In that order?

 

I don't know if I could do a lot of trap work the day after I deadlift.

 

Generally... there are some exceptions of course.

 

Honestly my traps never really get sore either on shoulder day or deadlift day?

Depending on how hard I go, mine will get sore.  Probably a sign I need more trap work anyway.

 

Sorry babe, no cardio, so I'm gonna try this in a 4 day split.

 

Going to a 4 day split, I need to expand what I'm doing chest-wise as well.

 

-Barbell/dumbbell press

- flies

-??

Talking about not feeling it in the shoulders after working them out or the next day - it's a pain in the ass.  Most men who do any type of physical work in their lives on a routine basis have dense and strong muscle in their shoulders that recovers quickly and becomes very hard to improve size/mass vs. the rest of the body.  They become like the calves and forearms - which is why I do a routine every so often which puts me doing them 3 times a week, very heavy and very few reps at only 2 - maybe 3 - sets.

 

It does a lot.  I can post the workout if you'd like but am feeling lazy and got stuff to do.  Plus, you're Panthers fans so you're probably not worthy

I do chest day two ways...   bench press and non bench press.

 

Bench press day, I usually start on the bench and do five sets up...  135, 185, 225, 245, 275 then at least two back down, 225 and 185 as many as I can.  Then I'll go on to some sort of incline, either dumbbells or machine, incline barbell kills my shoulders. Then I'll do pec-deck, dumbbell flies, cable flies, decline barbell or some combination of those and I usually end with supersets of crunches and push-ups.

 

Non bench day I just start with usually incline dumbbell presses which I also pyramid up and then down, flat dumbbell presses or maybe smith machine declines, then on to flies or the pec-deck.

 

Essentially I try and switch up the order every other time and I don't always do flat bench barbell presses.

 

Other chest stuff... close grip bench, plate presses... take a plate, lay down and it's like a close grip press essentially...

add the clock push ups with a plate on your back and you will really help get everything working unilaterally and improve overall function.

Hey Irv, you going to the gym today?

I started adding a Brazilian butt workout back into my weekly workout schedule. I forgot how much it hurts and how quickly you see results.

If any girl reads this thread I highly recommend that workout. Even just the one called high and tight. The instructor is annoying but the moves get it done.

[Darth Biscuit]

Anything that has "brazillian" and "butt" in it, sounds excellent.

After watching some videos, I think I've been going too deep on my bench presses.

After watching some videos, I think I've been going too deep on my bench presses.

 

to deep as in too far down vertically up and down?  or too deep as holding the bar too low when you press?

 

I'd be curious to see the videos.  it is chest day after all

Deadlifted  300 lbs today. Fug yes I finally fugging did it. This had been a goal of mine for while now. Lifted it like a champ and was able to hold it for a couple seconds.

 

 

I cut down the reps and saved the mixed grip for 255 and up. Put in about 20 mins of jump rope after that and walked my ass back to 8 mile.

 

 

 

350 is next
