I will have to try that. I generally do the movement with the same grip that I bench with. Anything that will help the upper chest I am game! haha
 
You want to go much wider than usual bench grip
 
I'll have to video a new lift for you guys to hit upper chest with.
 
My older boys had their first parkour class yesterday. It was pretty cool. They had a lot of fun and can't wait for next week. Instructor is pretty laid back
 
Shoulder and tris session...

Alright....I didn't get what I wanted out of this primarily because the wife stole my man essence this morning....lol so here it goes

Strict military press: 95x10, 115x8, 125x5, 135x4, 115x4, 95x6. All sets were only 45 secs of rest. I was already feeling the effects of this morning and the time crunch I found myself in

3 ways: normally I like to do these exercises individually, but I had NO time. The 3 exercises are bent-over laterals, side laterals, and front raises. Done in tri-set fashion with only 1 minute between each tri-set....20lbs x 8 reps each movement. So a total of 24 reps each tri-set. I did 3 sets worth of these

Standing dumbbell shrugs: 105x8x8x7. Each rep was a 2 second hold at the top and 1 minute of rest between each set

Close grip bench: 135x5, 155x5, 175x5. Each rep was a 2 second pause on the bottom

Lying cable extensions: 30x15, 60x15, 90x9

One arm overhand/underhand superset pressdowns: 2 sets

All tri sets done with :45 to 1:00 of rest

Mess around with just the bar and change your grip width. Reverse grip BB bench takes shoulders out of play and utilizes more tris and upper chest.

You guys doing flat or incline reverse grip?

I've only tried it flat. Haven't tried it incline yet.
 
I am finding great irony that I am getting no notifications is a thread I started haha
 
Brandinooooo said:
Lol. Mine are messed up as well. I'm getting the emails but no notifications on here. Its also stuck at 1 new notification.

Ditto. Been like that for me for the last week or so. Before then I noticed that only about half of my notifications would show up, even for my own workout log thread LOL

But I like my nipples!
 
What sucks about the notifications is that I find things I want to reply to on my pho e, then come back later and I can't find it.
 
That is a pain in the ass. It is like off and on

Yep. I'll get an email for a thread I'm subbed to, and then I'll log on and there won't be any new replies lol.
 
I was having the same issue with notifications. Ended up logging out of the app and then back in, and then making sure my notifications were on. No issues since then.
 
Back to the push-ups, I Have one for you to try. We did them in the Military. Basketball push-ups. Wear a necklace with a charm hanging off of it, think of dog tags. Do pushups with your hands in the diamond formation and drop. When you go down, make sure that whatever you have having from your necklace goes inside the diamond of your hands, if it doesnt, it doesnt count. Even if you have to hold the the 1/2 way position to get it lined up. They suck

Haha that sounds ridiculous. Interesting though.

They suck bro. It doesnt matter how long you take at the 1/2 way point to try and line it up, once you go down, go wuick, and if it doesnt fall in the "basket" oh well, start again.

Damn lol. I might try it. I do pushups everyday while working out. I need to mix them up a bit.
 
My shoulder screams on em.
 
I need to throw these in. I had an uneventful session except for the fact that light weight squats made my hips scream. My right leg is a little longer than my left and I think I may be dealing with hip impingement because of the unevenness. My left butt cheek also knots up way more than my right, which I think happens because of my structure. I am going to stop both front and back squats for about a month, heal up. Do you guys have any suggestions? Maybe do like Dimitry Klokov and squat with my longer slightly ahead? Or should I squat with a plate under my left heel?
 
My right hip and knee are causing me the problems
 
I would think that if it's caused by the difference in leg length, then your plate idea would be the way to go. Would sure be worth a try. But then, if the pain just now started (assuming your right leg has always been shorter), that doesn't make sense either. I'd try the plate at light weights and see how it feels.
 
It's been hurting for months.
 
Have you tried going to a chiropractor and seeing if it's an adjustment issue?
 
I can see that my right knee is higher than my left when I am standing. The difference isn't at the hips....it starts down below my knees :( haha
 
I've known about the difference for awhile. But it hasn't been this bad so I am going try something different when it feels better. It doesn't hurt during deads or RDLs. It's when I have to squat and has gotten real last couple of months
 
What meals are you normally eating on the weekend? And are you paying attention to macros? If so, what are you goals for each day?
 
200+ protein 180-200 carbs 100-120 fat

Convenience is the key....haha I appreciate whatever you come up with

I would drop fat down to 80-100 max and up protein.

Now you are trying to kill me. Protein on the weekends is hardest to hit due to meal frequency. I think Brandinooooo had taken care of that
 
Anybody think an inversion table would help straighten me out? My father-in-law has one and I am going there today

Are you talking about the kind where you hang from your feet? If so, they help quite a bit. I sometimes use them after an intense back day.

Haha true that. The one my friend has has a lock on it to get on and off. Its the new one with acupuncture and whatnot.

However, I did tip the damn thing over one day while doing situps lol. Completely helpless.
