Good tip. When I do skull crushers (rarely) I always push up and damn, my shoulders feel it, but I might them another try doing it your way.

we actually reformulated that one like 3x before the owners found the taste to be perfect..
i thought the first one was fine myself
 
The blue raspberry kicks a$$.....loving it...

Did legs today. Lots of squats, leg press and leg extension. Can't walk. That is all.
 
You people and your hiding then revealing. Is this a fugging magic show or a log for progress.

I keed I keed, or maybe not. But seriously folks take the fugging picture post the fugging picture enjoy the accolades and quit playing humble... Wait who said that?

How is the shoulder feeling Monte?
 
If it hurts on the side raises just stop this time. You might even try the side raise machine so the leverage is better making it easier on the connective tissue.

Last session I did the side raises on machine and they didn't bother me at all. Will do this again like you are suggesting.

nice ;) def great to hear this from you
and those behind neck presses still beastly too, 4x15 reps @that weight no joke
(well all your #s look solid of course)

Thanks Snaggy McSnaggerton.
Actually felt good with the heavy pressing today. Pumps were painful. Foam rolled my shoulders between sets to help keep them loose though.

Btw....weight 246
 
On a side note I had huge carb days yesterday and today. Energy had been down a bit so I threw some fruit loops in post workout both days a well as an extra cup of rice split between meals. About 600g yday and the same planned for today.
 
I keep seeing those face pulls in various training logs. Must be something good about it if so many people are doing them. Stealing your back routine buddy
 
Monte, what app are you using to track your workouts? JeFit? If so how do you copy the completed session log to AM? Thanks
