ever think about doing a chest exercise and then a shoulder exercise and alternating instead of saving all the shoulder exercises to the end?

Either that or you should probably alternate which press you start with. For exampla workout 1 would be a heavy chest press and workout 2 swould start with a heavy overhead press.

Just some ideas for variation.

No... never thought of that. My shoulders are a bit weak from taking so long off due to a slight injury. I will keep what you said in mind. Maybe try it in a week or 2.

Thanks

I have what they call single braids. It's similar to Booker T's (from wrestling fame) but my braids are not as thick.

Leg day is my fav. as well (well, actually i love doing calves, back, chest......shit, i love 'em all haha)

Bro- you gotta throw in leg presses, hack squats and front squats as well. extensions are alright, but you gotta go with the bread and butter movements with your normal squats to get big legs, just extensions arent gonna cut it......

STRAPS?????? you WUSS!!!!

I agree on the cables vs freeweights for tri's. 1 cable movement isnt bad for the last exercise to burn them out but I woudnt make them the staple of my tri's exercises. unless you want girlie triceps!

btw, nice lifts on those DB Military!

I have to use straps as well for certain exercises: Deads, SLDL & Shrugs. I had surgery on my wrist a few years ago and I have no muscle left along the ulna bone on my right arm. The muscle and nerves are damaged so they will never grow back. I have decent forearms but I still lose grip very easy. As long as you don't use them all the time I don't see anything wrong using them with certain exercises.

Bro-once again, don't listen to the "strap haters".

If grip is a weakpoint that doesnt allow you to fully exhaust your back/traps/lats, then by all means use them.

honestly, what's more impressive..... a thick muscular back, wide v shaped lats and boulder traps........or big forearms?

the forearms can grow enough w/wrist curls.......stick with the straps bro......
