Why so much shoulder work?
-
so, your legs are already to big...... ;)
Personally i don`t like to train 3 muscle-groups in 1 Training-session. When i train 10 exercises (as you did) in 1 Training-Session the intensity can`t be so high, as when i training 5-6 exercises.

I am always so inspired when someone who is a parapaligic or double amputee has the courage to get in the gym and continue to improve.
Stay strong, brother!

Wheelchair. Functional training

Got to agree - no leg work is folly and sessions with way too many muscle groups
-
How do you recover from this. Too volume IMO, and i'm a huge fan of volume training.

"outer lifts".. ???
Too much bi and tri work.
"forward lift" ???

Doing chest and back in the same day seems a bit rough. I personally don't do two big muscle groups on the same day..... it's just too much. I would go with chest on day 1 and back on day 2.
Mine looks something like this
day 1: Chest
day 2: Back
day 3: Shoulders/Abs
day 4: Arms/Calves
day 5: Quads/Hams/Abs
This routine has worked well for me. I've been working the 5x5 protocol on the chest day and I've gotten great gains from it.

ok thanks guys first things first. i still have use of my legs and iam not in a wheelchair, but it was funny. ok so the reason i work sholders so much is 1. because i have really weak sholders and there small. 2 because if i dont work chest and back with only a day between them i feel like iam getting weaker so i keep my workouts close together.

If you are a natty, less is more, and even if you are on cycle, unless you have abnormal recovery and know your body very well (which I would guess you don't) then you shouldn't be doubling up body parts twice a week yet.

1. Leaving your legs out of the program is a bad idea. Working your legs hard will make you stronger over all. I'm not sure about this but I heard it lets alot of testosterone out enabling you to grow.
2. shoulders has a "u" in it and over working your shoulders will not make them stronger but will most likely hurt them. Rest is good and very necessary.
3. If you kill your shoulders one day and work chest the next then you won't be getting your full potential on chest that day due to your shoulders still being beat down and tired so try and keep the two muscles atleast a day apart.
4. I'm no pro and these are only my personal findings and opinions but like I said, my program has worked well for me with no injuries ( and I go as hard as I possibly can)so that has to say something.
