20 seconds all out 10 second rest x 4.. I was going to puke.. normally I do 8 sets but I was gassed hard.
Racquetball 40 mins.
I don't know how much racquetball I'm going to do.. my shoulder kills after I play every time.. I threw out my shoulder constantly in baseball.. same feeling. Feh.
Anywhoo.. liked my workout.. traps were freaking huge. Delts don't seem to get pumped all that much.. they just grow... and I won't complain about it.. Hopefully they start growing more though..
Zed what was I doing last year that made my shoulders fucking huge? I'm doing Wide Grip Rows.. maybe I need to go heavy doing 10 sets of 3. I couldn't believe how huge my shoulders got last year.

Hey bro! Food for thought, take a look at my shoulder workout from the other day and give that a go, i like to pre fatigue my delts before presses as it gets a lot more blood in them before I start to press (I have crappy shoulders too and this helps a lot). Let me know if you have questions on any of it and I will get you sorted. Pm me for cell #.
I find shoulders can be rough to get pump in and last workout the pump was insane

pre-fatiguing is great for breaking through plateaus

Yep Grow's shoulder routine does look brutal! Another idea to fatigue the shoulders is what I do on the bag. That shit SERIOUSLY fatigues the delts. If that's what your after I'd suggest giving it a go. 200+ punches on a bag as hard and fast as you can before you start your shoulder routine.
Defeat is the stepping stone to victory.
Good on you for going when you didn't feel like it. Keep pushing bro!

Whew... Really feeling it in my traps and shoulders today. Been icing. I have some stuff to do for work so don't know if I'll be able to hit the gym.
Man I'm really gettin the tren sweats now. I'm constantly sweating and I'm walking around in shorts and sandals. It's 40-45 degrees so fairly warm for winter. But still. I can't keep cool. Lol.
Noticing slowly but I can see me leaning out more and more... Very slowly.

The more I hear about it the less I want to ever try tren! Lol!
