Overall Impression:-

good workout.

Military Press: new PR once again got a vid of the last set...

Pull-ups: got a vid for the first set....i wasnt feeling too much into it this time...i dunno why...

Close Grip Bench Press: got a vid for this too. this was pretty tough today...

Overhead Shrugs: no vid here lol...but it was good doing this exercise. i dunno but after doing this i always feel a bit different on my shoulders - in a nice way that is....my shoulders feel happy i guess hehe

Russian Twists: felt ok

Hanging Leg Raises: boring

Diet: i got in all my protein requirements but instead of having several small meals that im used to, i managed to get ALL this in in 2 big ass meals. so when i turned up at the gym i had had zero pre workout nutrition and i wasnt happy. but the workout was good. i guess sipping the protein during my workout was a good idea

Overall: good workout. ill post the vids next. i saw this movie (Hollywood) called "Bobby" which was pretty ok...and i also saw "Alexander" which was shit....

anyways, have a GREAT weekend everyone!!!

That's good progress on the pullups.

That's exactly the kind of thing I want to hear. This plus all the other scapular stabilization things give me this same feeling. I love Facepulls for this reason also. I am used to my shoulders being always a little uncomfortable if not hurting. But when you first start these things it's just like you say...it feels strange but in a good way. It's like your shouders are thanking you. I've been doing them for probably a good year if not a little longer and my shoulders feel a lot more stable and healthy in general. I honestly can't say that about any other exercises...not even specific rotator cuff things, which are just as likely to fuck you up as to help you if you make one tiny mistake.

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

I watched them. Great work. You look really thick on the press vid, btw. Good to see all this. I remember not long ago you contemplating never lifting again!

my back and shoulders are pretty thick....actually, im fine everywhere except my calves lol...i really need to do something about them damnit!!!

thanks for the critique E

If your calves show on a video just stand in water while you lift.

LOL I thought I could sneak that one by you.

dude....ive bought that book and ive read it many many times and ive come to the conclusion (now) that its shit. but it helped me out a lot when i first started lifting....so well.....
