y all the rotator therapy,

I'm 38y/o, I do rotator therapy before EVERY workout. Over the years i've seen my fair share of physical therapist. The short story of the long story is this: Your only as strong as your weakest link. You are not working the rotator muscles with weight over 3lbs, your working the larger muscle heads of the deltoids. The first line of defense from keeping your arms from popping out like a Ken doll is the smaller muscles that hold the shoulder in joint. 1-3lbs is all anyone needs to hit the rotator muscles. I've had 3 and have talked to six different physical therapist over the past 8 years who all agree. Two of which worked with the Clemson Tigers football programm in the ACC of the NCAA.
I did have a bone spur removed from my left shoulder in 2006 and it looks like I need one removed from the right shoulder sometime. I'm gonna try and wait till after October of this year to do that.

80-90% of what I do is what I post. Sometimes in a post I leave out the little stuff, sometimes i leave out the major stuff. I believe in "KISS", "Keep It Simple Stupid", I use the progressive overload approach with a slight twist of the instinctive training priciple while watching out for signs of overtraining then use a wave week to insure recovery. Hit the core lifts once every seven days with some auxilary movements to finish.

Stubborn · « **Reply #88 on:** April 27, 2008, 07:23:22 PM »

Thanks for elaborating. I train in a similar fashion most of the time.

Hows the arm feeling lately? Ready for some big numbers in a couple months?

the arm is feeling fine, i think it's back 100%. I've changed from an alt grip to the hook grip for the deadlift and am already within a 110lbs of my previous PR. I will pull 725 on October 11TH. There is a UPA MEET here in Greenville,SC on that date.

Yes, SQUATS ARE WHAT KINGS ARE MADE OF...

SQUAT
3x5x225
3x5x405 added belt here
1x495 loose 2.5M wraps
1x585 lil' tighter - deep squat, shannon said my butt touched my calves
1x635 very snug - not as deep but well below depth
1x675 no chances - put them on tight, ass to grass, no doubt deep butt touched calves.

Unracked the 635...stood there looking in the mirror and saw a smile come across my face. This weight was EASY.
675 felt the same. 700 will rise soon.

Thats crazy pressing, awesome work. What are u doing for rotator work?

davie

nasht5 · « **Reply #96 on:** May 07, 2008, 10:37:28 AM »

Rotator work: 2.5lbs plates, one in each hand

standing front alternating raise. Alt raising your hands to chin height, 2x20

side lateral raise. Raise your hands out to the sides until your hands are even with your shoulders, 2x20

bent over rear lateral raise. with your knees bent and your upper body at or about 45 degree angle, raise your hands out to the side and a little forward. imagine you have a laser light level beaming out of your ears and you want your hands to stop even with your ears.

laying on your left side, tuck your right elbow on your right side, hold the 2.5plate acorss your stomach, keep your elbow tucked into your side as you rotate your arm upward as far as you can go. 2x20
repeat this lying on your right side and do this exercise with your left arm, 2x20

I may think about doing this challange. Ya know, the next challenge is going to have to be something with the squat.....

Its the only thing left. People would just have to set up their camera perfectly so depth could be judged properly.

I would say 405 for reps but I dont think we would have enough entrants. Everyone on this entire board benches and only a few people are set to do the 225 for reps challenge. WTF?! Lots of talk around here, not much follow through.
