You also can push a lot more weight when you lock in to lifts. Warm the area up with plenty of feeler sets and if your struggling with shoulders with the compound movement try doing some pre exhaust or even do some time under tension so you end up dropping the weight of the pressing but the intensity is still high
    Yes, for damn sure use your legs for the lift off. Don't try swinging them up. That's how I ended up with nerve entrapment/ damage. Takes forever to heal......like 25mm/ month. Took out my whole left arm for a while.

Problem occurred when was getting the db's up, it hit my RC and found it harder to stabilize the bells due to my RC being weak/torn. I normally do machines and take out any secondary and stabilizing muscles but this time I felt good but wasn't ideal. I need surgery but wont be getting it done.
    Anyway, working set went ok but had to really slow the reps down due to my shoulder not feeling to good - got these up and did a dropset down the 65's and again went very slow



    Then I went into flyes again on the incline and finished with some vertical chest press. Not bad but my shoulder doesn't feel good. There's no need for me to go heavy anymore and push the boundaries its or about working out and feeling healthy. Trying to drop some size and lose some bf so will be hitting up the cardio more. Certain body parts I am doing well so will continue to challenge myself with my style of HIT but my foot is of the gas regarding size.

    20 mins cardio on the bike afterwards and some ab work
    Love the pics big man, just raw raw fucking iron you big fucker .
    The 55's 60's 65's k's are like that in ma gym. They do not get used much that i see hahaha.

    Lol, the big man trains at a place where you would wipe your feet on the way out, like most here in the uk. It's a proper gym, not the fancy shit yous have over there.

    Early this year I was looking hard for a good gym. Found a decent one, though still a commercial type, either way I have 70kg dumbbells and all hammer strength machines... One month after I bought membership for a year, I found out there's a pretty new strongman/powerlifting gym with anything you can imagine, even 210kg atlas stones, just a 20 minute drive from home... no commercials or marketing just hidden... lol

    Marcus I am jealous, my gyms DBs are fancy rubber coated.

    Hope your shoulder gets better mate...

    Went nasty on my chest/triceps session yesterday, so sore I can't lift my arm to pin my side delt or brush my teeth.

    Skipped skulls crushers but went with seated, overhead db extensions. Couldn't raise 10lbs above head after I was done.

    That explains everything. Mrs. AG said I was grumbling/growling in my sleep and she work me up with her broomstick, gave me a Flexeril, and went back to the other bedroom to sleep. I absolutely do not remember it, but I sure did sleep late.
    Hope you didn't reverse the charges on an international call.
