just fired up the Swole Stack again.

I know taking carbs with it is a no-no as this will raise insulin levels too high, even the last meal before this need be no or very low carbs.

Bcaa's are pre-digested and they do raise insulin levels some, nothing like carbs though.

Glad you posted that Eric.

this is from wikipedia

Lipolysis (pronounced /lɨˈpɒlɨsɪs/) is the breakdown of lipids. It is the hydrolysis of triglycerides into free fatty acids followed by further degradation, into acetyl units, by beta oxidation. Ketones are produced, and are found in large quantities in ketosis (a state in metabolism occurring when the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies, which can be used by the body for energy). Lipolysis testing strips such as Ketostix are used to recognize ketosis.

The following hormones induce lipolysis: epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon, growth hormone, testosterone, and cortisol
