I have found really high volume raises (rear delt raises, front raises, and lateral raises) along with partials etc (as talked about by John Meadows) to lead to solid shoulder growth.[/quote]

Damn, Dixie, I thought the 100 lateral raises were bullshit. I looked up Meadow’s shoulder philosophy Shoulder Training: The Mountain Dog Way

The super high rep is actually what he says to do! So, I start doing the 100 lateral raises, I may add some bent lateral raises for rear delt work too. Just to make those muscles realize they exist, I don’t think I’ve ever given them a reason to live.

Followed DF in here. I’ll be checking in regularly.[/quote]

I totally understand following Dixie around, welcome. You’ll find that my log is mostly shenanigans with training sprinkled in.

Picture a boob, tint it brown, shrink it down to a reflection in a mirror. There you’ve missed nothing :slight_smile:

I’m not actually a misanthrope, I just get cranky.

Ok, lets try this again, sans awesome boobie. Does it look like I need more shoulder? I’ve been thinking that’s where this program lacks. [/quote]

Your deltoids look great and you can see the traps have separation.

I have done worse slips with pics here.

Oops, lol[/quote]

Thanks Busy!

Nothing to be mortified over. Wasn’t all that big a deal. Bottom line, you look good, w/or w/out showing tits.[/quote]

Thanks, in the moment it was embarrassing, I care less now. Everyone’s seen boobies before, if they haven’t it was my good deed for the day. Bringing a little joy to the world :)[/quote]

& joy is exactly what you brought.

Your shitty training, still looks like pretty good training.[/quote]

The training was only shitty in the sense that it wasn’t what I had planned, and I was in a raging bitch mood. It’s been a bit of a discussion in Nadia’s log, but I don’t like to lift angry/cranky. It just doesn’t feel right.

Regardless, thanks!

They’re super fun! Have you seen the vid of guys doing them with 45s? Maybe, one day…

I thought you were following me around? What kind of follower doesn’t make it home?

So, I has found one more pinup girl in your flavor. Um, I will take her boobs bigger please but I am DIGGIN HER “SKIRT”… Gawd so sexy where can we get one (or um, I guess two. One for me and one for you)

EDIT to put the word skirt in “quote”[/quote]

Oh, Hal, I’ve actually been thinking about it a lot lately. While I say a lot of words (aside)

I’ve been reading a lot on the methodology and history of science, and this quote totally just tickled me “Lakatos offers words that sound like the elements of a methodology; he does not offer a methodology.” via Feyerabend ← Academic insults, gotta love them.

(\aside) that sound like my goals are performance based, I’m starting to realize that I don’t really train like I’m performance based. While of course I want to be a BAMF and will always have that as an umbrella goal (who doesn’t?), I think I’ve just been afraid of embracing that my efforts are straight up physique right now.

I have a look I want, and I think for a while I’m just going to embrace that it’s what I’m going for. I haven’t worked through what that means for me yet. It probably won’t change anything other than the paradigm I’m functioning through, but I think the paradigm does need to change.

You can have some of my boob, if you take bits from other places as well. I think the ‘skirt’ is a belly dancing skirt and wouldn’t actually be that hard to find. I’ll find one if you’ll come over and try it on for me :slight_smile:

HAHAH! I fucking love your log!!

I missed epic boobs!! Love that the mods took it down. HAH! I took my recent pic down because nips were showing. UGH! We are those girls!

Anyways, you’re hilarious. I really have nothing more to add. Thanks for the smile, girlie. You rock![/quote]

Yup, embrace the awkward.

Did I just trip up the stairs? Why yes, I did, thanks for noticing.

I keep aiming for graceful and ending up getting my heels stuck in the grate.

Hey patch i’ve observed your hard work from afar. Definitely some good work going on in here. [/quote]

Thanks Herc, I lurk in your log too, but I have the uncanny ability to totally derail all conversations (as you saw yesterday) so I usually keep my mouth shut.

And finally we get to the training post…

AM -
Spin!
Then I did the running yoga flow. Spin + Running is really tightening up my hips. I’m going to have to pay attention to that!

PM - Awesome work out, I only had 45min to be in the gym and I think the hustle was just what I needed. I need to start training like time is an issue.

10 min jump rope - Getting better, less breaks, though I’m still at two hops for every rope pass, and did hit myself a bunch. I had some nice red rope marks on my arms, next time I’ll take pictures.

DB Walking Lunges - 20lb x 12 steps x5
Since I killed my grip the day before, I instead just thought about driving through heel and working my legs. Thinking about a part, really does seem to make it work harder.

Push Ups off bench - 5 x 6
Super happy with these, since I did them the day before I wasn’t sure, but I knocked them out. The last two sets were kinda like 5 then 1, but not enough of a delay to make it an issue.

RDLs - 135x5x6
Woo! 135! I had to go with the mixed grip, but it felt way better this time. I took all your advices and tried to implement them. Hal’s presenting tip lead to a row of teenage boys doing curls behind me for the last 2 sets, so I guess I was doing it right?

Lat Raises - 2lbs x 100
Not 100 in a row non stop, but apparently they’re super high rep for a reason. Thanks for that Dixie.

I didn’t do the wall sits, I have to see what’s up with them, I tried one and my knee felt like exploding.

Overall, got done in 45min. Left feeling like a boss!

^Come back in 15mins. I’ll be finished lunch by than.

WHOOP! To 135 Patchie.

100 reps, I don’t care how light the wt! Damn fine work. I will be interested in hearing how bad your DOMS is tomorrow, if at all.

Your DOMS prediction was spot on.

As a result all I did was hula hoop and stretch today.

Yup, part of BAMF is being shmexy.
