There must be some bodybuilding thing going on in Orlando this week. There was a bodybuilding chick in the hotel gym working with her trainer. She was straight up beast mode

 

this time of year you will find a ton of those in Florida and California.  No joke, there are at least 4 or 5 during the work week every week and 25-30 every weekend in Florida from mid Feb to late April.

 

I guess it makes sense, a lot of people would rather go there to do that type of thing.

 

 

 

edit

question for ya'll.  With your shoulders how far down do you go on your shoulder press?  Bar behind the head or in front of it.?

 

the reason I ask is that my right shoulder joint gets a heck of a lot of discomfort doing it in front of my back but not behind.  I am not sure if it is because I actually go too low or not because I only ever see people lowering it to their forehead at the lowest.  It never does anything for me to do that and while I have weak shoulders in comparison to my overall strength I don't get anything from shoulders, ever, in 20 something years.

 

crap, now I feel like I am venting.

I have added Tri-Flex Sport ( I get GNC stuff very cheap! ) and Jell-O to my post workout and morning proteins.  The Jell-o contains 10x's the amount of whatever it is I cant remember because I am tired stuff that helps with forming cartilage and ligaments.   I have done this in the past, it makes for a great way to flavor your stuff.

 

How is the goat?



Shoulder wise I never do behind the neck presses and I never take my upper arms below parallel with the floor. Both of those things cause impingement. The shoulder joint is very delicate.

 

That to most people is usually about the nose or ears.   When looking at your video it is confusing to me because the forearms should be 90degrees from the bar and maintain that angle to keep it off of the triceps.  Still he has good form, the same I use.  I watched that right before I got started - since I usually do cardio to warm up.  I think the only difference may be my elbows turning out a little too wide.

 

When behind the head I only go to the crown of my head and usually do this while standing.

 

I worry about much of my body because I abused it horribly for many years in school and a short athletic career in college.

 

If your form is good and it hurts to do it, you may want to seek out a doctor. I would recommend a sports medicine doctor as they tend to get you back in the gym faster.

I am too much of a hypochondriac to go to a Dr.  I know that sounds funny but I'd end up thinking I have lupus, a damaged growth plate and a stubbed toe because my shoulder hurts.

 

Plus, I think it is more mental then physical right now.  With the emphasis of me realizing my limits and to slow down because even just now sitting here on the couch with the laptop and arm on the rest it is a nice dull ache.

 

I hate to be cliche gym knuckle dragger but I want to give it a few weeks before I move to the next level. (I got laid off from my job and lost benes but got ObamaCare because it's cheap as hell when you have no real income!)
