thebrick's - What are you Training Today?

[tri-terror]

Hey guys. Hit up some chest and back today before work. Fucking left shoulder has been bugging me so I didn't go crazy with weight. Knocked out 3 sets of decline bench with my first set at 345 for 11 reps. That's it for chest thought about doing some dips but saved it all for back. Did 3 sets of wide pulldowns up to 160 for 12 then a few with my MAG handle at 235 205 and 190. Did 3 sets on db rows with both done at the same time. 80 65 and 50 for 8 to 10 each.
THEN... Fucking deadlift bitches. 135 for 5. 225 for 3 and 315 for a single. I was pumped! Could a got 405, I know it.

Sitting here with a tear in my eye. All my gym rats hitting back. Gives me a good feeling inside. Nothing like a thick back for that power look.

What happens when Brick takes a Mobic and a little dmso on that rusty shoulder? He gets a great shoulder workout in. No crazy poundages but no screaming "holy shit, that hurt" either!

No Halloween tonight, got storms instead.

[thebrick]

Just back in from the Friday gun show. My training partner loves arm training so he pushed me hard.

jim: I like holding those shrugs at the top too. Pull high and hold. Really hits em hard and makes them burn.

Everyone have a great Friday.

Right thats why i use dumbells. I do 10 shrugs both shoulders holding each one and after that i hold my left shoulder in the up position while doing ten more reps with the right then switch to holding my right shoulder up doing 10 reps with my left. Then 10-15 more reps together. Gets the traps really pumped bro.

 

[The Grim Repper]

Tonight was legs. Tomorrow, thankfully is tissue work. You do the math.
LOL

LOL Too damn tired to elaborate. One of those workouts that you finish and after your PWO feed you literally are passing out from fatigue. I'm eating and resting big for two days.

Hey Jim, sounds good. I've always mostly shrugged both at the same time when using dumbbells. I have done a variation where I sit at the very end on a bench, put a plate on the other end of the bench for some stability, brace myself by holding the bench with my free arm, then using the other arm, shrug the dumbell up. Sitting down keeps it super strict and using one arm at a time, I can pull that weight high and hold. I like your idea, I'm always looking for new ways to hit traps.

Traps do not get used for much else so the more ideas we share the better. I find changing it up especially with traps makes them grow like weeds! I am gonna incorporate some of your training methods as well. I trained at a different gym today and that helps to because of the different variety of machines to train with. At this gym we have a shrug machine that iso's each trap... Its pretty cool too. Even though it wasn't a shoulder day today it was my back day Just thought i would share some more ideas

 

[Ironbuilt]

Bad ass idea jim! I too love new ideas and thats why we are here at team brick.
