Thanks mate! Real condience builder hitting that set with ease. Makes me feel like I haven't lost too much strength during the layoff

Chained deads FTW! I'll keep the 5 rep sets going for a bit longer but I'm anxious to pull some heavy chained doubles & singles!

Thursday 1.17.13- Shoulders

Good stuff today. Blasted the upper body nicely. I'm feeling so much more comfortable with the DB movements now. Weights should be rising soon!


DB Shoulder Press
30s x 10
55s x 10
55s x 10
55s x 7
90 sec rest. Could have had 10 on the final set with a little more rest. just ran out of gas

Incline DB
30s x 10
60s x 10
60s x 10
60s x 10
90 sec rest. So much easier than last week, I threw these up like nothing. With the shoulders fatigued from the shoulder press, these were all chest. Got a nice pump going

Lateral Raises
25s x 10
25s x 10
25s x 10
90 sec rest

Reverse Flies
25s x 10
25s x 10
25s x 10
90 sec rest. Was originally going to use 20s for this and the lateral raises but I didn't feel like taking the big DBs apart. I need to order some more 1" plates for these, 10s, 5s & 2.5s

Skulls
45 x 10
70 x 10
70 x 10
70 x 10

It was a tribute deal, but I didn't see them.

Not true, especially when you can make Robert tear up. Watch this:

Thanks fella! Next bench session is Monday and it may involve chains

Volume squats coming tomorrow

[jeezyreezy]

90 seconds rests between everything... way to keep up the intensity!

[Raigs]

Nice session Wood! You really did some nice work with the DBs glad they are feeling better

great shoulder day by hitting front, rear and sides and then throwing in some tri action

[KenshinH]

Good shoulder session Woody! Will be waiting for your squatting vids tomorrow

Hell yeah, I've been loving it! Keeps the workout length manageable and definitely keeps the blood flowing! A few extra minutes here and there might help me hit a few more reps on the final set though.

Nice session Wood! You really did some nice work with the DBs glad they are feeling better

Thanks fella! I'm glad the adjustment phase with the DBs didn't last for long. 10x more stable this week with everything. Need to get more plates for them soon....

Thanks fella! Felt good to hit the long head of the tris with those skulls.

Good shoulder session Woody! Will be waiting for your squatting vids tomorrow

Thanks mate! I'll be doing 265 5x5 methinks, so I'll have plenty of footage

Awesome Woodman! Hope to be at 265 volume myself within the next few weeks.

Thanks dude! felt like gravy today, so I'll definitely be bumping up the volume weight next week. Was so unsure of where to start with all the layoffs I've had with colds & the back issue- I didn't want to go too heavy. Hopefully 305x5 will go up no problem on Wednesday

[KenshinH]

Put some weight on the bar!! 'Twas too easy bro. Back looks to be 100%?

Thanks Ken! Back is good to go!
Yeah it was way easy today. Strength is back way faster than I expected

[mstatefan91]

Squats looked easy. Time to add some more weight and challenge yourself. But not too much. 5 lbs here and there adds up when you're doing 5x5.

Who wants to race me to a 365x5x5 on squat? Any takers?

Thanks fella, was definitely an easy session. I could easily add 10 pounds to my next volume session but I don't want it to bite me in the ass later on.

lol I'm quite a ways away from 365x5, nevermind 5x5

[BenT]

nice session dude! squats looked nice and easy

To quote Justin Lascek.....

Don’t be silly or stupid to fulfill bragging rights; nobody cares how big your penis is, and nobody cares what you do on Volume Day. Save the dick swinging for an adult-like Intensity Day or a competition lift.

I wanna see a race to a 405x5!!!

edit: Oh yeah, nice volume squats Woody! Only 3-4 minutes of rest is pretty short actually.

[Ironlife]

Going along nicely already on the squats, keep doing what your doing and add small increments. Its all gonna help.

Hows the back these days?
