It hurts exactly at the connective tissue point in the middle of the circle. It only hurts when I bench. Dips and vertical pressing doesn't bother it at all.

some would argue that unless you are a powerlifter, you don't even need to do a flat bench press, that dips are actually more effective an exercise.

I say don't sweat the bench, and just work on your overheads and dips like you did, you will be more than fine.

How about dumbbells? Does a flat db bench bother your shoulder? Or, how about a close grip bench press? I have found in the past when my shoulders bothered me that I could still close grip bench, even if I couldn't regular grip bench.

just some suggestions....don't think you need them since you seem to be doing well in here regardless, but,

Bench press is kinda of an overrated exercise. I remember Charles Poliquin talking about how a lack of ohp is a common cause of shoulder problems.

I wouldn't say the lack of an overhead press is the cause of shoulder problems, it is probably a combination of too much horizontal pressing, not enough horizontal pulling and then a lack of overhead pressing and pulling, so if you can keep a happy ratio of movements around the joint, you should be ok.

the problem arises in people like me who admitedly "worked out the wrong ways" for a good portion of the first 5 years of my lifting career, and had to play catch up from then on. I am ok at the moment, but probably have a higher succeptability (is that a word?) to shoulder problems and need to be more careful.

Rep Range Week
Pull Day / 8-12 Range


Sumo Deadlift: (2m RI)
Set 1: 135 x 5
Set 2: 225 x 5
Set 3: 315 x 3
Set 4: 375 x 3

Hurt my back on this one. I don't get it. My form was flawless. Deadlifts have been hurting me a lot lately.

Chin-Ups: (2m RI)
Set 1: BW x 12
Set 2: BW x 12
Set 3: BW x 10

Supine Rows: (2m RI)
Set 1: BW x 12
Set 2: BW x 10
Set 3: BW x 10

Barbell Shrugs: (2m RI)
Set 1: 315 x 20
Set 2: 405 x 20
Set 3: 455 x 20

Dumbbell Hammer Curls: (2m RI)
Set 1: 40's x 12
Set 2: 40's x 12
Set 3: 40's x 10


I think I am going to stop doing deadlifts for a while. They keep hurting my lower back despite my efforts of doing them safely. I need to get away from heavy lifting all together. I am about to go on a strict diet that Jody is helping me with, so I expect to see significant strength reduction. If I get away from heavy lifting and focus more on increasing my rep range, maybe I won't notice the strength loss.

Nice chin-ups Alabama.


Posted by: KelJu

Thanks bud. I think the weighted chin-ups is what helped me break out of my plateau.


Posted by: Scarface30

workouts are looking strong KelJu

what do you think of those supine rows?


Posted by: katt

Tell me what supine rows are???


Posted by: Bakerboy

^ Weighted Supine Row
Some people call them BW rows.


Posted by: katt

ahhhh,, I've seen them before, but didn't know the name.. so, when you add weight, you put it on your chest?


Posted by: Bakerboy

^ Yeah, that's one way to do it. I like to use a backpack.


Posted by: Malley

Some people also use a weighted vest.

I have been feeling pain in my back when deading to....thats wierd. Oh well strong workout none the less!

Sweet workout KelJu. You are smart not to ignore the obvious. You have been lifting extremely heavy, your body needs a rest. Especially if you are coming off a cycle, you need to back off. But then, you knew that .

I weighed 160 in the 6th grade, and I wasn't tall then, either. I weighed 260 during my senior year of football, but I dropped down to 200 between that time and graduation. So I dropped 60lbs in 6 months.

Woo! Workout kicked my ass. I have low energy right now. I partied for the last 3 days at my brothers mostly. An good buddy of mine that I haven't seen in a while stayed with me all weekend. There were whores all at my brothers place. I was hanging with one girl all night. She told me where she works and to come by and see her. I thought that was kind of strange, but fuck it, I'll go see her. She's cute, and looks a lot like Kelly Ozborn...actually that is what we were calling her.

Despite all of the distractions, I did pretty good. The only drugs I took were caffeine to stay up all 3 days. I got 4 hours of sleep each tight, then worked all day, then partied all night, rinse and repeat. Its no wonder my workout sucks balls.

The second job that many of you urged me to take has paid off. The guy wants me to take over my responsibility with his side company and pay me more money. I will have to leave the shop and take his proposal because that would put me in a good money situation during the fall semester, plus I will only have to work 3 days a week, I could finally devote more time to my training. God damn that is going to be so cool!


Oh yeah, a rich dude I met at my brothers parties that I sorta new before, but not very well wants me to move in with him. I am still all like wtf! I hang out with this guy 2 days and he ask me if I want to move into a $1,500 a month condo, and he doesn't even want me to pay rent? The dude isn't gay, and he hangs with the coolest people in Mobile. I can't figure out what the hell he wants me to move in for except he is kind of strung out, and he says I would be a good influence on him. All I can figure is lots of people at my brothers parties new me when I sort of went off of the deep end. They see me now, and I am unrecognizable. I spent 2 years on the body recomp, and the last year I have really come around mentally, intellectually, and emotionally. I have a great perspective on life, and I am not nearly as pessimistic as I use to be.

I have dug myself out of a whole. It is really nice to see the sun again. Good decisions and hard work have come back to me 3 fold. Now I am more motivated as ever to continue making good decisions now that I know how good it feels to succeed. I finally feel successful!


Posted by: Pylon

Good story, and great work! We're all proud of you!


Posted by: DOMS

Congrats on the new job!

That guy may want you to move in with for the very reason that he stated. And maybe he thinks that paring up with you will draw more chick in.

You really do seem to be a lot more optimistic since you joined!

He seems like a good person. I talked to my brother before I agreed to move in to find out more about the guy. It appears he is a trust fund baby. He drives a hummer and lives in the nicest of homes, but is still down to earth. I'm thinking he is tired of everyone mooching off of him and wants a roommate that has their shit together.

Basically he wants me to move in, and my only responsibility is paying the utilities and being myself. I think I can handle that easy enough.

Flawless workout! I am a month off the juice today. I did PCT by the book, and it seems I haven't lost a bit of strength yet. I am thinking that I can continue to maintain at this level while cutting still. I have lost 11lbs this summer while packing on some major muscle, so I am very happy.

Also brother Brutus, I took some after shots, so check out my gallery.

I think I am going to stop doing deadlifts for a while. They keep hurting my lower back despite my efforts of doing them safely. I need to get away from heavy lifting all together.

Posted by: fufu

You know, I have come to sort of the same conclusion as you. I can't go lifting heavy all the time and take the risks. I always feel like a rusty machine all the time. Only existing to lift heavy.

Now I am looking for more balance, I think we are in a similar situation.

We are, bud. You and I have been lifting with everything we have for years, and our bodies are falling apart despite our best efforts to lift properly and safely.

I'm simply not designed to push these types of numbers. If I can't look like Arnold, maybe I can look close to brad pit, lawl.

Posted by: KelJu

Thanks guys. I am very happy with my numbers considering the circumstances. I am wore the fuck out. I am so tired. The last two weeks have been rough, because we have been servicing two customers that both have spent at least a quarter million at our store. I have pulled 62 hours at one job and another 16 at my other job. I am quiting my second job today. I can't do it anymore. I am too tired to workout, I have been to tired to even wash cloths. I am burnt out, and I need some quality KelJu time, or I am going to go insane.

They were. That is why I only did 2 sets of push-downs. Abs were fried worse triceps. I really pushed with all I had on the crunches. I know its called crunch, but I actually go all the way into rest position then back which really hits me harder than staying in crunch position.

Posted by: KelJu

Yeah, my trip was pretty fun. We went camping at a beautiful place with a huge natural lake surrounded by limestone, so the water was crystal clear. You could see 20 feet to the bottom almost. We did a lot of swimming to stay cool.

I haven't been swimming in about 3 years and I lost most of my ability to float. I sank to the bottom like a rock for the first time in my life. It was work to stay a float.

I feel relaxed and ready to go back to school.

You went camping? I heard about that, but I've never gone. The fundamental problem with camping, for me, is that it doesn't have any city.

it's good to hear your doing even better!

Awesome squatting. Those are really getting up there.

Well, the problem is muscle is denser than fat.. and since you have put on how much muscle in the last 3 years??? thats why your sinking. Its not that you lost your ability to float.. you've gained more mass.

Thats what I figured. I use to be a fatass mass of lipid cells, now I am a dense mass of muscle. When I jumped in, I went to the bottom like a brick.

I have 3 roomates. I am getting along with all of them pretty well, but two already started fighting with each other. There are two white guys and two black guys, which could seem like a recipe for diseaster. One dude is pretty cool, we have been bullshitting some. We are both into lifting, so we had stuff in common right off the bat. It seems kind of funny, but he is like a black version of me.


Posted by: fufu

Sounds good. Having some conflict may not actually be a bad thing, because IMO it is a decent way to break the ice. Of course that is if they make up.

I rarely talked to my roommate last year. We had 0 conflict but 0 fun. It was like living with a stranger. He never once pissed me off, which is kind of incredible. At the same time it would have been nicer knowing him better, but there is inevitable conflict at some point if you know someone long/well enough.

Nice pulling there KelJu! Good luck with the new living arrangement, I've had my fair share of nightmares, and some really good times too. Actually I was in a similar situation you're in right now and it was probably my best, so all the luck to ya.

On high reps days my form is very strict. I do not use my legs at all to get the weight up. The only cheating I do is I let the bar ever so slightly bounce off of the upper part of my chest.

Wowee! I have no idea why I am doing so well, but I like it. I think maybe the reason is I can't do bench presses or deadlifts right now, and my body doesn't have to rebuild those areas, so the rebuilding is being focused on my shoulders and abs. Either way, I like the improvement. My goal is to overhead press my body weight which is 220 right now, so I should be able to do it within the next two weeks at this rate.

Woot woot! My back felt good, so I tried a few sets of deadlifts and had zero pain. I then went for some fairly hi numbers for having not deadlifted in a month, and all went well. I think I was so happy about the deadlifts that the rest of my workout went well, also. I am very happy about my numbers. Shrugs felt super strong today.

Yep. I plan to be very detailed on this cycle. My last cycle went great, because I was better educated and was ready for the side effects. My Blood pressure is good right now from all of the running I have been doing.

Its funny a year ago i would have said night sweats, aggression, insomnia, loss of libido(if no test is being run), and ED injections just arnt worth it, now the more i hear about tren the more I'm tempted to try it.

testosterone propionate and trenbolone. They both wont cause water retention or at least much both are cutting steroids. Tren is extremely strong and is used to partition nutrients more towards muscle and less towards fat. Tren also causes good body recomps. test prop is just normal test without the bloat.

Oh yeah tren has very violent side effects compared to other AAS.

This is 90% true. I seem to be lucky in the fact that tren doesn't cause but one side effect with me and that is blood pressure.


I have had no other complications other than connective tissue problems, and that was more my fault than the AS.

I guess the test has made its way into my system judging by that performance. That is the strongest leg workout of my entire life, and I am at a caloric deficit for the last 3 days.

My current plan is to shed fat over the next 8 weeks.
I am taking 800mg of prop per week broken into 2 shots: one on Wednesday and one on Sunday.

Yes! Yes! Yes! My shoulder is back operational. Each week I have been testing it with 135 to see how it felt and every week it hurt or pinched real bad, but today I had no pain at all. I slowly moved up in weight and exhausted my chest before any pain started, so all is good.

Having finaly been able to bench press again slightly lowered my OH pressing strength due to exhaustion, but thats fine.

Overall, I am tickled shitless.

Great news on the shoulder brother K. I know it's tempting and all ... but do try to keep your bench under 2000 lb's so you don't fug it up again

Strong as always!

Well, my weight is good, and my BF% seems to be lower. I need to get to the gym, but I can't until my leg heals some more. I changed my bandage today, and there is still a hole the size of a dime all the way to my shin bone. It may take 4 or 5 more days to heal enough to workout.

I was due a deload anyhow, so I don't mind much.

It is awesome. I can't wait to play again. I asked a girl that I have been talking to to come and play next time. It is a test of character. If she says yes, I know she has a sense of adventure and would be cool to date.

Good to know your shoulder is getting better. Next up is your leg, heh.

Pull Day / 10-12 Range



Pull-Ups: (2m RI)
Set 1: BW x 12
Set 2: BW x 12
Set 3: BW x 12

Bent-over rows: (2m RI)
Set 1: 135 x 10
Set 2: 145 x 10
Set 3: 160 x 10


My workout went short, because my leg hurt too much. Its hard to exercise with a hole in your leg.

Tomorrow is leg day. I hope my leg heals a lot between now and then.


Posted by: katt

ok,, so your leg hurt today.... tomorrow's leg day and you think it's going to heal????? Are you on drugs or what??

No, I just have a high pain threshold, coupled with high stupidity.


Wednesday 09/12/07
Leg Day (10-12) Range


Wide Stance Squats: (2m RI)
Set 1: 135 x 12
Set 2: 225 x 12
Set 3: 315 x 12


SLDL: (2m RI)
Set 1: 135 x 12
Set 2: 225 x 10
Set 3: 275 x 8


Seated Calf Raises: (1m RI)
Set 1: 495 x 35
Set 2: 495 x 35
Set 3: 495 x 30



I'll take that considering the circumstances. Squats are down, but considering how little I have eaten over the past week, I am not surprised. My cut is coming along so so. My leg is healing nicely, and I had very little pain until my heart rate jumped up doing squats and my leg was throbbing.

Was going great until an hour ago when I think I nicked a vessel in my arm and bled like a stuffed pick.

My sleeping meds are kicking in, so hopefully I will be fine by the morning.

Yeah, I did, and everything seemed to be fine, but when I pulled out blood and half of the gear I shot in all rushed out. My arm didn't hurt unusually today. So I really don't know what the fuck happened. I will just file that in my file under weird unexplainable shit that happens to me.

Your gorilla body is telling that you it don't need to stinkin' steroids to grow monster-like.

I stalled out. I must have cut my calories too much because my weight lose stopped, and my strength has dropped dramatically. The only thing I know to do is bump my calories up substantially as an emergency action.

All I know is when something stops working, do something else. once I get things moving again, I will drop the calories, just not quite so much. I hate thta I am spending all this money on gear that is being wasted by my dumb diet decisions.

I am almost to the point where I want to give up my cut. I am basically at the same point that I always stall out at. Not everyone can lift what I can, so like wise, maybe I just don't have the genetics to have a bard pit body.

I am an endomorph. Maybe it is time I stop fighting my nature. I could really have some nice size to me right now if I could get this shit out of my head about looking like a hard body. It is close to wintertime anyway, so who the fuck will see it but me?

If I could just cut 2% or 3% more BF I think I could be happy. Then again, I know myself, and I am never truely satisfied with my progress.
