I feel ya, brother.

[icehog3]

Tried some shoulders today, actually went better than chest (pain wise), Reps up to 185, encouraging.

Bis and Tris too, went heavy on curls and pushdowns.

Skipped legs for the Police V. Fire charity hockey game tomorrow, going to need all the legs I can get.

[dijit]

Work schedule killing my workouts the last two days. Only been able to get some cardio in and not much of that.

[icehog3]

You have to prioritize, Michael, tell work you have to take some time off for your workout.

[swingerofbirches]

Good news Tom ... glad the shoulder held up!

Happens to the best of em, Michael

Got a back session in earlier this morning. Wasn't awesome but I went heavier than usual. Shrugged 500 for the first time lol

[icehog3]

That's some shruggin', Charlie.

Chest day on a Monday? Crap.

Shoulder feels really wonky today, we shall see how it goes.

You ever thought about getting a Slingshot? Seems like a lot of rly heavy benchers use em and to good effect.

[icehog3]

Haven't tried one, Charlie, maybe once this right shoulder feels stable again.

[Adriftpanda]

Imo the slingshot won't help much for my style of training. I've used the slingshot many times. Although I can add more weight on, I felt there was no "control" of the weight. Just like the name of the band, once you hit your chest, it slings up, making your press slightly easier for you. That's where my problems is with this.

Save your money. Unless you're into powerlifting of training to bench 495.

[icehog3]

No 495 bench in my future, Huy.

Another super high rep, low weight, short rest chest workout, concentrating mostly on inclines today. Did go a little heavier on everything, with no ill effects.

Tomorrow is back day, so finally I can do something heavy.

[Adriftpanda]

First time training legs in almost 2 weeks; didn't feel that long. Have to say, felt okay, even going on 40g of carbs.

Warmed up with single leg extensions 5x12-15

Walking lunges be 1x20
DB walking lunges 3x20
Walking lunges bw 1x30

Squats 5x5 @315 - felt heavy as frack!
Pause squats 3x5 @225

Lying leg curls 5x12
