you're gonna keep doing other stuff that doesn't use your shoulder right?

It's two days. No, I'm taking the rest of the weekend off completely. I may go run tomorrow night to reduce some stress while I have a lot of homework to do, but other than that... nothing.

Thanks, Arch.

With all the icing I've been doing, I'd imagine I'll be fine by Monday.

soxmuscle · 03-06-2008, 01:30 PM

So I eased back into things very nicely on Monday with a Dynamic Effort bench day and felt little to no irritation from my shoulder.

My roommate is an athletic training major and had some nice equipment I wouldn't have otherwise had, had he not be around.

Tuesday was a big day for me. I had two tests and a paper due and naturally I procrastinated until the last second. I woke up at 7AM and took an adderall and studied my ass off all day. Infact, as far as I'm concerned, I did really well on both tests and even better on the paper.

With that said, by the time my obligations for the day was over, I was starting to crash and didn't have much energy left for a Maximum Effort Squat day. Did well nonetheless though.

Highlights:
Squats - 315x3, 325x1
SLDL - 275x5, 300x5
Weighted Chins - 85x5, 105x3
T-Bar Rows - 160x5, 135x5

I wanted/felt like I could do more as I started getting my second wind after the squats, but like I said before, the ME days are the bread and butter and the DE days are for everything else.

SLDL's were great, I haven't done those in a while. Squats were good even though I didn't hit any PR's, T-Bar rows were excellent as well. The best part of the day was the weighted chins... when you start to add 100 pounds to your bodyweight, things get messy.. people were giving me looks, people were asking for tips inbetween sets.. it was a pretty cool feeling.

Workout here shortly, ME Bench. Let's hope the shoulder doesn't give me any fits.

PreMier · 03-06-2008, 02:14 PM

If I don't get it Friday, I won't be able to start it until after Spring Break.

I'm really nervous. I technically could have left for Spring Break on Tuesday night but decided to stay until Friday because we had a basketball game last night, I enjoy getting extra days of good sleep and well I wanted to get this product for it.

Still though, I can't push it back any farther so if it doesn't come by Friday, I won't be starting it anytime soon.

Sucks.

I'll be a great tester when I start the damn thing, I'm just not going to sit around all week and wait for something when I could be working and making money at home.

Nothing too exciting in tonight's session.

My shoulder limited me from maxing out, so I just stayed in the 3 rep range on the bench and I avoided any military presses or things like that.

I did try doing some light Floor Presses which was probably the best part of my workout tonight.

According to Dave Tate; "Floor Press: This is a special max effort exercise designed to help strengthen the midpoint of the bench press. It is also very effective in increasing tricep strength. This exercise is performed exactly the same as the bench press except you lay on the ground instead of on a bench. Make sure to pause in the bottom of the movement before the accent. This exercise has been used with much success at westside barbell club for the past seven years."

So yea, those were fun.

Also, it looks like I'll be getting that supp in the mail after all, according to the USPS online tracking. Psyched.

w/b sox. glad to hear your shoulder isn't holding you back! just continue to be careful, yea?

the other half · 03-07-2008, 09:35 AM

Scarface30 · 03-07-2008, 10:30 AM

I'm really liking your style of workouts too.

Thats cool that you live with some one with equipment to help with your recovery.
Ive never seen any one do weighted chins that heavy at my gym.

Being very careful.

Alot of icing and yesterday in the hot tub with the jet massaging it for old times sake, it made me realize why I loved that gym so much.

Oh, you'll get there.

Time + Effort = ...oh wait, I was told there would be no math, but you get the point..

Awesome, mang. With this new supplement, expect some PR's in the not so distant future.

I rarely see people do weighted chins/pull-ups, so yea, I guess by default thats the heaviest I've ever seen at the gym either
