You know my observations are usually based on the big picture rather than the current focal point, so the only reason I mentioned it is because I've noticed you dwelling on these things in the past and I didn't want you to snap back to that way of thinking.

Yeah, I would avoid upright rows if you have bad shoulders. Another option that makes a big difference is to use dumbells that you can keep in a hammer grip...but the weight is very limited.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

^^^ ok cool

i know im gonna be holding the hammer grip...and yes, since weight is limited im gonna be doing more reps...

ill keep doing dc sir till i cant progress because of my injuries, etc and then ill shift to a more volume based "non failure" trianing program..

thanks for your observations again.....u reminded me of 1-2 more things im gonna be changing...like instead of dumbbell presses being 15-30 RP im gonna be doing them 30-50 RP which will be kinda better in a way

Overall Impression

i slept during my siesta in a wierd position and my shoulder wasnt feeling to happy with me....so i didnt push myself on the incline bench press

actually, i didnt feel like working out at all....really....i didnt go to failure on a single exercise....i just went to the gym like a zombie and lifted what i thought was perfect for a cruise and walked back out...

apparently i got some of my numbers on my diet plan a bit messed up...im gonna go through all that one more time and then update u guys.

peace

also, can anyone tell me: it is ok for me to NOT push myslef in this cruise period, right? only lift light weights for less than optimal reps?

That's the whole idea. You can still push it pretty hard hitting 15 reps per bodypart! I'm not advocating using your 12 RM, but heavy enough to really get a tough workout in. Additionally, feel free to do different exercises than you were doing during your blast. For example, if a certain exercise or machine catches your eye, feel free. Perhaps something like standing OHP's since they cannot be rest/paused. A cruise is a perfect time for those.

Cruising while using a lot less weight than you can do IMO will hurt you coming back into your next blast (unless you're resting joints). Usually, doing a straight set of 15 reps hard is obviously quite the deload after doing 11-20 RP for that exercise!

A cruise would be the only time I'd advocate going by "feel". After you walk into the gym, have an idea of what you want to do, but nothing balls to the wall. For example, for OLY squats, I'd probably do a set of 10-15 reps and be done. If I was used to blasting with [365 x 8, 250 x 20], I'd probably pick something like 315 x 15 good hard reps and be done. Just to give you an idea. The 315 would be challenging of course!..But it's not a weight you'd cheese-dick like if you picked 275 lbs. Get me?

^^^thanks a lot for the help 0311....

ok i know i havent updated this journal in a while, but thats because i am right now stuck in a horrible room-mate siuation at my college and am trying to sort that out....im trying not to stress out too much over it, but its really nerve wrecking so im prioritizing that as #1 for the moment...

i HAVE been "cruising" as per schedule and my diet is ok....not the best, but ive cut back on one meal per day....

ill most probably be starting this journal with my second blast which happens in 10 days

peace

JOURNAL UPDATE:

im having some major roommate issues to i havent been able to keep my diet in order because ive had to visit the psychologist plus the dean of admissions plus the dean of international admissions, plus the director of residential life

its been one hell of a rollercoaster ride this week and its gonna happen this coming week too

fuck...i hate racist scumbag roommates

Sentinel

ps: the purpose was to say that my diet is shit for the time being

also: trueprotein bsl flavour sucks. ON whey flavour is WAY better

I've never gotten on of the bsl flavors. I've found that the regular pre-flavored are just fine.

thanks for the heads up eric

JOURNAL UPDATE

ok so i went to workout today. room mate still isnt sorted out and i have an appointment with the Dean of International Admissions and the Director of Student Residential Life tomorrow.

so im kinda tensed coz my room mate is a racist bastard.

anyways, i went to the gym as planned and i paid heed to Dell's advice. i did incline dumbbell bench presses which were fun. i did alternate arm standing dumbbell front shoulder presses. next was incline close grip bench press followed by rack chins (these were fucking amazing!!). and lastly i did t-bar rows.

im gonna be including all these exercises next blast. i cant wait for monday. to start blast 2

my diet was fucking amazing today. i have eaten SO much food!!!

anyways, wish me best of luck on my meeting with my dean and director tomorrow....i hope it goes well.....

and i hate my room mate..sonofabitch...

peace
