Looking good bro! The workout you gave me is killing it btw. Hate to hear about the bicep tendon! Keep up the great work man.

Thanks bro. Is gay my shoulder doesnt hurt at all until i do flat bb press so hopefully skipping out on that while doing everything else will still let it heal.

Obsessed - no prob for the routine. im takin a break every 4 weeks so i dont overtrain.

Good workout. Didnt have my partner so no forced reps. BB Curl went up, Dips stayed the same. Preacher curls went up in weight but not reps so idk if it s PR or not but im sticking to that weight until I can get 8. Incline curl went up 1 rep as well, idk if my skullcrushers count because i didnt do my last sets of CGBP but who cares.

had to stop on CGBP because of shoulder. NO bb bench/cgbp for me for a while. Sticking to db's, hammer strength machines and pushups. Dips and skullcrushers dont even bother the shoulder a bit so ill do those for tris still.

Hey man how's the routine going so far. I'm seeing some PRs!

eh its OK, PR's are basically just PR's for lifts ive never done before or ones i didnt know my weights at so i just put PR.

My shoulder is hurting, the bicep tendon that connects at the shoulder, so NO pressing movement for me at all. I have to take chest day off for 3-4 weeks because i need it to be healed. SUCKS!

Damn bro sorry to hear that. At least you can catchup a little on your legs and back since most people start pressing before anything else.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

True! Thanks for sayin that i havent thought of it like that, i jus dont want my bench numbers to decline. I guess ill get them back anyway once i start training it again.

Oh and behind the neck bb military doesnt hurt, but when i do it in front to where it touches my chest it does. So is it cool to do behind the neck still? I dont want to skip out on shoulders

Week 3 Day 1- CHEST

Barely did anything. My shoulders a little fucked up and any pressing move hurts it. So next week im jus doin light day (20lb db incline) maybe some machine press and thats it.

Im really pissed about it but ill let it rest and catch up when its healed! Also heres some update pics of me. Not much improvement but whatever
