[khalid a.k.a Genocide]

Just came back from my usual grueling(heavy) shoulder workout. I usually go heavy on delts+traps day(mondays) and now I feel tired but good at the same time, and Im now ready to get my grub on. Which will comprise of chicken breast(8 thin strips) with pasta and gatorade mixed with glutamine.

For my shoulder(delts+traps) workout today, I did:

DB shoulder presses(heaviest was 95lb DB for 5 reps)
DB shoulder lateral raises
DB seated front raises
BB front raises
BB rear shrugs(started with 225lbs and heaviest was 365lbs) superset with BB front shrugs(heaviest was 455lbs)..

it took me an hour to complete these exercises.

*Ice cube voice* "Today was a good day".......

[ladybaltimore]

lol,, interesting thread,, I finally dragged myself back to the gym on Monday,, I'm basically just getting back into the habit of working out,, I was there for about an hour but I have to get used to going to the gym at that time because it gets crowded.....

[Infamous Gabriel]

30 minutes on the treadmill

4 sets of curls.

Then I just said fúck it and left. If I'm feeling better this evening I'm going back.

[Big H]

15 minutes of Static stretching and here we go...

BB curls - 5x5 routine followed by positive failure set on the 6th.
Drag curls (BB) - 3x12 routine with a superset of Hammer curls after each set.
Preacher Curls - 4x8 routine with ascending weight.
Bent-over Rows - 3x15 routine with Olympic bar
Lat Pull-downs - 5x5 routine with ascending weight
Seated Rows - 3x10 routine with descending weight.

All done in 45 minutes, gotta love circuit training.

when you go into the gym to do multiple body parts (ie: triceps and chest) is it better to do all your tri workouts then all your chest stuff? or alternate between exercises?

[Shaolin Temple]

[IndiaBlu]

are you talking to me?? You have asked me any other questions. :confused smilie :

Yes, Im sorry Khalid (I called u Khalil earlier. I've asked u a few questions...but thats ok *pouts* u can start by answering my last question. Oh and the one about my elbow hurting when I lift (on this machine), I reduced the amount but that feels like its not doing anything...any suggestions?

[khalid a.k.a Genocide]

what was the last question? Is it on this thread still?

Is it a chest-pressing movement machine that when you use your elbow hurts? or is it in general with any machine? Have you tried an elbow brace and also try and do lighter weights. Have you tried doing the same exercise you did on the machine with free weights. But if the pain persists then you ought to see a specialist/doctor. By "Its not doing anything" do you mean you're not feeling anything on your targeting muscle? or means that your elbow is still painfull?

[Infamous Gabriel]

Really light workout this evening. . 10-minute jog, preacher curls and military presses.
