That pain is similiar to my past. I used to get a pinch in the shoulder while upright rowing. You need give yourself more time to stretch and warm up w/ light weights before you go heavy. Are your shoulders sore the next day? To break em down more, doing side laterals I keep 20's, 15's and 10's to keep dropping the weight after failure w/ the previous. I do it on the last set or so of each exercise. I hope this helps | ||

Looks pretty good but what about specificly targeting your rear delts? I used to do upright rows as well but not too often any more. Currently I do - Barbell shrugs x 4 | ||

heman is right... do those behind neck presses. that or a front press or clean and press. something that you can really put some weight on. Also, have you just started using the ez-curl? I experienced some pain when i first began using it. just my 2�. | ||

Hey bigbear, thanks man. To tell you the truth I am tempted to try that but I'm afraid i'm going to lose strength. I do want to get big though. When you say two days on and two off do you mean split the routine you listed into 2 days? With 2 days of rest. Please respond, thanks. | ||

Listen to Big Bear, he posted a good routine. Don't even bother with isolation movements, focus on compound exercises. ------------------ Check out http://pub30.ezboard.com/bhitsgymofbodybuilding -HB- | ||

garza read the post agian and you will see i listed w/o1 and w/o 2.all so you wont lose any stregnth on your isolation excercises when you return to them i never incline on a regular basis but i went to gym with a buddy and followed his routine and he inclined so i all so inclined guess what 275x5 on my top set not to bad for not working this excercise dirrectly something to think about all so it seems that db benching doesnt have the same carry over effect as regular benching hope this helps big bear | ||

Hi Garza, I'll help you out. I recommend focusing on compound movements and dropping isolation movements. You don't need a lot of exercises dedicated to shoulders, because they are worked from other exercises. Like bench presses, dips, pulldowns. Here's a routine that I recommend. Monday Thursday Do 2-3 warm up sets. Add a pound or two on each lift every week or two. If you have any questions regarding this routine, please ask. Good luck. ------------------ Check out http://pub30.ezboard.com/bhitsgymofbodybuilding -HB- | ||

OK thanks alot guys. Hit BB, I do have some questions. 1. Do I only do that every monday and thursday? 2. Is that my entire routine? 3. What about going lower reps and higher weights on squats. Like 6 to 8 reps? I know its ridiculous but I can just see myself loosing strength from doing this routine, can you gaurantee me anything...if I work very hard at it? Thanks for all the help bros | ||

I believe that 20 rep squats and deadlifts stimulate more muscle fibers. They are very intense, but that is what you're looking for. It would be good to keep the other core movements at 6-8 reps. Your calves can endure a lot of work. I recommend keeping them 12-20 reps, but if you would rather go lower, please do so. Losing strength on this routine? If anything I believe you should be gaining strength, because this routine allows you to recover fully before working out again. I recommend trying it for a few weeks, if you find that you're losing strength, go back to your approach. Good luck. Be sure to train to absolute failure. Have a spotter help you perform 1-3 forced reps on each set and then 1-3 negatives on your last set. Let me know how it goes. ------------------ Check out http://pub30.ezboard.com/bhitsgymofbodybuilding -HB- | ||
