Routine question an muscle loss?

GoLdeN M 07 · 06-29-2006, 06:48 PM

1) will doing 4 sets of arnold presses and 2 sets of seated bb military presses on the same day increase shoulder (lateral delt mostly) development greatly or is too much for one day.]

2) In the past few weeks its been kind of strange because i've been losing some muscle for some reason when my strength has been increasing. Just 2 weeks ago i had alot of lateral deltoid development which i was very proud of. I was happy and thought that if i keep on doing this i will be all set for the summer. Several days after there wasnt as much muscle even when i was working out and eating just like i always was even before the problem.

Honestly its really fucking pissing me off because i had alot of shoulder develpment and thought that i just had to do several more days of military pressing and i would be ready to would be ready to wear a sleevless shirt. Now its like i start all over again.

1 - Depends on the rest of your program, but that is probably reasonable enough.

2 - You didn't lose any significant amount of muscle mass in a few/several days. You are imagining things.

I can tell from your routine(in his signature) you do not like to do too many exercises, also you have no rowing or pull-ups/downs, too much pressing comepared to pulling can be bad for your shoulders, this is only 8 sets a day and should work good for you.
Day 1
BB Bench Press 4 sets x 5-8
Row 4 sets
Day 2- Off
Day 3
ATG Squats 4 sets x 5-8
RDL 4 sets x 5-8
Day 4- Odd
Day 5
Any overhead Press 4 sets x 5-8
Pull-up/Pull-downs 4 sets x5-8
Day 6- Off
Day 7- Off

im serious usually when i used to look in the mirror and look at my back, i could see a curve on my shoulders from lateral deltoid development. Now its not there as much for some reason. Also i had been sick but that had gone away last week so i dont know if that had somehtiung to do with it.

golden, you overthink things too much. your 15, how big do you think your lateral delts are going to get? gain weight and in 5 years worry about them when the rest of your body is up to speed.

Exactly. You need to just gain mass overall and stop worrying about it.

Plus, I don't care what you say, you didn't lose any significant amount of muscle mass in a matter of a few days. You can stop working out for a couple of weeks and lose little to no strength/size.
