405 x 2 kapow! Nice job. I better get after this before I have absolutely no chance.
how about neutral grip decline db’s. Loading might suck for the shoulder though. do you tuck your elbows or flare them when benching?
what’s this cardio stuff all about? getting purty? lol [/quote]
Thanks BRO!
I might try the neutral grip db’s as since I cant do dips anymore I need something to tacklet that part of my pecs…I am a notorious flarer with benching which probably has led to these shoulder issues in part.
Yeah man trying to get TONED LOL, nah Im just trying to get my endurance up and cut some BF
WTF are you gonna put a log up so I can bust your balls or what!?
Could not get the turkey as far as workouts go, today sucked balls, my shoulder is really preventing me from doing any chest exercises w/o discomfort and pain. though some blame has to go to some old friends I met yesterday. My boy Jack and his lady friend Ginger hung out all night with me yesterday, there a wild bunch.

MXL - received the check a couple of days ago and tore it up, fyi.
Shoulders feeling better? Appears you were pushing the shoulders a bit.
You tried DLing with the bands yet? Good job on hitting that 405 regularly. Go 415, instead of 425 and i bet you get it.
I’ll start a log up next week. [/quote]
Maybe a little bit, I have been doing alot of shoulder dislocates and band pull aparts which seems to help. Oddly enough OH pressing does not cause discomfort chest movements cause alot. I dont go heavy on benching only as high as 2 plates but I try to rep the shit out of em. Also I get like a dead shoulder towards the end of a long pressing sessions it kinda gets numb…weird. Im getting my MRI within the next two weeks.
My wife who knows nothing about training, said to me why did you go to 425? you should of just went to 415. Goes to show you how much I know.
I have been using the bands regularly for squats, which are fucking awesome, Im starting to like squating more than DL, ing…I was on the EFS site today considering buying short bands for DLing…u think its necessary?
Be sure to give me the name of your log I dont want to miss it!

Played basketball for about 90 minutes instead of running, fucked up my shoulder running after kids 15 years older than me. I love basketball, but I have to know when my time is up (meaning 1 hour max)
Had too much shit going on Tuesday to train, had to get blood tests in the am, another doc appt in the pm with work in between, didnt have free time until 8pm and I was shot. Feeling another cold coming on and feeling really run down. With that being said training today was perty ok considering.
Training this week will be a bit inconsistent as I am sick and have a shitton of things to do none of which I am looking forward to except my first fantasy football draft on Friday, Ive been running this league for 11 years now, $350 league fee my boys and I go ape shit for that stuff, w/o any further aduuue (spelling?)

Was not dissapointed in my Dls tonite as I am not 100% My form IMO is really starting to look good, the 4plates is coming up easier and easier. Keeping my body tight during DLs is really helping me.
BB MILLITARY PRESS (STANDING) 90/20 135/15 135/14 135/12 - Felt like shit on these, shoulder felt ok, but I usually with all being right can get up to 175 standing.
NAUTILUS SHOULDER PRESS (PLATE LOADED) 3PLTx3x12-15 - Again dissapointment, can get 5 plates on these for 3 - 4 reps when shoulder is good. My shoulder tires out very quickly and simply is not allowing me to go all out.
BENCH PRESS - 225x3x12-15 By this time my shoulder was shot and didnt expect anything but pussy reps.
NAUTILUS VERT PRESS - 3PLTx2x15 FUCK! again usually get 5 plates, on the push off my right shoulder gives me a sharp pain.

Only trained twice this week due to being sick. Felt OK today all things considered. Had to go to a wedding the night before, hate weddings so I hung out with jack all night, straight up Jack and I got fucked up, luckily ginger came to the wedding at about 11 and calmed us down. Some green looking german guy tried to get in the fun…but we dont deal with bullshit.
MRI on sunday, WTF for an open MRI, that shyte was closed! will get the results by Wed of this week. My buddy tore his labrum a year and a half ago and he said he finally is 100% NOW! Im worried.
Got the results from my MRI back which showed a torn labrum and some weird blockage betwenn my collarbone and shoulder where not enough blood is getting through. This was coming from my regular doc and could probably get more specifics with an ortho. She states that surgery may not be necessary, I hope not. I guess I will be perusing the injury and rehab forum…F M L !!!
put the 405dl in your rear view i see. Nice. Now, quit fucking around and crush 425. lol. Shoulder schmoulder, meh. Wait til your super old like me. I can’t even bend down to pick up the bar.
Promise to start a log so you can tee off, soooooooooooon. <3
