2 hand overhead tricep extension with DB - just wanted to get a pump, did not go for weight
100lb DB 3 sets of 15. Only 1 min rest between sets. Pump was great

Close grip Bench Press
again kept it light at 135 for a pump and reps
4 sets

Cable pushdowns supper setted with over head revers cable extensions
4 sets and a great pump

1 arm bent over tri extensions with ball on the cable machine

I think you may actually wind up liking this 1 bodypart per day routine. I've never went this route myself, but I have done a 5 day split with Legs, Chest, Back, Shoulders, and Arms. Recovery was awesome on that routine. And I could up the volume for each individual muscle group.
I may have to revert back to this routine. :ponder:

Hmmmm...would that be Chest, Back, Quads, Shoulders, Hams, Bis, Tris? Just wondering what the days would be...and if it would be 7 days.

AG is thinking about doing the 7 day split. I just did a 5 day split routine. Different.
Just like I wrote them. Chest one day, Legs (quads, hams, calves) one day, Back and Traps one day, Shoulders one day, Arms (tri's, bi's, and forearms) on the last day. Leaves ample time for maximum recovery.

5 day split. 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off. Repeat.

I thought you were referring to his post after I posted mine. LOL
Anyways, he probably won't have a day off with his 1 bodypart per day split.

I would do:

(Day 1)Chest
(Day 2)Biceps
(Day 3)Back
(Day 4)Triceps
(Day 5)Quads
(Day 6) Shoulders
(Day 7) and then finish with Hamstrings, Calves, and Forearms on the last day since they're smaller muscle groups.

You see I'm grouping this with the mind-set of doing a big bodypart day followed by a small bodypart day.
I think this would optimize this routine's efficacy.

But this is only what I would do. :veryhappy:

In the vernacular of the indigenous folk of my region: "That dog will hunt!!"

The only thing I would change is to separate the Back and Leg day with a smaller muscle group.

I would do:
Monday-Chest
Tuesday-Arms
Wednesday-Back
Thursday-Shoulders
Friday-Legs
Sat-Honey DO list.
Sunday-Blessed Rest :box:

You likey?:thinking:
 
ok today's lift:

Back -
Dead Lifts - had to keep it light. I go until the leg gets wobbly (best word to describe it :) )
4 sets and the last being 315 x 4 and at that point the knee started to wobble just a hair. To avoid any type of re-injury I stopped there and racked the weight... The weight itself is no issue... curse these knees!!!
T-Bar rows - ok this school gym didn't even have the cable handle that one usually uses, so just grabbed the bar and made do
5 sets with the last being 225 (5 plates - bar weight not included) for 4 reps (180 for 12). Not the best but a good starting point. Felt awkward without a normal grip.
Wide grip pull downs
4 sets up to 260 which I got 5 times and then drop setted down to 100 for 25 slow painfully fantastic reps
Close grip pull downs supper setted with standing stiff arm cable push downs
3 sets
Bent over rows BB just to finish off
3 sets with last being at 225 (had an audience on this one... stupid college gyms! These small guys just need to man up, eat, and lift!! When I go there I feel like a circus act sometimes with all the looks. At least at Gold's Gym there are bigger guys...

On a side note college starts today. I will be back in the classroom and doing PT to destroy and then build up again the future leaders of this country. Time to bring the pain!!!!

And in true evolutionary fashion, in my neck of the woods we've created a union between dog and will to form dog'll so as to perpetuate our lazy tongues.

So here we'd say "That dog'll hunt!" With the Th in 'that' and the h in 'hunt' being entirely optional, of course. :bigok:

And yes, I am guilty of saying that. Dog'll contraction and all.

bro your in freaking beast mode! nothing you typed above is light, and if someone says otherwise there having a D!ck measuring contest with you;)
 
Major looks like light means something different in American! That looks pretty damn solid to me! Nice lift bro...,
 
haha you are all nuts!!!!! :)
you guys will love this. So I went to a few classes I am taking just to help pass the time between killing these cadets, and NO ONE sat in the chairs next to me. Now was am in my Army uniform, and am a pretty big guy at 6'3" 235lbs about 14%bf and a thick chest, but it was just funny. I was usually one of the first in the classrooms, and would sit to one side. The ENTIRE other side would fill up before people would venture my way. in 3 classes no one sat in any of the chairs surrounding me... pansy college students!!!! I must have an aura of death and destruction on me. lol thought you guys would enjoy that one!!!!

Ok guys here is the lift for today.

Shoulders
Military BB Press
4 sets and got up to 205, but the bad shoulder was a little on the weak side. Will stay here until I can get 8 clean ones with no shaking
after the 205 did a drop set to 135 for 10 slow and clean reps
DB Front raises
4 sets with the last 2 using 50lb DBs... was VERY heavy :veryhappy:
Reverse grip military press, used on the Smith Machine
4 sets up to 155. These SMOKE the front delt!!!
1 arm DB side raises with alternate hand on back of Incline Bench
3 sets with 40lbs (key here is slow with no pendulum swing at the bottom)
Reverse PecDeck
3 sets
Upright Rows - done on cable machine
4 sets
NEW EXERCISE - saw one of the monster guys do these with his monster son. He is a ZZ Top look alike with the beard, but has 21 inch arms and is in his 50's!!!! Simply a monster!!! and his son is close to him as well!
It is a shrug done on the cables. each side at the bottom setting with the handle. The weight is maxed out. Grab each side then stand in the middle and slowly shrug for 5 reps. Then take 2 steps forward and shrug for 5 more (hits the back of the trap) These felt awesome. Will do these regularly now!!!

Legs
1 leg extensions
3 sets up to 100 per side
2 leg extensions
3 sets entire rack!!!! The knee took this like a champ!!! Finally getting the leg strength back!!!
Leg press - on sled
3 sets of 300 - couldn't go above this even though the weight was VERY easy. On the negative portion the ligaments in the knee sounded like Rice Krispies!!! It wasn't painful, but I stayed there at 300 none the less. The sound made me nervous. Could have done around 600 though... :grumpy: However I will keep this here until the snapping crackling sound goes away... Oh and these were heals to butt too :veryhappy:
Squats - my current nemesis!!!!! ROM just kills me with the knee!!!
did 3 sets with only bodyweight. Complete perfect form as well
then grabbed the bar to get the balance back. Did 2 sets with just the bar. Knee was very shaky, but held up with the ROM. Hopefully will be adding weight again soon :ponder:

Abbs
Hit the showers
 
Sounds like you had more time this morning than yesterday. Those cable shrugs sound like something to try.
 
crave the cable shrugs I do them 10 straight standing 10 leaning forward almost like behind the back shrug.
 
AG - you are a beast. Now for the scolding, take it easy on that knee man! If you are getting the nasty sounds, you are probably pushing it to its limit. Remember (and I know you hate when I say this), it is marathon not a sprint. I look forward to you blasting past me on leg press Major but let's not rush for that to happen. Worried about you big guy since you are just like me and want to push it to the max right away. I am off my soap box now.

As for the shoulder work, you are putting up some serious number on BB shoulder press. Making my machine numbers look weak!
 
AG I agree with Fin, I think you have "warrior deafness", that acute disorder where the ASGT, natural competitiveness, mind over matter, pig-stubborness and general do or die nature takes over the body and just pushes it, that little bit more... I would suggest that one's knee sounding like a bowl of rice crispies is not good and perhaps a little more caution and a little less warrior spirit might be in order - just a view of course from someone who has trouble lifting a big box of rice krispies....

Otherwise, great lift and I really like the idea of the cable shrug, I think I might give it a go
 
lol you guys are great!!! yeah the sound of the popping concerns me a lot, but the doc said that would happen. As there is no pain, I am just going to go easy and wait right here before moving up until the sounds go away. The doc said that the ligaments just need to be stretched and compressed again to get used to the feeling of the weight.
Having said that if next week I post that I have leg pressed 600 lbs, you all have permission to e-kick the crap out of me!!!! ;)
But trust me that won't be necessary!!! hopefully.............

popping sound=scar tissue that needs to be cleared so you can regain mobility. Totally harmless. Just don't go crazy.
