I was worried and kind of expected your answer... :-). The thing is, i don't like, for example, cable exercises for biceps. I don't really get any "tension" in my muscle. But maybe it would be a good idea to start with one cable exercise and then continue from that (kind of pre-exhaustion, which i actually never do)!??do over head cable bicep ext-like a front double bicep pose-squeeze slowly and hold contraction for 1 second-you'll feel it! i do not gain muscles very easily and not using the basic exercices (and using machines, cables instead.) will probably not help me machines and cable still build muscle!. but i have to do something... What about slow reps? My thought is that i need less weight and even get more tension in my muscles. Any maybe i can stick to the free weights...

Regarding your slingshot pyramiding. This mean i will do 2 warm up sets and thant start with set 1 and 12 reps to good failure, right? 3 warm ups and 12-15 reps for you
regarding my inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon, are there any other exercises i should avoid. Actually with the inflammation nearly every exercise hurts but are there any exercies i should totally avoid in the future (i agree with benchpress particular incline bp because this hurt the most)avoid all free weight exercise for chest and over head pressing (this will help take tendon out of movement). Use slight declines and slight inclines on smith. Take bar to mid chest only on inclines and do not touch chest. Stick to hammer strength over head presses for shoulder presses. You may be able to do standing leaning lateral raises holding onto a pole/piece of equipment because it puts less tension on supraspinatus tendon .

Right now i'm just doing my leg workout. Do think i can add at least triceps as there is not much shoulder involved (of course no dips, french presses).

Sorry for that many questions but i am a bit desperate right now...

Thanks, have a great weekend!
