Whoa we are all on a good groove for solid sessions ! I love it. Get this i did a "clark griswold" riding a ladder down as i was on a dam roof pushin in a window that cranks out cause it was stuck..lol ..gutters are sure made slick! No injuries except shins scraped and my pride..
Did early morning blood panel and then on to legs .
Cardio warm up
Flex leg extenstion machine
Lifefitness horizontal hammy machine
Front squats but now i see they tweak my repaired shoulder somewhat so light 165 weight for 12 tops
Standing isolated cable leg curls
Accutrainer free squat which to me adds good explosion out of the bottom if done correctly, pegged stack 400..
Super high 20count leg presses to shock and awe some lazy muscle fibers and add cardio all in one.. i became fried..
Standing calf machine
Accutrainer squat machine to do calfs on a 6x6 block

I dont know about you guys but is weather colder than usual? Low 30's here makes my squirrel tuck in.. Truck in shop so maybe a death ride on my bicycle to the gym fri.

We all rocking and rolling! IB, you are one funny fuck! lol

So I crushed my chest shoulders and tris this morning. I had to improvise on the shoulders but used a machine that I never did before and really liked it.

Incline Db bench (15-20rp) 10+5+3 Very solid reps and I was shaking at the end
Incline Fly Wm 23 reps
Freemotion Cable Overhead Shoulder press (15-20rp) 10+5+3 this thing has two low cables and a seat and it requires stabilization like DBs. Felt great
Side Lateral Wm ss w/ upright row - crushed me
Decline Close grip bench (15-20rp) went up 20lbs 9+4+2 tris looked swollen as hell
Overhead Tri ext WM - wicked pump

During my session a dude comes up to me and goes, "How do I get like that?" pointing to my arms. I go like what? He says, "All crazy ripped veiny and big!" I say, "Train hard and eat a lot."

Taipan's NPP is amazing so far. I'm getting much tighter in my midsection and have a nice full look to my muscles. I like this stuff a lot!

Just back in from the gun show... first one in a few weeks. My partner had me super-setting through the entire workout, bi's then right to tri's then back to bi's. Went way better than I expected. My weight is climbing back up even through I am only on HRT for the past month. It dropped during that hi-stress time. Good strength too. I wasn't expecting that. Maybe I am on to something.

Keep it rolling brothers!

I'm off today, and even though it is not a scheduled gym day for me, I think I am going to train chest today. I guess it's gonna be some isopress flat bench, flys, etc. Prob low wt, high reps. My right rotator cuff hurts from last weeks heavy benching.

Anyone got any ideas for rotator cuff friendly chest exercises??

Have you tried using dumbbells for your presses? I've heard these are a bit easier on you rotator vs. barbell presses.

Hammer strength machines are money for me... Maybe give that a try if you have them ay your Gym?
