brutus79 and jballz get swole

[anonynmous39596706]

Does anyone have any of these fit bracelets that track heart rate and calorie burn? Is that crap just for running and stuff? Or does it track bp?

I have the vivofit with the chest strap for heart rate. It has the display on it unlike some of the others. You can see your HR in real time but I can not figure out how to view a graph in the ap to see when it went up or down afterwards in the log. It only displays average and maximum for the session. I might not have it set up right. I don't like that I cant see how long it took to hit max HR and then how long it took to drop back down.

Finally a training day today. I have been doing a 4 day split for a few months now. Back/bi, chest/tri, legs, whole body. Been working great... I think my new focus this cycle is going to be shoulders. I don't train shoulders directly. I do military bb presses on back day, some pull ups, dips twice a week bit no dedicated shoulder day. My delts look fine but they hurt a lot of time.

I think I will be buying some dumbbells and working high volume shoulder circus once a week. Real light weights, sets of 100 or something. Going heavy always results in injury. What do you guys think? Front raises, side raises, bent flys and military presses with 15 lbs 4 sets of 100 each?

this is just an on cycle experiment if I do it.

I for sure agree on going light if heavy bothers them shoulders are an easy muscle to blow up and I think they also respond well to any type of training. The best my rear delts got was doing sets of 50s with 8 pound weights haha I'm sure side delts are the same!

Awesome! My delts are big, but I want caveman delts.

Fucking what the hell!!! I never got my invitation to the party. In the training forum instead of the cycle log forum. We'll I'm late but I'm SUBB'D!!!

I like your idea Brutal with the shit ton of reps with light weight on shoulders. I've been contemplating doing this. The heavier weight is taking its toll on my shoulders. I'm starting something like what you've mentioned on my next shoulder day. I'm willing to bet that the complex machinery of the shoulder will benefit more from a low weight high rep program.

I really put it in the training forum? Real nice. That's what I get for thread creating in bed... @Millard Baker can you help my dumb ass out and move it?

Well Ty, no one can say that you're not consistent.

That's funny.

I won't rest until I have all the nudes... All.

Constant heavy benching I guarantee is the source of your sore shoulders. That's one huge downside to chasing PR's often. Protect them shoulders man

 

[gr8whitetrukker]

I'm dealing with that too and I've only been going *heavy* for about 5 weeks. Goes to show the shoulder joints Aren't indestructible. I've never had a benching injury to date and I'm not about to start now. A big reason for that is I don't PR on bench almost ever and I don't spend too long pushing reps of 5 and under.

Find a medical schematic of the shoulder. It's a very complex machine. Between the muscles and connective tissue and the way the arms and shoulder blades etc... tie in. So many cogs and gears. No wonder they break down.

I have been doing a couple of sets of front latetals with a plate every workout. Four times during the workout when I have a 45 in my hand I will stop and knock out 10 reps. The are about 10 min apart and don't interfer with whatever body part I am working. No pain and saw results in a few weeks.

 

[Whoremoans]

Front DB rasies, lateral DB raises, OHP, seated DB press, and upright rows.

Knees are just as complex too, plus they take much of the body weight.

Finally tuning in this whole body day... great session

Squat safety bar (if you never tried it you never squatted before imo. Huge difference)
135 x 10
225 x 5
315 - 5 sets 3
I'm not sure how much this bar reduces your max but it crushes mine.
Weighted dips (1 plate me, 2 plate jb)
4 sets 10
Seated reverse cable fly
7 sets 12
Close grip bench
135 x 10
225 - 3 sets 10
Close grip pull up
3 sets 10
Standing calf raise
3 sets 10
Drinking a shake and wishing I had gone to the food store. Not enough time in the day.

You never mention calves. How are yours coming?

That SSB is no joke but neither is the overall strength gains from using it.

Last time I measured they were close to 22". I had large calves and thighs from years of skateboarding, bmx, mountain biking, skiing, etc. I hit them once or twice a week but don't pay much attention because I don't have to. They have a couple nice big veins lately I am happy about.
