Holy shizz good luck man

Today’s Delts/Back 1

Decided to have some fun today because someone was using the rack I like for my Rack Chins…new gym has lat pulldown stations and cable row stations up to 300 lbs. Decided to see if I could max them first try…and I did, easily. lol

HS BTN Shoulder Press : 285 x 8, drop 225 x to failure

Seated DB Lateral Raise : 55s x 10, drop 40s x 10, drop 30s x 10

*My shoulders were so pumped, they looked wide as fuck - looked like I could have set a cup on my lateral head, good shit.

Flat Bar Wide-grip Pulldown : 300 x 10, drop 225 x 10

V-grip Cable Row : 300 x 9, drop 225 x 10

HS Shrug : 6pps x 16

Edit: This was actually the most ridiculous back pump I’ve had in a very long time, felt good.

I also do militaries as strict as I can. Absolutely no leg drive[/quote]

The leverages on our HS shoulder press machines must be quite a bit different. I’m only getting 285x8 right now and I’ve had people come up and tell me that’s some impressive weight…what kind of #s are you getting with a DB shoulder press if you know?

It’s really funny how so many HS machines have different leverages. I would expect them to make them standard but I guess not. If it matters I can hit 270 x 7 on behind the neck press and 360 for the same amount of reps on the regular front shoulder press.

What’s elite at your weight class? 1800 total if you hit those lifts seems pretty damn good.

1810 will get him a pro total in the IPA.

Detty, you need to take the leprechaun’s jr records.

Edit: I think the pro totals have changed, but I don’t feel like checking.

Havn’t DB shoulder pressed in a long time. I think I stopped around 70 or 80s for reps, but that was months ago.

I’m probably good for 365 for a single on that hammer strength machine.

I don’t even see a behind the neck press on the website, maybe its an older model?

Stuntman, the Urban Active by me was the expensive one I didn’t like. They won’t stop calling me either. 40 minutes? I’ll pass. 25-30 is going to bad enough. lol

red04, checked out one powerhouse but I didn’t really like it. There’s another one I haven’t checked out though. I feel like I’ve heard good things though.

I learned something pretty valuable tonight. I’m very impatient

Sumo deadlift
385x1…same as last week and the week before, but it went up much faster. Got suck halfway up on the second rep. Gonna drop down to 345 or so and do more reps. I’m making the same mistakes as before like maxing out every week when I hurt my back and couldn;t deadlift or squat for months

wide box squat
245x4…two more reps than last time but four less than my best

leg ext
170x20…PR ten more pounds than last time

I still want to get a 405 deadlift by 8/31, but after that I’m sticking with reps in the 6-8 range. It’s a lot easier for me to progress that way. Although I didn;t exactly get what I wanted today, I still learned a lot.

Eh I dunno man…mine looks the same except its orange and black. And it says “Iso Behind the Neck Press” right on it.

For reference I think I got 85s for 9 or 10 on my last DB shoulder press day.

I know mine just says iso shoulder press, so it must be an older model or they are the same machine that they changed the name of.

I tried googling hammer strength behind the neck and the only real result i got was craigslist | canada

soooo I dunno man

Just increase the weight on your rack pulls by, say, 22lb every time you do them and eventually you will reach the point where you are lifting a much heavier weight around the 5 rep mark

Great bicep day. Hit 165 for 5 However like last week form and contraction were my primary goals and that was definitly a big PR today. Did the 95 s for ten on the pin wheels which was another pr. Did 77.5 on hs machine curls for 5 another pr and 65 x ten on concentration curls.

Nice work, arms looking big in the photo too. LOL its funny seeing my BOI brothers in my Facebook updates

Im pretty sure there is only one kind of HS shoulder press, we all keep calling it by different names but I think we are all using the same machine.
