Its hard to stick to the plan when you want the weights to keep going up. I always look like a dish rag I’m so sweaty when I’m lifting.

nice work SD
Nice work Steely. When I do DB rows, I lean on the stack too. When I do it the traditional way it does absolutely nothing for me.
Nice work SteelyD. Is the H.I. for High incline?
Those laterals look like a killer!
Nice work steely D
Nice pulling- I cant pull sumo- I am likely to pull more conventional
that Shrug machine - does look exactly like a universal

Yep, High Incline. I was rotating ‘straight back’ and high incline (1st notch back from sitting straight up) on the bench, but have been doing only HI’s and shoulders are feeling better.
It’s a little more comfortable on the shoulders and, more importantly, I can push more weight. 
I’ll still keep vertical presses in, just lighter weight higher rep stuff.
Hey! Where’d ya go?
Yeah, I was wondering that too. “Come back, Shane, come back.”
Hey dudes-- thanks for the bumpsters.
I’ve just been lazy posting my workouts and vids. I’ve got a lot on my plate recently (more on that later) and been cutting time here and there.
I’m still reading everyone’s logs daily, so I’m here in spirit-- you’re all damned strong dudes and I have a lot to learn from everyone.
I’ll start logging again soon and definitely when I hit notable PR’s – for example:
I got 60x8+35x10 on my db lat raises yesterday. That’s big for me as I’m trying to bring these shoulders up. I figure if I can grow massive shoulders, I don’t need to shrink by belly so much
I’m getting ready to quit my gym (ie The “Y”), which is expensive and I’ve outgrown the db’s and back machines. I go to “Gilly’s” PL gym a couple times a week for $5 a pop which is totally worth it. Another small gym opened up not too far from the “Y” and at less than half the cost, plus they have a rack, T-Bar, and heavy db’s (which you can only use if ‘management’ is there because of liability-- better than nothing I guess)… Both gyms are much more inspiring than this goofy Y.

Glad to hear that you’re doing okay and still at it. Also about the gym upgrade.
I thought the same thing about shoulders and belly. In my case, either neither is growing or my gut is keeping pace…

135x8

Nice squats. I hate walking lunges. I fall all over the place. Probably why I should do them. Great workout SD.
415 x 3 is awsome. Time for a Whopper. Just not 3.
Outstanding. Legs are getting very strong.
Some biggish squatting going on over here. Good work SteelyD.
good squats SteelyD

Great job SD.
3+ inches on arms
3 reps on 415
3 minimum whoppers I vote!
