Future,
What are Halbert Raises?

There is a video posted here somewhere. Sorta like lying face down on a incline bench then doing front raises with dumbells.

I can't really eat before I work out so I just had 60mgs of protein in the form of a shake along with a cup of coffee.

Post workout I went to a local Mexican restaurant and had 3/4 lbs of Carne Asada (charbroiled skirt steak/ Mex spices), a large bowl of pinto beans (not refried), and a cup of white rice. Then a went home and cooked up some Arroz Con Pollo (chicken and rice, Puerto Rican Style) and added about a large portion of Lentels to the mix which I ate about 3 hours after my post workout meal.

Nice!

I would say you are overdoing it with traps but most guys do. I think eventually this can lead to AC damage and rotator tears.

I value your opinion so what would you suggest? This is actually the first time I have worked traps in a while so if I don't need to work them out better for me. That just means I can do something else to get yoked.

hey future - i noticed that you did 4 shoulder exercises and 2 for biceps. is that pretty typical of your shoulder and bi routine? how often are you training shoulders and bis?
Is the "high angle incline press" on the hammer machine or do you do those in a smith or ?? and why do you do those over military press?

ok no more questions. haha

i agree. heavy trap lifting is overrated. slower, isometric contractions till near failure works.

Judging from your avatar nothing needs to be replaced...just removed. Do some ab work and stretch.

Your shoulder girdle looks great and strong. If you need to do SOME trap work go for it but limit it.

LOL thats ok...

I am really not focused on biceps directly but per most of the guys that tease me for using straps I do alot of back work that works my biceps. Normally my shoulder work right now is more rehab since I am still in a fair amount of pain doing...well...everything. I do high angle incline presses in rack or Smith or whatever. I cant actually do shoudler presses yet. Hurts way too much. I do alot now just to rehab myself.
