I was very unhappy with the lateral raises. I haven't done them in forever it seems, so I thought I might do a little better, but no. And I didn't go up with my vertical bp either. I did go up on the tricep ext. though. :headbange

Yeah, I dont get much of a carryover from shoulder pressing to laterals. For me I need to do laterals to get stronger with them...and honestly its my favorite exercise for delts.

[S1K]

Don't get discouraged with the laterals..

I always seem to make great progress with them . then I just hit a wall where any atempt at increasing the weight only causes severe deterioration in form..

when that happens, I drop the weight down significantly and do the laterals with super strict form...for very high reps....again until I stop making progress...then I go back to heavier weight , lower reps with slightly less strict form..and it almost always help me to bust the plataue..

[S1K]

How do you like the HIIT cardio as opposed to the conventional "fat burn zone" style ?

[Matt76]

dang u are looking stronger than future keep up the good work

[future]

No kidding! It's annoying but she has a good trainer so what can I say? Seriously, she is very driven when she lifts. She puts all the effort and then some to get things done.

[Futures_Lady]

looking real strong!

Thanks. I try.

Well it is alot harder than the norm., but I don't think I've been doing it long enough to say whether or not it works better or the same. I sure do feel like I'm going to pass out afterwards though. So it must be working.

dang u are looking stronger than future keep up the good work

Thanks, but I am not stronger than him, probably pretty close though. I am just healthier than him at the moment....but not by too much.

Let me just say that MY BACK SUCKS! On my first exercise, the LP, during my 2nd hard set, 220lbs., my back felt like it was going to explode. I felt alot of painful pressure in my lower back. It is so ANNOYING! It seems like I can go for a few weeks and it doesn't bother much at all, meaning not anymore than the usual. And then all of a sudden something like this happens. The rest of my workout was pretty good though. The low pulley kickbacks were ok. I have done them before, but it's been awhile. Since my back was bothering me, I did raise my leg up very much. And yes, I still managed to do cardio after all of this. :headbange

Nice work. Next leg session we will tweak some things.
