Heya bud long time no see! Everything is doing well....shoulder is feeling better. Still get minor pain here and there but nothin I can't handle. I am just going light and taking it easy for now....probably for the next few months I'm staying light. No direct delt work shit like that.

MUCH different LOL. The man was like 195lbs but the way I have to pick him up and transfer him to a new wheelchair is insane. My arms are fully extended in order for me to get him up and over as well as not bumping into the wheels and stuff. Its just an awkward movement.

Never got the mri....never got insurance yet....I assesed my problem myself. I figured it was just a sprained rotator cuff...grade 2 level 2/3 (torn but not severed). I could have used surgery but because I waited so long it started to heal on its own and I'm sure there a shitload of scare tissue now.

Nothing I can really do right now b/c I can't afford anything so I'm just playing doctor for myself and judging by the things I've learned in my sports medicine class....and its pretty right on according to him.

Squat
185*8
205*7
225*2+1 w/ spot

Dealift
185*7
195*5
205*4
~~busted my shins open today...they are all raw. Killer wearing my leather boots for work today

Bench Press
95*10*3

B/o Row
100*10
100*8

Vbar Pushdown
100*15
120*12

DB Curl
30's*10
35's*7

Overall it was an OK workout...this going super heavy with the squats numerous times a week wont work....just kills me. I am going to switch my workouts around after today. One day rest in between going that heavy isn't enough. I will lighten it up for friday and go for some more reps then take a break from squatting next week...gonna use the press and cycle that for 2 weeks like I said earlier.

Squats and Deads had some increased reps except the last set of each stayed the same or went down one slightly...no biggy.

Bench felt awfull today! Shoulder was really tight and panfull...I went really light and it still bothered it.

B/o rows stayed the same....man those are tuff LOL.

V's and Curls allw ent up in reps...felt really good!

Next 2 weeks I may do this:
Leg Press 3 sets*8-10
SLDL 3 sets*8-10
Machine Bench 3 sets*8-10
Lat Pulldown 2 sets*8-10
Skull Crushers 2 sets*8-10
BB Curl 2 sets*8-10

Anything else you think I should throw in or take out?

Hye thanks for stoppin in bud! Yea my shins were killin me...I came just a tad to close on the last few pulls lol.

Thats my only genetic high point...my tri's. Only good thing I got goin for me heh. No matter how fat I get or how weak I get my tri's always stay strong and I always keep my visible horse shoe!

Yeah that looks like a good workout there deadbolt, sucks to hear about your shins though!

Nice job on improving the V's and curls, all about progress my good man, one rep/weight at a time.

Looks good to me, I might vary it up between the 45 sled and horizontal leg press if you can, but that's just me. Good idea on using the machine bench, see how that holds up for your shoulder.

DeadBolt

Actually we just got about 5 new machines for legs...got a new squat machine sorta like the powertec gary has and a bunch others. I was thinking of trying them all out LOL. But my favorit is the 45 sled.

Alaric

Lol, why not, you're paying for your membership anyways, you might as well try every machine out once. Heck when I start paying for my membership, I'm probably gonna go crazy and even tryout some PINK dumbells

Do you use a spot when you're going heavy on the 45 sled? If so, how would that work, does he stand behind you/beside you?

Archangel

Dynamite w/o there Brother Bolt!!! Sucks about the shoulder. How would the pec dec feel? Just curious!!! Your numbers are lookin solid too, Keep it up

Yea thus far I've tried all the machines out just for shits and giggles but now there are some new ones so I have to try them out as well LOL.

I never use a spot for my leg presses really. Every so often when I REALLY go to failure which is rare I get two guys to stand on the sides and grab the shafts where you slide the plates on...as I fail they grab them just to pause the weight while I put the stoppers back in place. Its hard to spot on that b/c the weight is so much one man alone its hard for them to manage that weight.

If you need them there though just get them to grab onto the sled thats moving and help you there....only real way to do it.

Thanks bud!! Yea shoulder will always have problems just need to be carefull. Pec deck is KILLER on the shoulder...probably one thing I may never use again. Just about all pressing movements hurt and anything to do with chest or delts hurts my shoulder. I'm really limited on what I can do as far as workouts. No pull ups of any sort...no real chest/delt work...can't do alot lol. I could sit here all night and list things that would kill my shoulder.

Yea numbers are growing nicely...but now I'm gonna back off a little and go for some lighter weights more reps. Then I'll cycle into heavy again. I can feel it already and don't want to risk another injury. Staying between 1-4 reps is dangerous IMO if done for to long.

tgif...no way my saturdays are fridays LOL. I work saturday mornings...4:45am ...so now I have a free weekend heh.

How was your weekend bud?

In reality I'm not really working my "shoulder" just all the other muscles

I don't have any pain really in it anymore so now I'm just doing some light work to get back into things before I shrink to death. I'm not pushign it at all.

This weekend....I worked 6 days straight this week so I haven't really been around.

Friday I was suppose to be at work @ 8am but didn't wake up till 9am lol...I was an hour and a half late. Hung out with my girlfriend afterwards b/c I was to tired to doa nything else.

Saturday I went into work at 4:45am....was up by 3:30am thought to get ready so I got like no sleep! I didn't get home till 2pm ish. I am so exhausted there is no way I would be able to go to the gym.

Diet was really shitty these past few days. Just been so busy with work and everything I don't have time for life. I just got my set schedual so now things will be a little better. I am trying to get my financial status sorted out....got some MAJOR bills I need to pay off these next few weeks or I'm screwed LOL.

Other then that everything is the same ol'...shoulder is feeling better. Now I don't get pain from everyday use...just when I do pressing movements ie:bench press etc...

Yea I try not to....for once in my life I'm not upset at the way I look. I mean yea I'm not ripped and have that defined 6pack but thats not really a main concern to me anymore. I am really just looking to put on some mass once my shoulder is healed up. I'm tired of such strict dieting like I have been doing for the last year and a half. I have only bulked once in my life and never again. I will maintain a higher level of cals from now on and just lookin to grow.

As for work...thats all been sorted out and I dropped a few hours so I wont have to worry about that. But I'm not looking forward to summer classes LOL.
