how the hell do you do 60 and 70 lbs dumbbell laterals?

any chance you can video record it and I can critique your form? =) I like this log better because its easier to follow. not all cluttered up

Pretty much like Derek is doing them here, i don't pause at the bottom though. They're definitely not perfect form but i feel them a ton more like this. He does his a little slower than mine too.
[video=youtube;6w2IYcd2l4Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w2IYcd2l4Y&feature=channel_video_title[/video]

For the 70's i have my elbows bent to 45 degrees. The straighter i keep my arms the more tension I've felt on my elbows and my shoulder joint instead of the delts. When i have elbows bent it honestly doesn't make it that much easier, for ex. 40lbs straight armed hurts my joints more than 40lbs bent arms but i feel it only in my delts with them bent.

Yeah this one is definitely a lot cleaner i'm glad i kept this one going. :)
 
On another note Derek has a sick physique for being natural. Honestly probably one of my favorites now. Kevin Frasard lives right in my town and is huge, It was pretty much him vs Derek in the NPC Northern Michigan and Derek had him.

Hell yeah man, His FDB is seriously nuts. His arms are honestly dwarfed by his torso BUT they have the perfect shape so it all still flows really good. I really want to achieve something around the areas of his physique before i think about AAS. To be even more honest that'd probably be more of where i'd want to be. Could compete in a natural organization or something like that.

I'm thinking more of the same. His physique give me so much motivation. I was really sad to see Marc leave Scivation. But now Marc gives more updates and vids lol. So I guess it's a win win for me. I like Derek's workouts too. He uses a lot of bands and stuff I wish I had access to... but being in Japan and having only a home gym kinda hinders that... ah, one more year till I move back to Hawaii.

He really does have a STRONG physique. And he can deadlift, squat and bench an INSANE amount of weight.

Yeah man i might take his approach to training soon, 2x a week short but intense sessions (or for me less than 2 hours lol) . That'd seem like it would work very very well for me considering i can smash PR's every workout. If i could do that 2x a week i could technically get better results...

Anyways yeah my gym doesn't have bands or chains either :( sucks, i want to go to powerhouse soon. I never realized Marc left either! Wasn't he the owner though? I honestly believe that heavy weights + knowledge of your body to prevent injury ='s Best results possible.

ve competed in "natural" organizations like the NGA. I can tell you NGA says they are natural however they allow everything over the counter(like hdrol) and the polygraph questions just ask about illegal hormones so in essence in some natural organizations like the nGa and others you can use hormones as long as they are over the counter and as long as your urine test comes back clean. not to burst anyones natural bubble. =)

the Ifpa is more strict at least when I followed there rules from 2006-2009

Thanks for that John! Yeah i did read up that Derek might have ran a cycle or two of a PH because he says if AAS were legal he would use them he just doesn't like the risks so he "might" use some of the legal ones.

Either way that guys shape is awesome!

Part of me wants to see how insane i can become without every touching anything DS/AAS...

and there's another part of me that just wants to see how insane i can get with it..

I need to give myself more time first though, i want to be 100% sure i have my training top notch. Still tipping between doing sessions 2x a week with less sets (around 1.5hours instead of 2.5-3) and just keeping it how it is. I guess i'll never know until i try right?

The high volume is working for you so i'd stick to it. Specially if you wanna eat !! :D

Yeah, but i still want to try it eventually and see if i progress better. If i trained that way i would be working out 9-12 hours/week instead of 8-10 hours/week like i currently do so technically i'd have to eat even more :) but the extra days off really do help too. Idk i'll just think about it for a while.

Wow, that is impressive, I cannot, nor do I want to go that heavy anymore, I mean I don't think I've ever used more than 40Lbs, but now, I don't go any heavier than 30Lbs even if my shoulder is feeling great, I do a lot lighter weight now, the big difference between the way he does them and the way I do them is I don't go all the way down and I go higher at the top, maybe only 10 degrees higher each arm, but I control the weight and go much slower, not saying one is better than the other, but for me, the lighter slower way is easier on my shoulder girdle and therefore is the way I do it!

How do you feel about the impingement when doing laterals with an internally rotate humerus (palms facing down) at the top of the ROM, and especially with a high ROM, versus keeping humerus neutral (thumb up)?

Personally, I keep my shoulder blades squeezed together and only bring the weight up to lower chest height when my humerus is internally rotated. I also don't go over 25-30 lbs.

I understand exactly what you are saying and I think that is a great idea as well, only I go with a larger ROM by bringing them about 10 degrees above my shoulders and it doesn't hurt me at all as long as I keep my weights between 25-30Lbs just like you and go for higher reps! But I do agree if it were hurting me doing it the way I do, I would have to do it the safest way which is keeping the humerus in a neutral position.

I wouldn't lie to you guys, my form isn't textbook though. It get's really difficult to balance myself too when doing both arms at a time. I still am considering using 1 arm. Until i started doing these with more elbow bent and heavier weight my shoulders barely grew with perfect form/high reps and drop sets, and for the first time in my lifting career i'm seeing them cap out and looking big. Happy with that!
 
Leg Day!! 9/6/11
Duration: 2 ish hours?? Didn't really keep track haha
Mood: EXTREMELY focused
Energy: More than enough
Other notes: Had a sick session today, Started using my weight belt and it made a huge difference. Didn't effect my back pump at all, i like lower back pumps! Hamstrings are getting a lot looser to the point where my squat is starting to shoot up since my form is on my legs more now then my lower back like before.
Lifts:
Rack Pulls-
225 x 12
315 x 5
385 x 7 *PR* +20Lbs
405 x 2 *PR* +40Lbs, Set was done AFTER 385, Next workout gonna go for 405 x 8-10!
Notes: After these sets instead of being wipe out i was PUMPED UP, I was so happy it was like a high.
Barbell Back Squats- Squatting to parallel again but now i have my ham's loosened up so my form is WAY better. Literally felt it all in my legs, was really happy with it!
225 x 8 *PR*
245 x 5 *PR*
255 x 4 *PR*
265 x 5 *PR*
Notes: Honestly these sets were a walk in the park, I couldn't believe how much better i felt with these! There was a time i did half rep squats and was up to almost 400Lbs, i wonder if i'm "regaining" the leg strength from that. Even though my depth wasn't as low as now it feels just too easy.
Leg Press- Tried to emphasize my quads as much as possible on this exercise. Few sets i held the last rep short of lockout for about 10-15 seconds.
380 x 10
470 x 10 *PR*
560 x 10 + Negative *PR*
650 x 10 + Negative *PR*
Notes: Found out a flaw which made me 10x stronger on these. I was going down too low and putting the weight onto my lowerback pretty much. With the shortened ROM my butt never came off the seat like before and my quads burned 10x more.
45 Degree Seated Calve Raises/Standing Calf Raises- Did a circuit of 45 degree and standing calve raises today, supersets one right after the other then a 30 second rest then restart. Stretching them to death!
90/60/30 x 6 Circuits, For some reason i wanted to go lighter and do 20+ reps per set + drops. WOW this made a difference, calves on fire and HUGE pump. For a couple minutes i literally had freaky calves! They're without a doubt growing and i hope these higher reps + stretching are that perfect layout. We'll see!
Lying Leg Curls- Since high reps worked so well for my calves i decided to try it with my hamstrings, Worked like a charm.
75 x 10
75 x 12
75 x 18
75 x 26 *PR* +10 Reps
60 x 15
Immediately followed by stretching hams.
Leg Extensions-
300 x 5 *PR*
300 x 18 *PR*
325 x 15 *PR* Rest/Pause
Drop 4x (Forgot weight)
Notes: The drops had my quads on fire, literally had to limp around for a little bit.

Looking forward to your pictures -you said you were posting in your other log

Not trying to jump on you and saying your nutrition is off or anything. Just wondering if your really making mainly lean muscle gains. 9 lbs on two weeks sounds like more fat than anything from a trained male -unless your glycogen stores were real low and they bounced back which you have been going higher calories for quite a while now right? Dont mean to come off as a smartass-I just know my science in bodybuilding

You said your looking leaner so that is always good

I'm gonna say it's most likely a lot of water to be honest as well as glycogen because those first few days i literally watched my muscles "fill" out and my pumps became a ton better. I'm not an insane amount leaner but i can see it, It's a tighter feeling especially around my ab area. Could just be from all my muscles filling out and pulling the skin tighter. If i don't make lean muscle gains putting +40lbs in 6 days onto my rack pull and +20-30Lbs on my Reverse grip incline bench press then i'll be really surprised ;)

Even funnier, Jay cutler uses 70's while in EXTREMELY low calories (Olympia prep so probably less than 2500 calories and low/no carbs for an almost 300lb lean muscle monster). So that's pretty much light weight for him, 70 for me was tough as nails i had to fight for it while jay just "struggles" a little bit with a few weird faces and grunts haha

Good work today in gettin the cals in.


On a side note jay said in a recent interview he eats 1000g carb and 500g protein a day on off season and 500g carbs and 600g protein dieting. The 500g carbs is a low day. He said he carb cycles lol. Nuts dude.

-60 x 10
-40 x 8 *PR* +2 Reps
-80 x ?
Drop set to
-100/-120/-140/-160
Wide-Grip Pull Downs- Some of these lighter sets i did concentrating on my teres area, This is done keeping the scapula relaxed in the stretched position and doing the pull down. Give it a shot right now, you can literally feel the area contract. This is what add's width to your back because your latissimus dorsi wrap around those muscles which give the appearance of a wider flaring lats. Thickness for me comes with close grip pull ups and rows.
60 x 16
80 x 16
100 x 10
100 x 20
120 x 10

205 x 8 *PR*
205 x 8 *PR*
Notes: Tried to squeeze as much as possible on these. Was really challenging but now i know why these are so renown for being a great exercise.
EZ-Bar Preacher Curls-
50 x 6 Close Grip
50 x 10 Normal Grip *PR* +3 Reps
50 x 10 Normal Grip *PR* +3 Reps

It's all good man i've been quit busy myself too. I like hearing that i'm inspiring people that makes training a lot more gratifying for me. :)

Honestly, the anatomy part is almost necessary sometimes because you want to know what you want to develop to achieve that complete physique look. Back for some reason to me is a body part i want to have ahead of the rest of my physique too so i try a lot of different things with back now, That pull down with scapula relaxed works the rear delts a good amount too but as long as your maintaining a good arch in your back it works well with hitting that "armpit" area, trick is to not use too heavy of weight because it puts your lats almost in the full stretched position.

Let me know if you like them!

Leg Day!! 9/6/11
Duration: 2.5 Hours
Mood: Not as focused as usual but still made it work.
Energy: I think the heavy weights sap my energy levels because i felt just wiped out after this session.
Other notes: Later on today i picked up some water/sweat proof headphones so NOW i can listen to MY music instead of this annoying R&B/Club music all the time. Should really help me get PR's. Wish i had them for legs today :(
Lifts:
Rack Pulls-
275 x 6
275 x 20 *PR* +8 Reps
385 x 1
405 x 5 *PR* +3 Reps, something significant about this PR is that last week i pretty much Rest/Paused to get 2 reps but this set i pumped 3 out before using some pausing at the bottom.
Notes: The 275 PR was really really tough, honestly even more difficult then the set with 405.
Barbell Back Squats-
225 x 6
265 x 2
265 x 8 *PR* +3 Reps
Leg Press- Tried to emphasize my quads as much as possible on this exercise. Few sets i held the last rep short of lockout for about 10-15 seconds.
700 x 10 *PR*
700 x 10 *PR*
45 Degree Seated Calve Raises/Standing Calf Raises- Did a circuit of 45 degree and standing calve raises today, supersets one right after the other then a 30 second rest then restart. Stretching them to death!
75/60 x 6 Circuits = 12 Sets, Did a lot higher reps today.
Lying Leg Curls-
90 x 14
90 x 20 *PR* +5 Reps
90 x 25 *PR* +10 Reps
Immediately followed by stretching hams.
Leg Extensions-
340 x 8
340 x 8
340 x 8
340 x 8

Other Exercises:
Pull-Ups Overhand Grip- To ensure i get proper recovery i did not take these to failure. Pretty much what i'm trying to do is see if i can get more growth out of a few sets of basic exercises like pushups/pullups that would be done 4 days after i train. 2 Days should be sufficient enough considering these sets have not been taken to failure and aren't extremely intense. No negative emphasis as well to prevent too much breakdown.
All PR's, First time doing these at a bodyweight of about 230Lbs!! Can't wait for Back/Bi's now.

Hahah dude! Thats me already. Man I can't wait till I have a real gym to go to... Even the ones here in Japan SUCK!! Not a lot of weights, no up to date machines at all. Everything is tailored for old folks wanting to retain their ability to walk....

Oh man..... i would literally go crazy, BUT if i had a power rack, 500lbs of free weights with an olympic bar or two and an adjustable bench i'd probably be set :D

Gotta do what you gotta do man!!
I'm going to make it work regardless. That's why I had to adapt a more strength orientated routine using only core lifts. Though I would love to have access to cables so I could do some standing weighted ab movements, or some hypers/reverse hypers. The barbell for now will have to work hehe.

It's a challenge but it's worth it!!
