Alpha: LOL totally , the turkeys are not to hard to catch but the whole time you’re holding them they smash themselves into your chest and stomach.So the whole time that you’re carrying you have a 20-30lb bird smashing itself into you but its a good ab workout :slight_smile:

Lateral raises-5x5-40lb
5x5-35lb

My am workouts are more geared towards developing strength and speed, with that said, on my strict OHP i was shooting for 3x5-165 and got one set but it was a grind, which is ok.But I have come to learn if i spend to much time grinding out sets I " forget" how to be fast if that makes sense and then even light weights are a grind. 160 did not feel challenging enough so I tied some string onto some trailer hitch balls for micro plates and they worked out great.

I saw a documentary on Flex Wheeler the other day and saw him doing machine dips with 315lb and thought I’d give 'em a try. I rigged a quick homemade one and BAM! I liked them alot, for a comparison 100lbs on the dip machine felt more way difficult than 100lbs on the bench press, more tricep isolation. I’m going to be adding these on a regular basis for sure and they felt good on my shoulders. Due to different farm injuries to much Bench press volume makes my shoulders feel like the’re not in the socket like they should be.

Push press-3x3-190lb

Pm workout

“Farmer’s” press-6x12-350lb
Plate front raises-5x10-70lb
Lateral raises-5x5-40lb
5x5-35lb
5x10-30lb
One arm Rear delt rows-5x5-70lb

Notes-On the plate front raises i have an old fly wheel, i normally use it for leg presses but i figured what the hell the 50lb plates are to light so i used it instead :slight_smile: On the “Farmer’s” presses, to much strict OHPing gives my pain in my right shoulder, I came across an article Of CT’s that spoke of javelin presses and that got me thinking of pressing with a neutral grip. So I took an old wheel barrow put it on a wooden pallet, putting the handles at shoulder height and voila! I made a video, but I have a crappy old phone and my computer won’t recognize it as a device. I’ll get a video up some how,it torched my shoulders and no pain due to the neutral grip,I’m viewing it as a leg press for shoulders i.e can use a lot more weight than a strict press.
