Based on your shoulder problems you’ve been posting I’m hesitant to recommend anything, but for me neutral grip dumbbell presses generally caused the least discomfort for my shoulders.
For triceps, top end bench work seems to work for me and many others. I don’t know if you can bring in boards to the gym, but I find them the best. You use heavy weight and put very little stress on the shoulder. An option possibly better for the gym is reverse band presses since you can set them up in the power rack and bench there (preferably when NeelyDan wants to squat there). This deloads the bottom to some extent.
Last option along the same lines is pin presses. I personally don’t like them as I loose the feel of the weight when it hits the pins, but its an option. [/quote]
NG DB Presses don’t bother my shoulder, so likekly a good idea. I have been doing tricep work as well, but need to get into the habit of doing more.
I don’t like pin presses because I never feel like I’m set up properly before I lift. It’s like trying to figure out where you think you should be when the bar is at that height…
And fyi, NeelyDan doesn’t squat in the squat rack, he curls in the curl rack
I had the flaring elbows problem until Jim mentioned something about engaging my lats and keeping the bar a little lower on my chest. As soon as I started engaging them it helped keep my elbows tucked. So maybe a little lat work will do the trick.
Nice Deadlifting. I wish you would have filmed yourself getting pushed down to grab the bar. That would have been fun to watch.

Ahh good point…However does anyone care to inform me what “lat work” may consist of?
It was quite special getting pushed down because he was laughing the whole time and making inappropriate gestures in the mirror (which I could see). Then I almost fell on my face when I started pulling. Good times. I think after tonight (I have my gym stuff with me at work) I’m going to put my camera in my gym bag and leave it there. I need to see some of my lifts to see what I’m doing because I’ve been told what I need to work on but I need to see it to do it. That sentence was pretty rambly and odd, but I know what I meant lol.
So just for you, I will start filming and posting all the attrocities that occur at the gym. Maybe I’ll even caputre high kicking man kicking stuff or doing shoulder dislocating cable crossovers…

I can’t wait to see that film. IF you could put it to music, that would be even better
I remember reading something from Dave Tate about doing lat work on a horizontal plane to help bench. So my best guess would be bent over rows of some sort.
I wish you would have filmed yourself getting your head pushed down. That would have been fun to watch.
Far be it from me to point this out but that’s highly inappropriate ms. smart. Besides, I think someone else would have had to do the filming.
You have possibly the dirtiest mind of anyone I’ve ever met. Mine might be close behind because it went to the gutter as soon as I read what you said…
And I KNOW Ms. SBMart meant it like that…freak…
She totally meant it like that. She is after all doing her thesis on size.
Think what you will, but I just say it how it is. A video of Court getting her head pushed down and setting it music would, in fact be VERY amusing.

Amusing plus we could probably make some cash. I have some ideas for the Ottawa open.

Listen bitch, you are not making money by exploiting my innocence. I will not fund your PL trips. Maybe we can post an ad in the Ottawa classifieds looking for someone to pay for starfish sex with you. We can use one of your slutty half naked pics too.

I think you should take one for the team. Plus we can have a laugh.
You haven’t been innocent since you were 12 anyway.
Went for the third day in a row… I plan on taking tomorrow off because I’m heading to Niagara on Saturday and didn’t want to do two days off in a row. I did some shoulders/arms per Todd’s suggestions. It was Courtney is a weak girl and needs to use the girly assisted machines day. I hated it lol.
1 Arm DB Row (focus on pulling high - thumb to natural waist)
30lbsx10x3
On my second set of decline skulls Ouro spotted me and acted like a retard. I was taking a breather so I could knock out a few more and she grabbed the bar. I made her give it back to me and laughed while I did two more. I was laughing too hard and it started coming back down and she was chatting and I had to be like “uhhhh a little help”. It brought back memories of the barn when one of us would be a dumbass trying to spot the other.
Even though it was a “short” session, I still ended up being there for like 2 hours. I gabbed a lot because I needed lots of rest between sets so I could knock out the next. My arms were not happy with me lol.
