gaining for the gridiron

[Burner02]

Hey p-funk-
I too rely mainly on my military presses for mass.
(I mainly do db presses, for some reason bar bells hurt my shoulders, (Rotator cuff problem....foot ball injury, actually)
He would just have to make sure he uses light enought weights and with good form.
I used to do a lot of incline db bench press as first exercise, my anterior delts over powered rest of the girdle. I lessened that exercise, added in more side and rear lateral raises to even out my delts.
My oveall delts have grown. They are wider.
If he does them, I again repeat that he does them correctly.

sorry i haven't posted in my journal for a week, ive been busy as hell with school but ive only got 5 more days. i had to skip my chest and back workouts last week cause of scheduling but toher than that i hit the others, when summer comes im finally gonna have time to lift a lot.

 

[RCfootball87]

had to skip chest wokrout monday and leg workuot yesterday, bnut ill probably do legs tommorow instead. i HATE school!

 

[RCfootball87]

well ive had a sucky summer so far for lifting. right after school got out i went to football camp for the better part of a week, and came back with a sprained ankle, bruised rib, and swollen up elbow. so i spent most of this week recovering. im hoping to start up again monday. i haven't lost any size, although i think i lost a little body fat practicing 7 hours a day at camp. ill keep a post of how it goes.

Did good this week with lifting, three solid workouts and a great chest and great leg workout. Went from 137 back up to about 139.

 

[RCfootball87]

Last week I had a number of incidents(like car crashes) interfere with my workouts, so I ended up having to skip legs for the week as well as biceps/triceps. However, I have hit every workout this week really good so its back in order.

 

[RCfootball87]

Well I've pretty much been sticking to working out and lifting. I've shown a little improvement in strength since the last post.

 

[RCfootball87]

On Thursday I did a new max in my worst lift, the bench press. I did 135 and I weigh a little over 140 right now so I'm close to the 1x. The funny part is that I benched only 115 a few weeks earlier but read an article about form from mudge which made all the difference.

Nice job.

It's funny to read the old posts I use to make, and the advice you gave me, and realize just how much knowledge about lifting and nutrition and supplementation I've gained since I came here. I would still be confused if it wasn't for this site. And I'd probably be like 20 pounds lighter.

 

[RCfootball87]

Practice is in full swing, And I benched 140 at a body weight of 145 the other day.

On JV I'm starting at running back and linebacker, and on and on varsity I will see a little time at either or both, and will probably start on kickoff team or something. On an unrelated note, I destroyed a kid 30 pounds heavier than me in tackling drills today.

 

[P-funk]

Way to go......keep on killin' 'em

 

[RCfootball87]

I currently weigh 155 at a height of 5' 9". The season just ended yestetrday with a first round exit from the playoffs. For a recap of the year on JV I mainly played outsid elienbacker and special teams, and got like 70 tackles or so in 8 games. On varsity I played Kickoff return and some linebacker. I actually started one game at lienbacker due to injury, which was pretty cool. I think for the whole season on varsity got close to twenty or so tackles. I'm looking to add thirty pounds this year and go up to 185, and then gain some speed and maybe play running back and backer on varsity

 

[titans1854]

you started a varsity game at linebacker weighing 155? what kind of teams do you play? i play CB and WR on my JV team. i'm like 5'9, 145. if i played in a varsity game i would get murdered. my team is in one of the best leagues and the best divisions in the country. don't take this the wrong way, i'm not putting you down or anything but what is the quality of the teams you play? i don't know how well known they are around the country but in my divsion there are teams like Los Alamitos, Mission Viejo, Loyola, and Orange Luthern. I'm sure you don't know what the hell i'm talking about unless you live in California.
