Trained chest today. Changed things up a little and trained with a partner. Started with Bench 5X12 with 225 got 8 on my own and then really used the spot to force out the negs. Having the spot to help get each rep up after 8 and then letting the weight down to my chest as slow as i possibly could for the full neg.

Free weight flys with the spotter forcing out those last 5 reps. 5x12 on my own then the spotter helped force 5 more reps each set.

Hammer strength incline presses 5x12

finished it off with peck deck.

No supersets today just the forced reps. I am tired!!

[tri-terror]

IB I respectfully disagree with the high rep sets... Man or woman what we want to be be concerned with IMO is the building of lean muscle. SO we need to get the reps down and do an anaerobic workout. Behind the neck pulldowns I can understand going light but most things should be "heavy" for the individual.

 

[kubes]

Hit back and bi's today....
Lat pulls heavy 5x12 superset dumbbell curls
Free motion pull downs superset preacher curls 5x12
Hammer strength seated rows 5x12 superset hammer curls
Close grip pull downs 5x15 superset hammer strength burn out curls. 10 reps and another 10 forced reps each set.

I am pooped and now headed off to work all day

I agree... However, one can use high reps to fatigue to initiate growth. It will have a similar hypertrophic stimulus and cause the metabolic damage needed to stimulate hypertrophy. however the mechanical stress will not be as great and it may not produce the same level of muscular damage...heavy mechanical tension on the eccentric leads to greater muscular and if the diet is right, muscle damage will lead to hypertrophy.

Had a kickin' chest, shoulders and tris session!

Flat Neutral DB Press (15-20RP) 10+4+2 went up 5 lbs
Incline Fly WM
Naultilus Machine Shoulder Press(15-20RP) went up 10 lbs 10+5+3
Side Lateral WM
Dead Skulls (15-20RP) up 5lbs 10+4+2
Overhead Tri Ext WM

Runnin' with the IV gear stack now... left ol' ICL in the dust. Anyone wants to try ICL stuff, PM me.

Good to see everyone around here.
Life threw Brick a curve ball. Gotta have some surgery real soon to remove a suspicious "mass" in the tube that comes out of my right kidney (ureter) right above my bladder. It will be an out-patient procedure. I have my fingers crossed the biopsy will be a good one and not some aggressive MF that will take more aggressive treatment. Didn't even know something was wrong until I started peeing blood. Right now, I'm out of the gym and focused on beating this. I'll be poking my head in here though... wish me luck

 

[Phoe2006]

Goodluck brick you'll be in my thoughts and prayers keep us posted on ur results from the biopsy

 

[Ironbuilt]

Ohhhh brick I'm a good maid if u need one.
Fitniks tryin to drop water and lean up so shes suppose to do 5 reps sets and bulk for her show 2 weeks from now? Little late for her mass I think but I'm no personal trainer.and my sports ortho says behind neck pulldowns are deadly for the shoulders.Etc. Weird .I too love back/bi day Jim .. Thks for the tips guys ..
I had day off. Mindset in the gutter persay.. Rain and grey sky doesn't help.
