I dont need to go to the firehouse to play with my long hose....just need to dig in my pants lol!

Yea I noticed your w/o!! Glad you tried it...its frustrating once the grip limits you but once it pays off its worth it. Every once in a while I'll use some straps to change it up but I dont rely on them.

Hey, nice to see you "visit" us And I don't believe in shitty w/o's!!! At least you got in there and did something, better than nothing.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Overall shitty w/o....not pleased at all. I wasted all my energy on legs and my deads that the rest of my w/o sucked. I had no desire to w/o and was dead tired to begin with so by the time I got to the end I was shot!

I WILL do better tomorrow!

Brother Bolt, that was one heckuva w/o!!! And a fullbody one to boot. How does the shoulder feel now?

GaryLOL heya pal!! Thanks for poppin in! I agree its better then nothing but I think even though it benefits the body it kills the mind some. Kinda mentally drains you when things don't go the way planned ya know?

Arch Thanks bud!! Yea I enjoy fullbody w/o's but I miss my old routines! HOPEFULLY knock on wood if my new schedual falls through with work I will be going back to a normal routine next week!!

Shoulder feels good...I am still not pushing the workouts....only thing I go heavy on are my deadlifts b/c they dont bother me one bit. Other then that I stay light. I plan on doing full chest routines and such but going really light and sticking to smith machine inclines, flat machine press, and other light stuff like pec dec...maybe some cable X overs or some assisted dips. Little things like that not to taxing of the shoulder. Same will all other lifts as well...gonna incorporate more things but nothing that bothers the shoulder to much.

Almost missed this one! LOL funny...I try to visit every now and again. I gotta keep you guys on your toes ya know cant keep anything to constant wouldn't be my style! I feel ya man but like I said to gary its more mind taxing then body taxing. Its ok tomorrows workout will be much better...got an idea of how to get a better grip by changing the oly bar I ussually use. Hope it works.

Well I just got my insurance back this week and was thinking of going to get the mri done. Not sure if it would be beneficial now b/c what ever is done it is most likely healed over with scar tissue. I wanted to go tomorrow if I go at all.

What would you suggest?

Overal a DAMN good workout today. I promised a good one and by damnit I delivered a good one!!!

Deads were caked...made the hands bleed cause the ripped the skin clean off lol. But they still felt somewhat light I think I could go a tad heavier if the grip was there. No belt no strpas no gloves...just raw!

Squats felt awsome...I really like that machine but in order to feel anything I had to go a tad heavier. I really went all out on those things though I was huffin and puffin and sweatin my ass off. Those were done to failure lol. No belt no knee wraps...just raw!

Everything else was just the standard stuff...switched to incline press...they were tuff but done slow and controled they didn't bother me to much.

Got a little direct delt work in...felt really good actually but I'm still going for the MRI now I'll see ya guys later!!

Powertec squats OH NO !!!! Did you do them flat footed on the floor or did you use the angled treadplate ? I really like mine .

Glad the shoulder felt good

Looks like a good workout. Nice numbers on the tri's!

DeadBolt

Gary Thanks bud...everything felt awsome! I did the squats on the angled treadplate...its the only way its not removable or anything and its to high to just stand on the ground. I took a neutral stance towards the center so next week I'll move my stance closer and closer to the inner edge to make it more difficult.

Arch Thanks man I appreciate it! Shoulder is doing great..little tingles here and there but nothing major. I am waiting on my mri still wasn't able to get it today. Waiting for the insurance to approve it...forgot they had to do that. So maybe next week or so!

BearThanks pal! My tri's arre my genetic high point lol...only thing I got goin for me!

HMMMMMM... I've done both ( tread plate and on the floor ) Right now I'm doing them with feet on the floor feet , not quite shoulder wide.

I don't remember but i don't think I went that heavy when using the treadplate. You are a strong MoFo

Are you sure these are a good idea for the shoulder? Doesnt the SM take out the natural ROM? What deg* is the bench at?
