Already did this at the end of my workout today, will feel it soon I'm sure..

Both moves bit hard to get right but if you get the full range on first and can contract low traps on second works well.

Ya working out the 'twist' on the low cable one was a bit tricky, felt something in my lower back a few times but think I got the move worked out by the next time I'm ready. Simple plate raise though more legit than I gave it credit for..going to failure that is

[1MOREMOD]

Yeah that plate raise I was using 25 like he was and tried some with 45 was tough. Work up to that 100 when your halfthor sized

Nice! Eye candy is always good. They gym I go to had an influx of new members recently and the level of eye candy literally doubled overnight. They even hired some sexy PTs.

I had shoulders a day ago. Now I can't lift my arms above parallel without some major DOMS!

Plus I got to find some new exercises. The dumbbells that my programming has me using coming up on my next 8 weeks for shoulder presses...I don't think I will be able to get them up into position. Barbell presses are easy....but when you get above the 75's for seated dumbbell presses and as short as I am....it's a struggle!

Once I get them up, I'm good to go. I remember seeing ads years ago about dumbbell holders that attached to a barbell. You placed the dumbbells into the holders, then set down and were good to go.

Wonder if they still make them?

My buddy at work has those dumbells I think? It's the one that's kinda squarish and it can be adjusted to what ever weight? Seems like it would be too bulky. I would suggest using a Smith machine for seated or standing military presses

That's almost like speed-balling, no? Or at least that's what my friend tells me. . .

I no longer smoke but I can see your point behind this. I know a lot of people that smoke before they work out and not just at gyms. A close friend of mine runs trails with weights strapped to him and swears that it helps him focus and push harder.

bong rip or GTFO

I'm getting too old, but ya certain sativas are a great pre-workout

[overcoil]

I thought I’d share a few good wrkouts that I’m really liking. Started about three or four months back. I don’t worry about keeping a stringent routine, just wrk it till fatigued.

1) alternating between Matrix Krank Cycle and pair of 30lb dumbbells hammer-curls. Maybe start out doing a few minutes each and winding down to 15-20 seconds each. Sometimes for a total 15 or 20 minute workout. Sometimes get near maximum resistance on Krank Cycle.

2) Hittmill X treadmill, longest was 45-minutes, doing farmers walk for up to 80-seconds with anywhere from 35 - 50 lbs on each side. Constant changing of resistance and hand positions for treadmill with and without weighted hand-grips.

3)alternating: jump-rope, push-ups and overhead press with 36lb dumbbell. Each rep can be anywhere from a few minutes to 20-30 seconds. Complete time 20-minutes.

4) alternating: pull-ups with dips. Total time 20-minutes. And altensting 3 different grips including a chin-up.

5) handstands, attempting handstand push-ups against a wall, but very minimal range.


I’ll combine some of these or add them to a day when doing Olympic style lifting. Just thought it might be an interesting change up for someone.

I'm doing a Wendler variation routine (strength). You have tier 1 and tier 2 exercises.

So for shoulders, tier 1 is overhead press, tier 2 is dumbbell press. Tier 1 stays the same as all tier 1 exercises are usually the big ones like squat, deadlift, etc. Tier 2 you can change around to mix it up a little.

The things I'm talking about are hangers. You hang them on a barbell in a rack, put your dumbbells in them, so they are in place for seated dumbbell presses without having to get them off the floor and up into the start position. I seen them years ago.

My last shoulder workout, I hit 15 reps with the 75lbs dumbbells, so now my new working sets going into the next round of programming is 90lbs as it bumped my maxes.

I don't think I will be able to swing the 90's up safely under control, so I will probably just swap to a different exercise.

These are Similiar to what I meant.
