Yesterday was shoulder day. Didn't get chance to post on both forums, had a long day with inspections going on at work sorry! Still feeling the insane pumps form Mesomorph and strength increase with the Nitrate. Although I can't seem to drop weight on the scale, staying the same or a lb or two less, I feel a big difference in muscle mass and with my arms def.
Machine Shoulder Preess 125 lbs x 8,8,8,8
Dumbell Shoulder presses 50lbs 8,8,8 up from 45lbs last week!!!
behind the neck pull downs warm up 100 lbs x 10 - 125 lbs x 8,8,8
standing db laterial raised started with 15 lbs to see since first time doing these in several years. Did 10 reps with ease, so moved up 20 lbs x 8,8,8,
I don't know why 20 lbs on those seem not touch but I could feel it even though not much weight. Is this normal to be weaker at first on these?
Lateral raises are one of the hardest shoulder workouts. The further away a resistance is from the point of force generation, the more torque is required to move the weight. People with long arms have an especially hard time with lateral raises. There's a biomechanical lever system working thoroughly against you on this movement, so don't feel bad that you struggle with it.
