Aaaaaaauuuuggggh! I hate that! They looked good though. I think you should do something else next time. Woohoo!

Switch out the rows to something where your back is supported. If not "supported" rows then you may be able to do cable rows. Unless your back feels better next time....dammit I should have insisted against you insisting on insisting on the goodmornings.

Overall Impression:-

ok i havent been well at all. i have a horrible stomach upset. im under a shitload of antibiotics right now and my diet today was shitty. to top it off i slept in an awkward position and i have a horrible catch on my neck and i cant turn it to the right. it was really bad in the morning but my gf gave me a nice neck massage and im much better right now. it will go by tomorrow most likely. however, i was not feeling 100% at all and i was in no mood to workout. but since i had skipped yesterday's session i decided to go today. the only good news is that my lower back pain has finally gone.

Military Press: added 1 more set. vid has been taken.

Pull-ups: couldnt knock out 9 reps like last time. only got 8. got a vid.

Close Grip Bench Press: got a vid for this too. new PR.

Overhead Shrugs: my shoulders are very happy

Russian Twists: this new variaition done standing with a barbell isnt as easy as i thought it would be. i did it in the right manner using my trunk instead of my arms to push the bar.

Decline Sit-ups: boring

Diet: sad sad diet as most of what i ate today came out 30 minutes late :(

Overall: good workout...however, im just trying to get back to my old healthy method of living lol.....i dont like being sick....and this neck is killing me!!! i saw the gridiron gang last night and it was a great movie. i saw it when it released last year but i enjoyed watching this movie again. i liked it.

as always, have a GREAT weekend everyone!!!

Are you using lifting hooks to do your pullups?

I watched the vid thrice. I can't tell for sure but it seems like the left side of the bar is lower than the right side on you MP's. It looks like both arms are reaching full extension and it also seems like you're trunk is straight. So the only answer in that case would be the scapular mobility on that side. You should be able to tell that when you do overhead shrugs but I don't really know if that is the cause for sure. It would be common a thing to happen if it is.

Try to work more explosiveness into your pullups. Be more aggressive at the start of the movement and just control the negs. You need more speed to overcome the weight rather than just trying to grind it up.

yo Eric

ok....1 thing at a time..

1.) no lifting hooks for pull-ups. im using lifting straps.

2.) i had no idea the bar wasnt straight :( come to think of it, ur right....when i do OH shrugs it is the same way.....since this is happening is this bad per se???

3.) ok ill work on explosiveness on the pull-ups. ur right, right now i just try to grind them up. however, i will try to be more aggressive next time round.

You can't hold your bodyweight? Don't use straps unless you need them to finish the sets. If you can't do one pullup without straps then it's a good thing you've started grip work. But I assume you can do them without straps in which case using straps for pullups while doing grip work elsewhere is pretty backwards.

Any lack of mobility of that nature around the shoulder is going to be a deficit. Just concentrate on getting the fullest range of motion possible on both the overhead shrugs and MP's. And do lat and pec stretches making sure to pay particular attention to that side of your body. Maybe ask someone at the gym if they think it is uneven also. Could be if you stood in front of a mirror and just raised your hands in a natural fashion, not trying to exagerate it in any way, you might notice a very slight discrepency in the height of your hands. That discrepency would be worse, of course, when weight was introduced.

I can't remember but with your shoulder problems, was that shoulder by any chance worse?

Edit - NM...I see it was your right shoulder.
