Shadow's Snap back to reality.....

[The Shadow]

Do tell..........

I am actually having some issues this week......my joints are giving me some shit....my strength is REALLY UP....but my joints are the limiting factor...if that makes sense. FOr Chest yesterday - I worked up to the 100 pound bells and on rep 7 - both shoulders began to twinge a bit...my pecs were still fairly strong.

Same thing on delts......began a set of BNP - worked to 175 - same issues.

I am on two products:

MCC and Amp02 - both from Omega.

I know some folks had gotten great results in the past.

I have NOT added the G-covery thus far as I wanted to see what indicidual compounds frlt like before stacking them. I am adding the g covery in today to see if the lack of joint strength/joint recovery goes away.


Outside of that - if I can FORCE myself to lift with lower weight and a longer rep cadence - the pumps are crazy.....I actually burst a small capillary in my upper bicep on my last arm workout

Took a couple of days off to rest the joints.

Chest:

Flat DB

70 x 20
80 x 15
90 x 10
100 x 7(PR).....on the eight rep..my shoulders said "fuck this"....no pain...just general weakness.

My strength is outruning my joints' ability to recover/strengthen....


I switched to some light arm work as presses, rows were out of the question and the pump was insane.

I measured then when I got home....18.75....on 213 pounds...which is the biggest they have been since I was 235.

Shoulders:

Standing BNP

....worked up to 175 x 4(PR)

Seated DB Press - working absolute bottom to half extension
2 x 65 x 12


Modified rear laterals
2 x 50 x 10(PR)........REALLY noticing a difference in rhomboids/rear delts

Side Laterals - drop set 40/35/25
10/7/5


Also did 3 sets of hyper/Glute ham raises

what is it with men and having to lift the heaviest wieght possible?


{sigh}
My SO is the same way. has to lift those 100lb dumbells. Wouldn't want the guys at the gym to see him lifting 80lb dumbells. life would just end.

I'm guessing that he probably doesn't have to work that hard at impressing the cardio bunnies at the gym.


...and I know he just loves those cardio bunnies. lolol
