    @ Sfla - you've got the thickness & width for sure! Agree w/Cuz Traps traps traps and rear delts(will make the back pop much more!

    @ Cuz - definitely one of the best backs I've seen on here - great detail as are your delts and arms!

    Not.quite as fast as I was hoping for, but I did get it done. Went too long without eating yesterday at work and then running errands, finally checked my glucose before I ate real food yesterday afternoon and it was 58, so I've got to do better with that. I'm not diabetic (my Mom was), but when I push hard lifting and go at it full bore at work w/o stopping for proper food (whey shakes and almonds just don't cut it), it really drains me. Anyway...


    1 set of crunches
    Dry bar squats - 1x20
    Plate/side - 1x20
    2 plates/side- 1x20
    2 plates and a quarter/side- 1 x20, 1x15
    2 plates/side- 1x 20
    Plate/side- 1x20

    Seated calf raises- 20,drop,12 - 6 w/ a very slow double pump at the bottom on the last 6 reps.


    60 minutes for everything.

    Thanks, Nach. I think my back may be almost ready for smaller sets of 3 plates/side and at some point, I'll throw on my belt.

    I hope so. Kel promised me when I get in the neighborhood of 4 plates for 20, he would get me the hookup for the men's size 13+ pumps.

    You have width, still to show off the mid back muscles you will need to lower your bodyfat or they they simply are covered.

    Your front delt is huge, and thats great but you need to bring the lateral head up to par. Posterior delt head will only really show with lower bodyfat.

    About traps do it after back, 5-6 sets of shrugs. To bring out mid trap do DB shrugs with the db in front of your thighs and a slight bent at the waist.

    About your back problems, how is your back core muscles? namely glutes and hamstrings?
    Are you activating your glutes? From the photo your glutes look underdeveloped, and for the upper body mass you have you need to have strong glutes and hamstrings. Have you seen a physical therapist specialized in back problems? Im no expert but many times back problems are due to muscles unbalances, and glutes are one of the most important stabilization muscles (together with hamstrings)

    Tbar hammer machine CG 1f 2w holding and squeezing.

    Single arm tbar rows 2w

    High pully hammer underhand 2w

    So Marcus tried your db/kettle ball movement for lower back. Basically did a dead lift movement but never locking out. But the upper motion shot way to much pain through back and leg.

    So then I tried "good morning" but holding a 25 against chest and that didn't work either. The electric shock that goes through my leg is just too much to handle. It sucks.

    And still fighting insurance to approve epidural

    Sorry to hear it didn't help, maybe a full recovery is in order and just stay clear until you have fully repaired the area, best of luck mate

    Ok mate, you have a very good taper and width isn't a problem, thickness is good I can see some rods of steel and it look like a very strong back indeed. Lower back looks weak point if I am honest maybe when your repaired work on this area and that back is going to be like a barn door.

    Chest this morning - felt really good

    Going to write my way through this workout for you because usually chest is very short session for me so I will try and explain my mind set I am feeling good so I know I can focus today.

    I decided to start with incline db press - but first I did some very light cables and rc internal and external rotations to get some blood flowing.

    Incline db press
    Started with light weight felt good, just seeing how far I could bring them down before my rc started to hurt and also I twisted my palms not fully facing each other but just slightly off which felt better for me pressing, got into my groove and start5ed to feel the depth I could go to and also I decided to slight come up with an inward arch without locking the elbows, this even with lighter weight started to blow my chest up.


    2nd warm up set - increased the weight and started to press felt ok but not 100%, something was off and I think it was due to throwing the bells up what might of cause irritation to my RC so I carried on and did my set, but this time I slowed everything down, and strained and tensed the weight up even though it was light it started to feel like a working set, my aggression triggered and I pushed and got a really good negative in at the last rep and rested.

    I knew I wasn't going to be going heavy, the power was there and I wanted the big bells, I could of got someone to pass them to me but I knew the pain I was feeling wasn't good and all I am going to do is cause more damage so I decided to go heavier but not my total heavy set what I would normally do BUT I was angry and frustrated at my body not performing at its best so I thought right I will attack this set with slow reps without any lockout and resting the pecs and I will drive inwards to take any triceps involvement out of it best I can and just target the upper chest. I would tense hard at the top and slowing lower the bells till I am in muscular pain and want to stop - hopefully my shoulder can take it and with the reduce weight I was going to use I more or less knew it would.

    Felt warmed up properly and I got the bells I was going to use -no dropset no rest pause just pure intense positive failure. Sat down on the incline bench with the bells at my ankles, looked in the mirror and started o visualize the set I am about to do. I started to talk to my inner self triggering certain things what made me angry, I bent over picked up the bells and placed them on my knees and I said to myself this is it lets do this properly, its a lighter weigh so make every rep count don't waste one fucking rep. I squeezed my grip so hard my ends of my fingers when white and I felt the spike inside of my to fight. Boom laid back and got the bells up to the starting position. Down I went slowly the first rep hurt me right in the pec and that triggered me even more bang - right back up inwards and tensed the fuck out of me and at this point I wanted to stop the pain was bad even after one rep. Bang straight back down power up down again boom back up, the bells were slowing down due to my strength deteriorating and the acid burn what was in my chest. Carried on till the 7th rep and this was starting to hurt really bad, I knew I could flow the bells faster but then all I am doing is making reps and not working my chest so I slowed it all down even further and grunted out loud. Ears started to buzz and I knew I was at my limit, shoulder felt good because wasn't going right down and I was fully on my pecs. Had to start using a bit of speed to get the bells up to make further reps- this ignited anger and again I made a lovely negative from that rep and then I push with all my strength and the bells started to slow right down so a stop, I wouldn't let them go but I was fully in a static point and I could feel my face bursting with blood and the weights started to slowing go back down, so I held as much as I could and once the got to aa level were my rc started to feel pain I just let go of the bells - a big bang sounded around the gym I got up and said YOUR FUKERS and placed them back on the rack and moved onto incline flyes.

    I got my water and gulped it down and stretch my chest, looked in the mirror and pulled my hoody down to see my upper chest and it was red and bursting, I smiled and sat down and started to look across the db rack and to pick a good weight for my chest, I wanted more pressing but I was done and thought lets do some flyes. Picked up some 50's and stretched my pecs with incline flyes, easy weight nothing hard and felt no pain what so ever except a serious stretch across my upper chest - I didn't have my palms facing each other I had the facing out towards the mirror because it felt a better stretch. Did tw feeler sets with the same weight and slowed it all down again and tense my chest together at the top with my arms still bent like hugging a tree, never strengthen your arms, that's for skinny cunts. I placed them back on the rack and picked up some heavy bells and started straight away because the pump was so intense I wanted to keep it. Boom slow on each side of the rep, squezz8ing the hell out of my chest at the top and a good stretch, chin was up and bells were flowing started to slow down but for some reason I could power myself through the pain and complete a good solid working set to failure, at failure I couldn't lift the bells to the top so I dropped them again. Some guys looked over and said something to each other but wouldn't look me in the eyes and just watched me train.

    Walked straight over to the vertical chest press hammer style, doing singles and pumped two working sets out - wont go in-depth with this because I will be here all day and you'll get bored reading but I triggered that inner animal and pushed like fuck till failure and once failure was reached I did 2 rest pause but the reps were low but burnt like hell.

    Last movement was cables - same again, got into the zone and fucked my chest up but in-between each set I did an incline press up off a machine and swapped into cables and press ups one after the other until I was down to 2 reps.

    Walked over the cross trainer and did 15 mins

    Forgot to take pics but kind of gives another angle on posting a workout

    wasn't my best at all and I didn't even go into drops or anything serious past failure but was productive and worked my chest even though my delt was acting up

    Ok. Took my ego out of the way today. Started with
    DB Lateral Raises. Held at horizontal 3-5 seconds. Lowered at 4-7 seconds
    3 working sets. If I couldn't get horizontal I would hold at the highest point I could get.

    DB Front Raises. Same as above. At this point the burn was crazy. 2 working sets

    DB rear delt Raises. Same as above. 2 working sets.

    DB Military presses. 65 felt like hundreds. Worked to partials to true failure.
    2 working sets.

    DB Lateral Raises burn outs. 1 set

    My shoulders are torn and burning almost to the point of tears. I feel I got everything thing I could today.

    I decided to start with incline db press - but first I did some very light cables and rc internal and external rotations to get some blood flowing.

    Incline db press
    Started with light weight felt good, just seeing how far I could bring them down before my rc started to hurt and also I twisted my palms not fully facing each other but just slightly off which felt better for me pressing, got into my groove and start5ed to feel the depth I could go to and also I decided to slight come up with an inward arch without locking the elbows, this even with lighter weight started to blow my chest up.


    2nd warm up set - increased the weight and started to press felt ok but not 100%, something was off and I think it was due to throwing the bells up what might of cause irritation to my RC so I carried on and did my set, but this time I slowed everything down, and strained and tensed the weight up even though it was light it started to feel like a working set, my aggression triggered and I pushed and got a really good negative in at the last rep and rested.

    I knew I wasn't going to be going heavy, the power was there and I wanted the big bells, I could of got someone to pass them to me but I knew the pain I was feeling wasn't good and all I am going to do is cause more damage so I decided to go heavier but not my total heavy set what I would normally do BUT I was angry and frustrated at my body not performing at its best so I thought right I will attack this set with slow reps without any lockout and resting the pecs and I will drive inwards to take any triceps involvement out of it best I can and just target the upper chest. I would tense hard at the top and slowing lower the bells till I am in muscular pain and want to stop - hopefully my shoulder can take it and with the reduce weight I was going to use I more or less knew it would.

    Felt warmed up properly and I got the bells I was going to use -no dropset no rest pause just pure intense positive failure. Sat down on the incline bench with the bells at my ankles, looked in the mirror and started o visualize the set I am about to do. I started to talk to my inner self triggering certain things what made me angry, I bent over picked up the bells and placed them on my knees and I said to myself this is it lets do this properly, its a lighter weigh so make every rep count don't waste one fucking rep. I squeezed my grip so hard my ends of my fingers when white and I felt the spike inside of my to fight. Boom laid back and got the bells up to the starting position. Down I went slowly the first rep hurt me right in the pec and that triggered me even more bang - right back up inwards and tensed the fuck out of me and at this point I wanted to stop the pain was bad even after one rep. Bang straight back down power up down again boom back up, the bells were slowing down due to my strength deteriorating and the acid burn what was in my chest. Carried on till the 7th rep and this was starting to hurt really bad, I knew I could flow the bells faster but then all I am doing is making reps and not working my chest so I slowed it all down even further and grunted out loud. Ears started to buzz and I knew I was at my limit, shoulder felt good because wasn't going right down and I was fully on my pecs. Had to start using a bit of speed to get the bells up to make further reps- this ignited anger and again I made a lovely negative from that rep and then I push with all my strength and the bells started to slow right down so a stop, I wouldn't let them go but I was fully in a static point and I could feel my face bursting with blood and the weights started to slowing go back down, so I held as much as I could and once the got to aa level were my rc started to feel pain I just let go of the bells - a big bang sounded around the gym I got up and said YOUR FUKERS and placed them back on the rack and moved onto incline flyes.

    I got my water and gulped it down and stretch my chest, looked in the mirror and pulled my hoody down to see my upper chest and it was red and bursting, I smiled and sat down and started to look across the db rack and to pick a good weight for my chest, I wanted more pressing but I was done and thought lets do some flyes. Picked up some 50's and stretched my pecs with incline flyes, easy weight nothing hard and felt no pain what so ever except a serious stretch across my upper chest - I didn't have my palms facing each other I had the facing out towards the mirror because it felt a better stretch. Did tw feeler sets with the same weight and slowed it all down again and tense my chest together at the top with my arms still bent like hugging a tree, never strengthen your arms, that's for skinny cunts. I placed them back on the rack and picked up some heavy bells and started straight away because the pump was so intense I wanted to keep it. Boom slow on each side of the rep, squezz8ing the hell out of my chest at the top and a good stretch, chin was up and bells were flowing started to slow down but for some reason I could power myself through the pain and complete a good solid working set to failure, at failure I couldn't lift the bells to the top so I dropped them again. Some guys looked over and said something to each other but wouldn't look me in the eyes and just watched me train.

    Walked straight over to the vertical chest press hammer style, doing singles and pumped two working sets out - wont go in-depth with this because I will be here all day and you'll get bored reading but I triggered that inner animal and pushed like fuck till failure and once failure was reached I did 2 rest pause but the reps were low but burnt like hell.

    Last movement was cables - same again, got into the zone and fucked my chest up but in-between each set I did an incline press up off a machine and swapped into cables and press ups one after the other until I was down to 2 reps.

    Walked over the cross trainer and did 15 mins

    Forgot to take pics but kind of gives another angle on posting a workout

    wasn't my best at all and I didn't even go into drops or anything serious past failure but was productive and worked my chest even though my delt was acting up

    Nice Marcus. I wish I'd read this before I went in. Honestly I don't think I could have gotten anymore. But hearing your words in my head I may have squeezed out more.

    Hey that's an idea, could you give a little morning motivation each day? Something we can think about and hear in our head to push a bit more. Get that one more rep. Tell us what proper cunts we are, go bust your arse warriors.

    DB Front Raises. Same as above. At this point the burn was crazy. 2 working sets

    DB rear delt Raises. Same as above. 2 working sets.

    DB Military presses. 65 felt like hundreds. Worked to partials to true failure.
    2 working sets.

    DB Lateral Raises burn outs. 1 set

    My shoulders are torn and burning almost to the point of tears. I feel I got everything thing I could today.

    Your a warrior Cape just like all of the members who train HIT in here. I'm going through a tough time with accepting what I can do these days even though my mind wants to my body isn't willing anymore and its a strange time for me. Certain parts I am fine and train to my max but after all these yrs battering my body its hard because its just doesn't work like it use to. I know I should of practised more time off like I tell people today. I even train one body part every 10 days and things are still tuff but when things fit in place I'm there like normal but things are changing for me and its hard to accept.

    Life is full of changes. Some good some bad. A lot of time they are out of our control. All we can do is try to have more good days a week than bad. We just need to focus on the good since the bad aren't controllable. Don't dwell on the past. You wouldn't change a thing probably if you could. You wouldn't be who you are if you did and I like who you are.

    I'm cool about it its just a transition period of accepting. I train hard but not has hard as I would like on certain body parts but hey that's still harder than 99.9% I see training. I also have other adventures I channel my drive on so all is good just wish I could swap my RC for some 20year old

    ^^^ We're having a stupid health fair at work Thurs. and I may work off my Hgb value, to see where I am. Wouldn't even participate but they frontload the company's HSA contribution and give us an additional $250 if we jump through the hoops, so I would like to take advantage of that.
    I was ~48% 2 weeks ago, so I should still be in decent shape. Am eligible to donate, so probably will do that soon anyway.
    Changing my diet from mainly beef to a greater amount of chicken and backing off on daily consumption of high iron veggies seems to have helped a good bit. Haven't had to do supplemental draws nearly as often.
