*looks around*
is it safe for me to be in here?
Calvin said you guys have a decent workout thread going on in here. I've often wondered why one didn't exist actually. I mean why wouldn't it? as much as we bust balls and shit we all love to lift.
how detailed do you guys go when you post up your workouts? I've gone back a couple pages and will more later but just wanted to get my feet wet.
I'll post up what I did detailed w poundages if it's overkill I'll won't be so exacting next time.
I don't lift heavy anymore. heavy being a relative term. guess heavy is what you make of it. I prefer weight I can feel thru the entire range of motion on the muscle I'm training. if I can't feel it straining thru every inch of the rep it's too heavy for me.
today I did chest/ shoulders. I'm starting to develope bursitis in both sides now and am finding chest training w presses agonising thankfully I can do cables.
FYI I move exercise to exercise w no rest.
one set flat bench 135/205/225 no rest between increases just enough to put the plates on. shoulder killing me had to stop.
one set dumbell presses 65/85/85 same as above and again shoulder issues cut me short
pec dec unknown weight 8 reps or so rest 5 seconds repeat 3-4 times
high cable fly unknown weight 12 reps or so arms at neck height at end of movement superset w traditional cable fly w cables at waist height end movement. did this back and forth I dunno 3-4 times. chest getting good and exhausted.
shoulder press dumbbell. 45's. 12 reps rest 5 sec repeat cycle 3-4 times go back to cable flyers hit those again then back to shoulder press etc did this rotation 3 times.
side laterals 20's 12 reps nice and slow agai. same as above (superset w the cables)
shoulder press again this time alternating (fuck I love these so killer) and followed the above cycle w the cables for chest and sets.
that's it. was fried after. dunno how many sets that is but its a shit ton and really fatigues you fast w/o time to rest. typically I'll do rear delts too but they are still fried from my back/trap session yesterday. did traps for the first time in months. love rear delts traps back together. great combo.
I did no front delt work today as the high cable fly w the finish at neck height aptly fries them. I don't do this every workout. just felt like it today.
as you can see I don't use a lot of weight just a lot of volume. I find good growth in chasing the pump. truthfully I had to end my workout today short as I couldn't take the pump anymore in my delts it was not comfortable at all.
.
total workout time maybe 30min. 35 at most. but that's 35 minutes if constant motion. I'm fried when I leave.
cheers guys. think ill hammwr out back again tomorrow and legs.
