Nice weight on the shoulder presses! I'm not sure what I barbell press for shoulders, haven't done them in awhile now that I think about it. I usually can get the 70lb DBs for 7-8ish (seated). I've done the sissy squats on the smith machine before, goal is to keep your shins stagnant. Movement should just be from your knees up, keep your core tight. Close stance leg presses also does wonders for quad development. Set you feet roughly 4-6" apart, and towards the top of the platform. Focus on pushing through you heels, should allow you to squeeze the vastus medialis (tear drop muscle closest to your knee). So better for inner quad development.. |
Thanks JP - ya that's pretty much what i've been doing - it's definitely an awesome addition to my routine - did them today - went nearly all
the way down - when you do them do you go heavy or stay on the 10 rep range?
Back n Bi's today - weighted pull-ups - reverse grip cable pull downs ended with 200 lbs for 8 reps, felt solid.
JP - As for the fly's i like to do 2-3 sets incline first then 2-3 sets flat bench - I don't go heavier than 60's it's not needed if you go slow. Then i'll hit the Fly machine and go heavy.
