I stopped those a week or two ago after starting the low row to the neck. That seems to get the whole upper back area for me. That or i am doing them wrong. LOL What do you think ? should I put the rear delts back in ?
Thanks! No thats not me in the pics ! LOL

**P-funk** · 07-09-2004, 11:42 AM

Oh yeah, I love face pulls. I do them standing with a high cable sometimes. Also we do them lying face down on an incline bench with dumbells, elbos flared out pulling towards face (hence the name) for a couple of variations. I would put them on shoulder day, and you can even do some rear delt work on back day as well. I never see a problem with doing a little more rear delt work, especially when following a bodybuilder, bodypart, type routine because we tend to do so much pushing between chest and shoulder day that our anterior side can become over developed and give you that rounded forward look. The extra erar delt work can help to prevent shoulder imbalances. I like to keep rear delt stuff in the higher reps (like 15s) so that I can realy work my type I muscle fibers back there to ensure that they have a great endurace capacity to keep my shoulder up and back through the entire day instead of rounding forward when I get tired. Plus, they get a lot of heavy stimulation on deadlift work anyway.

I love Play it again Sports ! I picked up a pair of 65# db today for $22 ea . Now if only I can use them ! LOL Maybe db rows, i don't think I could hoist up two of them for db bench or db presses.

PreMier · 07-10-2004, 04:28 PM

Is that pretty cheap for DB's? I have never priced them. I need to go by the one here, and pick up some plates.

The ones I priced online were anywhere from .52 to .69 per lb for the hex so I got these for about half price.

Buying dumbells per pound,

that just sounds funny.

I didnt know that exercise was called 'face pulls', but I started doing it a few months ago, standing, like Pfunk. I luv it!!!!

Hope you had a great weekend Gary, the weather here pretty much sucked. (plus I worked) It was just hailing here a little while ago-the hail was bigger than peas! (I didnt know what else to compare it to)

Hi Sweet Jill !

i don't know why they price db's like that. It's not like you can order a 23.5 lb one . Just say a 25 lb db is $x.xx and be done with it !

weekend was pretty good except for being 100 + heat index. been working on "Jill" and have to get up at 6 am to do it before it gets too hot/humid. Hope to shoot the first color coat on the t-tops withing the next week to 10 days But will be busy this week. Working in the Produce dept while the regular guy is on vacation , which means early days all week and my step daughter is getting married this weekend so will be busy with last minute stuff for that .

Do you work every weekend ? Seems like it . LOL that would suck ! I only work a saturday every once in awhile and a sunday even less often but it sucks when it happens .

Maybe you are getting tired of hearing it but ... You are doing great with your eating program and wo's !

Jill · 07-11-2004, 09:01 PM

I never get tired of hearing that Im doing great...Never. You are just the sweetest thing Gary!!!

I do work almost every Sat, and usually every second sun. I dont mind-I get my days of during the week, and the weekends is when I make the most $$$$$$$$! -Im in sales

I bet "Jill" will look even more smokin when she gets some color!!!! Have fun planning the wedding too!!

Sapphire · 07-12-2004, 05:18 AM

Morning Gary!

Guess what! I did 95 pounds on bench 3 reps on Sunday, OK 2 1/2 reps, the last one I got a SERIOUS spot. But that was my last set. I am happy about it, 120 pounds is coming!

Well, I have two tapes and they give very different results. What's up with that? The one from my wife's sewing kit gives larger numbers, and one that came with a set of digital calipers gives smaller numbers. Since I'm bulking I'll use the one that gives larger numbers, and when cutting I'll use the other one.

I'll second that. Been following her journal and Jill should be giving lessons on how to do it.
