I'm starting to be a little concerned about the incline DB presses... I broke my collar bone 3 years ago, and during the first 2 or 3 warmup sets it bother me a little, but after that it's fine. Now however, there's some pain in it when I move my arm/shoulder in certain ways. I'm wondering If I should cut inclines out, or just tough it through.

Listen to your body Brother, don't be foolish, there is a difference in discomfort and PAIN!!! I would maybe check it out with your DR. Good luck with it!!!

Well, during warmups it's more discomfort which goes away usually by the time I get to my working sets, but right now as I said, it hurts when I move my arm certain ways.

Just be careful Brother, ya don't want to suffer a huge set back ya know???
If it hurts too deep I would definatly have it checked out!!! Could just be some scar tissue, but still be careful!!!

Yeah I know, I definately don't want a setback. If it still bothers me on back day (saturday) I'll have it checked out.

I'm not really hugely concerned about it, but I'll keep an eye on it. If it bothers me saturday I'll have it checked out. Inclines are the only things it's bothered me on. It hasn't bothered me on anything else, even shoulder press. If it eventually leads to having to cut out inclines, or just goes light on them, that's fine with me, but again I hope it's not that big of a deal.

Power: Legs
Today's w/o was pretty good. I felt like I squated the best I have in a while, but the SLDL was a little shakey form wise (feels like it's working my back more than hams, oddly though on saturday, my deadlifts felt like they worked the hams more than the back). The 2nd set of SLDL felt better, but I know there's something wrong form wise, just keep working on it I guess.
Also, I REALLY need to get new shoes. I have a couple blisters on the top of my right foot which I noticed before going today and thought "Great, on leg day too." I think the shoes are just too small, and they're meant for running as well... Thursday 5-19-05 Legs Squats 1st set: 165lbs 6 reps PR - I did do 170 for 4 once, but form wasn't good so it doesn't count 2nd set: 175lbs 6 reps PR SLDL 1st set: 165lbs 6 reps PR form felt weird though 2nd set: 155lbs 6 reps Leg Press 1st set: 400lbs 6 reps 2nd set: 400lbs 5 reps Leg Extensions 1st set: 145lbs 6 reps PR 2nd set: 145lbs 6 reps Leg Curls 1st set: 130lbs 6 reps PR 2nd set: 130lbs 6 reps Seated Calf Raises 1st set: 220lbs 6 reps 2nd set: 220lbs 6 reps 3rd set: 175lbs 14 reps (wanted to get a nice burn) |

Thanks Archie and G-Dub.
![]() How the arm treating you GW? Hope it heals up fast for you. On the other hand, if it stays like that for a couple years, maybe I can catch up ![]() Also, the Leg Press I use isn't the kind where you push the weight up. You sit on a seat and you actually put the weight on the seat and you push the seat itself up, so I think in addition to the weight on the seat you're also pushing your bodyweight up. |

No, it's not a Hack Squat machine, it's a leg press. I'll try and see if I can find and post a picture of it for ya.
This is kind of what it looks like, but it's not exactly it. The place where you put your feet is maybe a little higher up than here, but this is basically how you're seated. Last edited by Seanp156 : 05-20-2005 at 10:07 AM. |

Power: Back/Biceps
Today's W/O was pretty good and fun as well. There was hardly anyone at all in the gym b/c it's a really nice day outside. At any one time, the most people there was probably around 7, for a while there were only 3 including me. Needless to say, I got my w/o done pretty quick.
Overall I have been noticing some nice gains on P/RR/S. From my first power week to this one (3 weeks later) Most of my lifts have gone up a decent amount and I've gained about 4-6lbs so I'm hoping things keep going well. Only thing I'm having trouble with is deciding when/if to cut. Saturday May 21st Back/Biceps/Abs BB Bent Rows 1st set: 155lbs 6 reps 2nd set: 155lbs 6 reps BB Shrugs 1st set: 215lbs 6 reps PR 2nd set: 225lbs 8 reps PR Hyper Extensions 1st set: 25lbs 12 reps 2nd set: 35lbs 10 reps PR Cable Lat Pull Downs 1st set: 222.5lbs 12 reps PR? 2nd set: 222.5lbs 10 reps BB Curls 1st set: 80lbs 6 reps PR 2nd set: 75lbs 6 reps Concentration Curls 1st set: 35lbs 5 reps PR 2nd set: 30lbs 6 reps Decline Situps 1st set: 25lbs plate 30 reps 2nd set: 35lbs plate 20 reps Weighted Crunch machine 1st set: 100lbs 20 reps 2nd set: 90lbs 20 reps Cardio: 15 minutes elliptical, 11/20 resistance, max crossramp/incline 1.58 miles |

Rep Range: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Wow, lots of posts since I've been here last, sorry about being a little late.
Billie - No, I didn't take any extra days of the gym, my days are tuesday, thursday, and saturday ![]() GW - Thanks man Trizzle - No, I don't play any sports competitively. I used to play tennis in 8th and 9th grade, and I continued to take lessions and play for fun up until last year and was fairly decent at it. I don't think I like competitive sports because I don't really enjoy competing against other people directly most of the time. I might take up some type of martial arts if I get the time to sometime, or maybe join some fun indoor soccer league or something. Sports to me are more about fun than competition. Today's workout was very good, even though I don't think I hit any PR's weight wise, I did use more weight for the same amount of reps or more than last times Rep Range session. I'm about 1.5 weeks away from graduation and I've been really busy finishing up last minute schoolwork, and I'm also fillling in for a friend at work while she's in Florida; lucky her.... So, today I had to get my workout in fast so I could make it in to work to get things finished on time, but it was still a good w/o. Archie - Thanks bud ![]() Tuesday 5-24-05 Chest/Shoulders/Triceps/Abs DB Flat Bench 1st set – 55lbs 8 reps 2nd set – 50lbs 10 reps 3rd set – 40lbs 12 reps DB Incline Bench 1st set - 45lbs 9 reps 2nd set – 35lbs 12 reps Standing DB Shoulder Press (man these are HARD compared to sitting down, I can use barely more than 1/2 the weight) 1st set – 30lbs 8 reps 2nd set – 25lbs 10 reps 3rd set – 20lbs 12 reps Upright rows 1st set – 70lbs 8 reps 2nd set – 60lbs 10 reps 3rd set- 50lbs 12 reps Skull Crushers 1st set – 50lbs 8 reps 2nd set- 45lbs 12 reps Cable Pushdowns 1st set – 90lbs 9 reps 2nd set- 100lbs 12 reps Reverse Decline Situps 1st set – 30 reps 2nd set – 20 reps Hanging leg/knee raises 1st set – 15 reps 2nd set – 15 reps Cardio – 10 minutes on stair master, 55 floors |

Thanks pylon
, if anything I need to try and get more sleep. The last week or two on the weekdays I've probably averaged around 6 hours, 1/3 of those are maybe around 5 hours.... Just too much to do right now. I gotta force myself to get off the IM forums now so I can finish I book I don't want to be up late reading !! ![]() Anyway, if I don't post until tomorrow, you'll know why, I'm not just ignoring you . |
