Chest and bi's were swole the **** up after this one, people are starting to make comments. It's a small town gym and there are only a couple of other guys who use and they don't look like it, so I stand out a little. Maybe they believe the M1T/CEE story I told them

Thanks!! I've never kept up with my lifts before, maybe it'll give me a little extra inspiration to hit those big numbers every now and then.

[Powerathlete]

Keep up the log. I would suggest taking bench work a little light and focus more on some rotator cuff strengthening until your shoulder problem is alleviated.

Thanks for the advice, that's exactly what i've done for the past year. RC exercises 2-3 times/wk and light overhead movements while taking my joint sups. My shoulder feels about 90% now, i'm just easing back into things with the heavier weight.

Thanks PB, volume may seem a little high but that's b/c i'm on right now and wanna take full advantage. I'll be backing down a little after Christmas.

12-20-05 Quads/Calves

Today was leg day, and i've been doing heavy squats for about 9 weeks now and I thought I would mix it up a little and go lighter. So, I tried the "20 Rep Squat" i've been reading about. WOW, it kicked my rear end big time. I was useless the rest of my workout, just went through the motions in a daze.

Yeah, next time i'll go deeper. They put up little marker boards in the gym for the top 5 on each lift. Funny thing is, they are judging squats by placing a bench under them and just squatting down and touching the bench. I'm the only one that doesn't use the bench, it's pretty amusing. They're like, "dude I don't think I can go down as far as you." I said, "I do a full squat". The top 2 are on the board at 495lbs. I'm number 3 at 435 now. Well, off to train back/traps/hams.

[adidamps2]

you'll be #1 soon there it looks...good luck train hard
