That will definitely confuse my muscles!

Seriously though, I'm trying to keep my arms constantly sore for a while and negatives do that, like running downhill causes more soreness than running uphill. Tendons tend to get inflamed though, notice it just grabbing regular objects like a cellphone. So I'm trying to moderate the inflammation with fish oil and curcumin and other antioxidants. Emphasizing negatives, especially on last rep, maybe adding a pure negative or two as well 8)

Shoulders were not sore after Tuesdays workout.

Working chest today. Different routine to confuse the muscle.

Will see if I’m sore or not!

on a serious note .. some people believed you should only train legs first in a full body workout but Steve Reeves trained shoulders first ..
Bill Pearl said change your routine every 6-8 weeks..why if it works?
the problem i see nowadays is no one thinks for themselves ... ::)

Today I hung upside down from the pullup bar and did bicep curls while concentrating on the negatives. Totally confused both my biceps and my triceps.

Negatives are a great confusion technique. Any weider principle is. I like super sets.


That’s why I’m one of the bigger guys here.
