Ever try the close grips on a decline - if not give it a whirl, you may discover some deep horrible agony you'll crave moving forward! :D

First, yes I actually usually do my close grips on the decline. But since I did them for chest I figured I'd try something different.

The first exercise for each muscle is 6-8 reps.
second is 10-13
third is 15-17

That's a little higher than what Phil preaches but I'm old. :D

I'm out today... I am pretty sore after 3 good ones in a row. Food and rest and a little R&R in the sun if I can fit it in. Tomorrow, I'm back at it for shoulders.

So, I slept like shit last night. Seemed like I looked at the clock every hour and a half.

Felt like I was on a shit load of Tren.

Took my resting heart rate this morning. Seemed ok. About 60.

Hopefully I'm not OTing on this routine already.

Psych, good to see you here brother
Dang Alin, that must have been a good session!
Sandpig, I can identify. I hate when those happen. Might have been just one of those nights? Hopefully, its not a pattern.

Rest day did me good. Going for a morning walk in a few for a little cardio. Planning on some shoulders and traps after lunch. Work schedule looks good today so it should be good to go.

Let's make this a good day brothers. One that will make us smile later.

Not my Best Workout

Yesterday I did three sets of mirrors, took a steam, went up to the bar, had a Terrapin, did one arm curls, and watched World Cup. Does that count Brick?

Unfortunately, that was my true workout! LOL

Hit the ol guns yesterday. My workout partner has a little less time to train than I do so when we hook up, the pace is faster than what I would do on my own. It was a good one. The shoulder has been giving me fits this week but I pushed thru anyway.

Lifting at a face pace just means you got your cardio in all the same time. Beats the treadmill any day!

Yep, thats my philosophy as well, screw cardio.lol. I probably walk damn near 5 miles every day at work - on my feet all day long and sweat my ass off in the heat anyways...
Chest, back, delts today. Gonna really hit it extra hard cause i slacked on them last time with the combined workout. Shootin for 14-15 sets each with 3-4 exercises per body part. Have a good saturday brothers!

This mornings workout was

DB Curl
Preacher
HS Peak Curl (That's what I call it. It's the selectorized machine with seat set low so elbows are up high near my face).

Seated Calf
Calf press on LP
One leg calf

Leverage squat
Split squat (done Meadows style)
Ext

Leg curl (elbows tucked under ribs grabbing top of pad)
Stiff legged DL
Lunge (really long strides to hit hams)

Can't wait for Monday. Intensity will step up a bit now that I've gone through this once and I know what kind of weights I need to use for each exercise.

Some I guessed wrong and were a little light, which I didn't mind cause this routine is totally new for me.
