    I've been feeling a lot of inflamation in my cuffs as well, particularly during shoulder and chest movements. I've been slacking on cuff excersises mainly due to the fact that it makes them hurt, so I've decided to incorporate them on leg day, beginning yesterday and will continue to do so each week.

    It seems like I'm fighting a losing battle here with the younger guys. Everyday y'all all look bigger and better. It does however give me motivation. Thanks to all the regulars who post here and Marcus and Kel for leadership and guidance.

    Don't too hard on yourself cape. I know we all want to be bigger and better than the next guy but I have to remember to just be better than I was the day before. I can't control how someone else trains or how they supplement. I can only improve myself. Trust me you inspire cape. Every now and than I check your transformation pics and get some motivation!

    Ive not felt to bad since ive been doing pre exhaust, my shoulder size has come down a bit due to holding back for the first weeks of the injury but now I feel good, I will just have to be careful and take inconsideration I may not be able to go all out on them at this stage.

There are also many more people in this thread who believe and inspire me, Kel is one of them I must say xx
    Much appreciated big man. And it goes both ways. You and the regulars on this site are basically my virtual training partners as I've trained alone for about 10 years now, or more. It gets tough at times. I've had an occasional training partner for a week or two here or there but they don't last and seem to require all the fancy equipment that I don't have (or need.)

    It's really great to be able to help other guys and to pass on experience gained over a life time of bodybuilding. I could not imagine having access to a site like this when I was starting out. It would have been an incredible asset back in "the day."

    Marcus, I'm simply honored to be a part of this group and to call you my friend. That goes for the rest of the guys and girls as well.

    Chest today, need some help....see flat bench movement

    Felt strong today

    "pre exhaust" Decline BB
    255#x 8 (Personal best here, that's why I got 8....have done this weight but only 4 reps before) dropped x 3

    Smith incline BB
    215#x6 dropped x 3

    Flat DB
    100# x 5 (on 6 rep came down tried to push out one more. Failed attempt, but once I was down, got a bad pain in mid back, ranging from about spine to lower part of my lat. Hurts to breath at the time. and certain normal movements were hurting. Guessing I strained something?)

    Incline DB flys
    So tried this light weight to see if pain would affect it. started 25's and no pain from the movement at all but pain is there still. So I did do 40's for a few slow concentrated reps.

    Pain is pretty strong still, hard to explain when the pain happens. Wife put icy hot on for now. And hope its gone later.

    Possibly just a minor subluxation or pinched nerve. Rest up, ice and NSAID's. Take it easy for a little bit, it happens.

    Back this morning

    close grip pulldowns
    4 warm up sets - wanted to really warm my back up, feeling strong so did a lot of stretching in-between sets and hot higher rep range for the warm ups,
    1 working set - wanted to keep total rep range to around 8 reps so I was going to be hitting heavier weight because I was doing RP on my back - to failure then x 2 RP


    BB bent over rows
    2 feel sets
    1 working set -hit failure + 2 rest pause

    db one arm rows
    2 working sets - failure + 1 RP

    hammer strength underhand close grip pulldowns
    2 feel sets
    1 working to failure + 2 RP

    dead lifts
    2 working set - done to just below the knee - hit 12 reps each

    hyper extensions
    2 working sets with added weight- hit 8-10 reps


    Felt strong, mind set was on fire, very quick and heavy. Kept things tight within my core and really watch my form. Shifted some serious weight and felt my back pumped.

    I was going to hit shoulders but thought i'd rest the cuff alittle while longer, may do delts tomorrow. Going to see if I can get some size back on them so a change may well be on the way with shoulder, might throw in another compound movement after pre exhausted with laterals.

    I appreciate the words. I was late to the party. Now I'm having to train smarter and you guys are killing it. Y'all keep growing and so will I.

    That's the ticket for explosive back growth. Serious weight with good form. Take note of that guys. Back work is tough and it takes a ton of effort to get good, quality growth. It makes it harder as you can't see it. Work toward increasing your weight but maintain your form. There's a lot of muscle back there and it takes time to fill it in. Do it right!

    I'm not that hairy. But I am that agile!


    Pounding down some coffee, putting neoprene on knees and getting ready for legs. Knee is feeling better so hopefully I don't aggravate it much. A bit chilly in the basement today!

    We all want a balanced physique but we do get focused on just getting big and thick. If you look at your physique what body parts would you think need extra work to make things more balanced. Adding size to your weak body parts does make you look bigger so everyone even the lurkers tell us what parts are the weaker ones in your eyes and which would you like to build bigger and more inline with the rest of your physique

    For me...all around size....but for lagging parts I would like my arms and back. My back has come a long way and changed dramaticly. Arms I need more seperation.

    Legs hands down. I was one of those guys that mostly trained upper body in my younger years. Although I train legs every week for last 4 years they are still lagging. They are improving though.

    That was the only thing I didn't like about training in the basement at home. In the summer it's fine because the basement is cooler but in the winter it can be brutal haha

    I think more size to my chest would round out the front nicely. I have some width to my back but the thickness needs to pack on. I'm working on both of those currently and so far am happy. It's a time game now...... Just gotta be patient while hitting it hard and the results will come

    Was just thinking the same thing recently. Need a full body massage. .a painful one. I was going to buy one of those massage things you hang over your chair but they can't hurt me like I want.

    Well Marcus let me think about this one Mmmmmmmmm I would say my calves need more size its a really tough muscle group for me to explode. Probably very tight fascia but thee isn't a chance of me using synthol in my calves. Over the years ive had areas what ive worked like my back which really exploded, other than that I would say more size over everything would be great

    Hey everyone! I've been lurking around this forum for around 18 months and this thread for about 9 months. Joining a forum or posting is something I would never do but this thead is so inspirational! I'm 43 and have trained off and on since16. This thread has helped Me become the most dedicated and passionate about bodybuilding than i have been since my 20's. My wife started training with me shortly after I discovered this thread and earned her pro card in natural body building a few months later. I give alot of credit to Marcus and the people in this thread for giving us the "Take no prisoners" mentality we have in the gym. We have both made great gains in size using the HIT style of training and I have no doubt she will do great in her first pro show next year. As for me, I have maintained all of my size and most of my strength after comming off cycle and dropping to Trt dose two months ago. Thanks for the inpiration guys! Keep it up! You'll be hearing more from me.

    Legs went pretty decent. Meaning the knee was not horrible. I stayed a plate or so lighter on compounds and went real slow and kept the reps up today:

    Extensions: Two straight sets

    Leg Press: Two sets with RP on last.

    Squats: One set, no RP or Drop. Got a handful of reps into the set and considered racking it and adding a plate but thought I better stay smart and not push my knee. So, ended up doing 18 reps or so (still a heavy weight) and racked it. Sat down for a minute and it was really hard to not do another quick set but decided to err on the side of caution.

    Seated leg curls: Two sets. Double drop on last
    Calves: Usual stuff.

    Here's a pic of my vertical press in my basement as well as a couple leg shots for ridicule:
