good looking workout. Better bump up the weight for that set of 20. That way you don't have to do anything after your squats But i'm a huge fan of 1-2exercise workouts

Eh, it was OK thanks man. Ill bump the weight when my weak ass can handle it. What do you think of 5 sets of squats, then maybe 1-2 sets of the others? I dunno, as long as I keep lifting and keeping track I suppose. I am just so injury ridden and accident prone right now, its almost depressing.

Ill be goin to the doctor for my shoulder, back and knee sometime now that I have insurance, god I cant wait to take care of these obstacles.

Just be careful you don't hurt yourself further, whatever you do!!

I hate 20 rep squats!!!! They're brutal.

I try, thats why my WOs are so light now. I just hate not lifting though. If I dont lift, or do somekind of activity I feel like a panzy.

20 rep squats are all I grow on. Anything lower and I just get leaner legs.

Your workout looks similar to what dorian yates use to do. Are those one set for every exercise??

[skullsmasher]

well you might say so, my rest periods differ so one might call them rest-pauses or something. I personally dont like long rest periods ie more than 2 minutes at the most.

Gotta write down my logbook entries.

I have been in a lot more pain than usual from this shoulder of mine. I ordered a whole roll of the green and grey thera-bands. hopefully I will get em soon. I liked using the bands when i cant lift and to warm up. they also seemed to be helping, until they broke.

I have appts to see a chiro (Back isnt my main concern but, might as well check it out with my new ins) and an ortho in the next coupple weeks. I hope to god I can get back to being able to lift like I used to.
I got a new log that I write everything down in. 225 pages, every page can hold probly 4 days worth of lifting info, my goal is to use all of the pages.

how did ya hurt your shoulder?

[skullsmasher]

I have dislocated my right shoulder 6 times, last of which was 3 years ago. I seem to have an impingement/Bursitis in my left now and it is giving me more problems then my right by far.

I dont know when exactly I hurt em, maybe in a car accident, maybe from doing behind the neck shoulder presses/flat barbell benching too heavy.

[skullsmasher]

I also had a compressed disc in L-4/L-5 which rarely gives me problems.

Ive been stickin to the saem routine, jus lgihter weight. tryin to be as careful as possible with my shoulder. Thses thera-bands are great! I have an increaed ROM and less pain when lifting, which I am assuming is because I have been warming up with rotator cuff exercises and doin like 3-8 sets with these almost every day. When I do em it makes my shoulder feel much better for some reason. I can feel it in the joint as opposed to the delts. I can feel em gettin worked and it feels really good. I will definately keep using these. I have also just stuck to DBs with whatever ROM feels good. I have been almost abel to go back to a full ROM sometimes.

Went to one chiropractor who was a friggin joke, he said I nee dto drink more green tea and take 2g vit c............TO FIX MY BACK!!??? They might help to an extent but, I didnt buy it. So I talked to a few other people on other boards and found a chiro that does more hands on type wor. I have an appt with him tomorrow. also have a appt for a ortho on the 7th to evaluate my shoulder(s)

[irongirl]

I hear ya about the shoulder problem. I am dealing with an impingement right now and it has me fucked. I can't lift. It causes a lot of pain at times and is just dowright ANNOYING. I am having physio and massage. Good luck with it!
