Damn bro! I would advise you drop the behind head pulldowns as they are murder on your shoulders and simply not worth it.

Yeah they ain't all that effective either, you'd be best off with some pull ups in there instead.

I don't go heavy because I know they are hard on the shoulders, but I would have to disagree on what you say about them being ineffective. I get a great burn when I do them man. Also, I don't even usually do them, my buddy and I are just doing this new program and they are in the second 4 week cycle of it.

reverse flies:
3 sets didn't even pay attention to the weight.

Then I did 2 sets of a superset mixing machine shoulder presses standing reverse flies and seated side laterals.



Then I did a bunch of bis and tris cuz I didn't really hit them this week, so I just got a good pump and headed out. Happy that I got a new pr on shoulder press.

How you doin in here playa?
Are you doing one body part per workout? How is that working for you bro?
Looking forward to seeing your updated pics bro.
Best of luck to you.

 

[playa123456]

I usually do 2 body parts per workout, except on leg day. This last week was just a little crazy.

 

[playa123456]

Hey if it's working for you bro keep it up. I sacked em ages ago in favour of pull ups but that's just me.
