A Baker's dozen

Your shoulders are involved in so many movements- that must be a bitch- I mean even with benching and things like db rowing when the weight is hanging before you pull it up. How do you get around it-not make the problem worse? Is it painful?

It's painful, but it only hurts when I do maximal overhead pressing movements. When I bench, I don't feel any pain. Heck, I do 200 pound T-Bar Rows with no pain. Nada.

The only thing that I've had to change is dropping all overhead pressing movements. Even pulling movements pose no problem.
 
Very good Bulgarian squats - those are very taxing, even 3 rep sets have me owned.
 
whoa! nice smiley.
 
Wow you got one hell of a pull! The DB bench looks strong to me.
 
Brutus- Well, I'm no P-funk but thanks. :)

Gazhole- Thanks. I like bulgarians a lot- it's a cool movement.

I enjoy them too. Its pretty useful when you need a hard hitting leg movement other than regular squats (for whatever reason. mine is that my gym doesnt have a squat rack).

Destroyed. I liked doing the core/ stabilization movements at the end of my warmup. I felt strong on the snatches and deadlifts but the DB bench was a bitch. My pressing is still a weak point for me.

Nice Bulgarian squats. Have you ever tried using barbells rather than dumbbells? I had success with barbells, because it helped me keep my balance.

Thanks KelJu. I use DB's to work on my balance and to improve my grip. On my 3 x 3 weeks I may have to use a bb because I pretty much max my grip out at 100's for reps. :shrug:
 
Great w/o Brother Baker!!! Strong #'s my Friend!!! I have learned in the past to alternate the BB versions w/ the DB versions of exercises to break plateaus, just my 2 cents!!!
 
Thats my main problem on bulgarian squats, BALANCE! I used 80's a few weeks ago and was about to fall over. The weight seemed very light, but balance is the issue. Nice work BB.
 
DD- Yeah, when I first start doing bulgarian's it was like wtf my balance is shit! hahahaha


Today-

Tai chi/ 1 hour

Rest day
 
Ahhhhhhhh, rest and Tai Chi, Good Stuff Brother BB!!!

I'm happy with my progress thus far. This is such a great program. I have P to thank for that as he helped me out with it big time. :yes: The front squats/ pullups were brutal. It looks so simple on paper but after doing two reps of my max clean (my first exercise) I was pretty tanked. I'm getting used to the idea of doing my core work first- and I like it way better- as P said once- if you put it at the beginning with your warmup you are more likely to get it done.
 
Excellent workout BB. I have really expanded my training from your and Yellowmomba's journals. I want to thank you for that!
 
Great w/o Brother BB!!! Your w/o's are very interesting and motivational!!!
 
BB - How long are you in the gym? Just under an hour ?? The 30 sec RIs on the C/Ps look tough.
