You always hit shoulders when you do chest press anyway.
If you want to focus on chest rather than on strong military press / bigger anterior deltoids I guess I'd leave it like you've written.
Although, I've read somewhere that pre-exhausting shoulders and lats can get more of pecs involved in...
So, this a**hat comes in. Loads every possible plate on smiths machine. Nearly 300kg. Sits on a bench in front of it and meditates for 10 minutes. Answers a phone call. Does three shrugs with 1in ROM. Drops the bar. Deloads the weight. Lifts the bar to previous place. Loads it again. Meditates...
Thanks. I could not understand it until now, as he's much stronger and training for so much longer than me.
About excess adipose tissue, well he's working on it now. Interestingly he was oblivious to the fact of how much fat he is carrying until just recently. Now he has better diet and does HIT.
That gives me a perspective on something.
I've got a colleague who's doing BB-style workouts since "forever" and despite it he's bit overweight (27% bf) and quite often complaining on soreness after his leg routine. I've been training for ultramarathons last year after few years of running (Mind...
Followed yesterday evening's training with that:
Preacher bicep curls 3x8-12
Spider curls 2x15-20
Reverse curls 2x8-12
EZ-Bar seated tricep extension 3x8-12
Cable pressdowns (bar attachment) 2x12-15
Cable kickbacks 2x15-20
I feel my chest from yesterday. It's bit funny, I never feel like I'm...
Yeah, bent-over rows certainly use them amongst the whole list of other back muscles. Reverse flyes should be a good addition to focus on rear delts. Let me know when you try it out!
That's more of a "push press" then regular shoulder press. For the nay-sayers: it allows to use more weight because some power is generated from the lower body, however it hits you on the negatives with more weight than regular shoulder press would.
Any reason for not going to a full extension...
I have been doing a protocol involving widowmakers + full body wo EOD & one day for DLs. After a while felt like a wreck and then added 1000kcal to my diet and got my mojo back few days later. Great stuff to add some poundage on your squats when you hit plateau.
I only had been close to...
What tempo are you using for DLs? A 100 reps sounds crazy.
Well done on the second wo of the day! That's right about weight increases. And although I think you should be able to easily do more weight on those, there is no reason to rush them especially as previous workout hit you hard. I hope...
I am still not feeling on par and bad weather does not help.
At least it's not snowing around me like in Wales and Scotland :)
Funny enough, my libido is high, but my mind is bit hazy and mood is rather down.
Got 4 days off around Easter now, so I am hoping I'll get enough rest to get back in...
Don't beat yourself over drinking. You have to let your hair down from time to time. Besides beer is good for your kidneys and heart ;-)
Well certainly you're not going to wear a suit and take her to a 5* restaurant. Even when you will have enough money to do so, why the f*** would you?
Show...
Not taking out calculator, but you seem like you're on a weighloss diet. Do yourself a favour and actually count all calories and macros you get daily for few days.
What's your weight (you mentioned something about 180lb?), bf%, height, age?
True. He said heavy. Heavy for me means between 5RM and 1RM. If it's lighter weight I would think that it doesn't justify week long soreness unless he has a screwed up diet.
Viagra69 what's your macros breakdown and daily cals intake? Your proteins should be higher at about 2g per lb, IMHO.
Wasn't there some study on having constant elevated blood sugar (i.e. constant insulin levels) bad for insulin sensitivity?
I can't remember correctly. I'll try to dig it out when I have access to a PC.
