For an hour of my shift at the gym today, I had the pleasure of walking around with a screw driver and tearing the old Bosu balls apart and throwing them in the trash.

God that was satisfying.

Good! Now it’s turn of the pink dumbbells.

Not sure how well a screwdriver will do on dumbbells…maybe a sledgehammer. That way it’s GPP too.

Tonight’s run was pretty good, first time running with my ipod. It was nice, took the focus off the sound of my breath. Though that also served to increase my focus on my burning legs. Oh well.

Mine is something closer to a miniature ponyshoe, those sad little things that you see at petting zoo’s or kid’s birthday parties.

I was always good at four-square, maybe i’ll use the time I had been lifting to get back into that.

Also, I think there is a Cross-Fit near here, I’ve always wanted to excel at nothing but also not quite suck.[/quote]

Hmmm. Your long head goes about half way down, not exactly top of the line, but mine aren’t either… (and still far better than what I see on most people)

What I’m trying to figure out is: Where the fuck did your medial head disappear to? Your tris are literally non-existant around the elbow…
Maybe you’d actually benefit from some close-grip floor presses, lockouts or elbows-tucked CGP’s…

Weird.

The long and lateral head should be fine, though, You won’t exactly end up with Levrone’s arms (ha!), but what’s there can be made bigger.

And still I’m wondering about your medial head…

Btw, if you don’t know which one that is:

That would be entertaining (GPP is a plus). I bet you played some heavy metal. I still have the pump of my chest and bi’s workout.

CC, right now im working tris twice a week

Day 1 - RG In Humans and Overhead extensions
Day 2 - CG In Humans and PJR pullovers

should I drop any of these ? Maybe plug in Lockouts in place of OH extensions ?

I realized long ago I wasn’t made to step on stage, but I can live with that, I just wanna look like a big, strong motherfucker.

As always, any input is welcome.

Yesterdays Back

Seated Cable Row (V handle):

230x11, 6, 4 RP
*Strict, good stretch between reps

Wide-grip Lat Pulldown:

200x10, 6, 5 RP
*Strict, good stretch between reps

I debated even doing my next 2 exercises because doing these two so strict and rest paused felt like I had done enough?but I kept going anyway.

HS Row:

10plates x10
10plates x10
10plates x9

*Chest-supported row stretch ? 60 seconds then had to let it go due to grip

HS High Row:

8plates+25s x10
8plates+25s x10
8plates+25s x9

*Wide-grip hanging stretch ? 80-90seconds, brutal agony!

[/quote] That’s the only “In-Human”-exercise there is, IH is a guy over at IntenseMuscle and described that way of doing CGP’s a long time ago. Since the exercise doesn’t have any proper name, I just started calling it In-Human CGP :wink: [quote]

[/quote] Hmmm. That’s that program which I gave you, right? Leave it as it is for now (as long as you keep on progressing at a good pace).
How have your numbers improved since you started doing that?

Btw, did you get that mail?

Ok, question. I am right handed but my left arm is a tad bigger (not really noticeable… I think it has to do with waiting tables and carrying trays at the restaurant). Anyways, after JB’s rear tricep shot, I was looking in the mirror and flexing my tris, looking at them from behind, and it looks like my left tri is significantly bigger/fully/the long head pops more. Odd. I’m hoping maybe it’s the lighting or something, but I do feel a stronger mind-muscle connection in my left arm for some reason, so maybe I need to flex my right more often. I’ll see if I can get a picture.

I’m right handed and my right arm is slightly bigger, and actually literally has different attachments. My bicep incertion point is higher on my right than on my left. My tricep is also shaped different on my left side as well, the medial head I believe is shaped different, and doesn’t hook as much as the right one, so there’s less of a horse-shoe shape on my left.

Its pretty ghey, but when people ask to see my arms I usually just flex my right one at them and don’t flex the left one - lol.

My left arm is about half an inch bigger than my right, too.
I have a better m/m connection to my right bicep than my left, though, and my right bicep peaks more than the left, left is slightly longer :wink:
Left Tricep is bigger than Right tricep (lateral head is a little meatier).

Originally, my right arm was bigger… Until 1 year after I started training seriously…

Do get the pics up (So I can call you a malformed freak ;D) though.

Oh, damn well now I don’t feel so bad. Except both of my differences for the worse are on my left lol. Right bicep peaks more and the tricep is meatier. I’m just gunna stick to flexing my right only when asked. lol


Relaxed

flexed kind of. the lighting is no good for showing detail, but it gives you an idea. My tris suck balls (not for too much longer though, thanks to the help I’ve gotten here)


and one for fun hahaha.

I can’t wait to get rid of the love handles :slight_smile:

When I look straight down at my chest my left pec is significantly bigger than my other. I was looking the mirror the other day too shirtless and it appears that my nipples aren’t even either because of this. That’s messed up right there.

Ceph - I never received an email from you.
