What I meant by it getting better is that I'm able to lift on it. I feel it every time that I do any kind of press. I would have to have surgery for it to be "completely" better and then it would still never be quite the same. I've been doing some rehab stuff and that has helped also. But I know it's not altogether better. The fact that I went from aggravating/reinjuring it so frequently to where I am right now shows that I understand the situation very well. | |

Gender: | Alright, Ross. You do your thing. Maybe it will work out. And good luck on it. It's not like I want your shoulders to go bad, or I wouldn't have said anything. Hopefully you'll have shoulders when you're my age and you can lift heavy when you have grey hairs on your head  |

Gender: | Shoulder press - 2X6 130, 1X15 95 BB shrugs - 3X8 225 DB Shrugs - 3X8 50, 60, 70 Tricep pulldowns - 4X8 60 I was surprised that 130 felt as heavy as it did. Maybe it was an off day. The last rep of the first 2 sets I had a little help from my legs. So I just did a light, long set to finish those. I noticed this week that my left trap is lagging more than I thought. I don't know whether it's a lack of mind-muscle connection or if I'm cheating at some other lifts. I'm going to make sure I think about it every time I walk into the gym. |

Gender: | Mon Incline bench 3-4X8, alt every few weeks with flat bench 5X5 DB Rows Pull ups Face pulls serratus pressups biceps Tue Squats - 3-4X12, alt every few weeks with 5X5 GH raises calve raises Wed - break Thur Standing shoulder press Flat DB press PNF pulls front/lateral raises triceps Fri Deadlifts - doubles 275-315, singles 325-345 (10lb inc) Dip shrugs Leg press calve raises This is kind of what I did last week...it's what I'll be doing this week anyway. Just trying to get things organized. I really liked last week. I think I'll fall into a routine eventually. Focuses are calves, traps, chest, and overall mind-muscle connection. If I start to get worn down, then I'll define the days for specific movements better before I consider a deload...there is some overlap right now. I'm getting along fine...I am responding very well to making up my own workouts. Physique is aesthetically better..I'm getting stronger and still adding mass. I plan on doing 3-4X8 for most lifts...probably go down to 5X5 if I get stuck. Last edited by Ross86; 04-20-2008 at 11:46 AM. |
