Thanks David! I've done so many different programs throughout the years. I might stick with particular program for 8-12 weeks, maybe longer. But after so many years it get's to the point where I need to keep things fresh, shake things up and my body seems to respond well...so I go with it!

Although I have been using Carlman's leg program for the past 6 weeks. I'm happy to say I've gained another 1/2 inch in my legs which is awesome!

Was wondering if you do most of your work on the incline or decline rahter than the flat?

Hi Yak hope you're doing well! I mix it up between incline and flat. I'm not a fan of decline at all...never felt like I got anything out of it.

[cactusflower]

Morning Kim! Hope you have an awesome day!

[BuckSpin]

Just did this one & it fried me:

Incline Smith Strip Set Pause Presses w/ Ladder Set
Floor DB "Dead" Presses
Leaning Dips

The Smith set was one of the roughest things I've ever done in my short time doing this.

Today was back/shoulders. Overall it was a strong workout. I'm having a problem when I do pullups. The past few times I've done them I have pain that runs down my arm. It starts at the lower part of my delt through the upper part of my bicep. I've changed grip width but it's not helping. I think I'm going to start doing these every other week instead of every week.

Anytime! You are worth it

Question: what do you do when you don't feel like working out? Like I do right now!

I make myself a nice cup of black coffee. I sit at my computer and read through everyone's workout journals, while blasting some kind of song from you tube. Something heavy, something that I would listen to at the gym that gets me focused and in the zone.

This usually works for me!

hmmmmmmmmmm this could work... but I would have to get up to make the coffee LOL.
I'll just get moving and make myself go...that's what I usually do!

I just stand up and scream F**K!!!! and move my a$$ to the car lol

[2nd_chance]

Rows and presses are very impressive Kim!

Electing for sharp pain biweekly instead of weekly is always a good decision! Take care of it.

[Fit_After_40]

Alot of impressive numbers Kimm. Very nice work.

By the way, what does the HS stand for?

Better to do something about this now, rather than later.

The change may also help you determine if it's actually the pullups, or something else that's causing the problem.

HS stands for hammer strength.

This is true. The other thing is this only started happening since I've started doing pullups as my 1st exercise. I used to throw my pullups in towards the end of my workouts. So now I'm wondering if I should go back to the old way? Maybe my muscles are used of being warmed up with other exercises first? The only reason I started doing them first was to see if I could do more then I when I save them for the end.

I'll play around and see what happens.

[rockeo]

kimm impressive as u rock the goods whoohooo thata Women
are u sure u dont wanna be my bodyguard hehehee

[Buffycat3]

Playing around would be good ...too see if maybe the all-out force with doing the pull-ups last in the workout will correct the issue.

What do you do when you are not working-out?
Are you physical? Are you at a physical job?

My job has me doing a lot of arm work...and sometimes if doing a particular job, it plays a (uncomfortable) part in my training.

Keep on playing!

It wouldn't surprise me if you've hit on the cause of the problem. You can find out easily enough, by laying off them for a week, and then going back to your previous routine the following week.

[rpaul11]

I gotta agree with Bill on this one. you've gone from doing them fter being fully warmed up to doing them almost cold....
