I'm sure neither of us are in any kind of danger of someone pointing out that one muscle is bigger than the other. Recently I have started touching the muscle (when possible) I'm working when lifting. Also tend to turn my head and look at the muscle to create that mind/muscle connection. It seems to be working, but hell what do I know. |

i'm finally confidently lifting 135 for barbell shoulder press in my last set - 7-8 reps... been ending leg day with these - since i don't have a designated shoulder day. And the sissy squats are helping activate parts of my quads... i'm using the smith machine, putting my legs fwd w. heels on 25 lbs plates... JP10

Side note, lifted chest this morning. Was solid over all. Every now and again I over extend doing flys and my left shoulder has minor pain. Usually towards the end of my workout, so I called it quits after that. I've tried to push through even just minor things you wouldn't think is an injury before and it isn't worth it haha. |

I'd never heard of sissy squats and had to look them up. Ugh, just did leg day yesterday and this afternoon is bis/tris. I'll try to do a couple of sets to see how they feel.

Confession thread is over there ->
Right now I'm STILL just doing core/stretches because of WC. Dr. is almost convinced I can at least sit on machines and do upper isolation movements. He said deadlift are out of the question . . . |

the way down - when you do them do you go heavy or stay on the 10 rep range? Back n Bi's today - weighted pull-ups - reverse grip cable pull downs ended with 200 lbs for 8 reps, felt solid. JP - As for the fly's i like to do 2-3 sets incline first then 2-3 sets flat bench - I don't go heavier than 60's it's not needed if you go slow. Then i'll hit the Fly machine and go heavy. |

Damn you're gettings 60's on your flys, that is very solid. I'd probably tear something lol. I usually max out at 40s-45s. Not saying I couldn't go heavier, but I'm a form nazi. I try to make sure I am getting full extension through the motion - arms no less than 135° - DB will usually stop when they are inline with my chest. Doing so puts a lot of tension on my front delt hence I keep it lighter through that movement. Prefer to do them incline then I'll go right into incline DB squeeze presses to failure, get a mean pump after that. |

Rode 20 miles today in the nice weather, felt great.
Fitbit tells me that calories burned per hour is greater for walking and swimming, compared with biking. Seems strange because average heart rate for each activity is roughly the same. What do people think about Fitbit's calorie burn data? |

First time INDOORS at the gym yesterday, since La 'Rona. Dr. released me to do low/slow individual muscle isolation. Chest I dropped to just 25lbs each side, 7-second for each rep. THAT was a different type of burn, especially after not lifting for 4 weeks.
Oh, and while we were allowed inside, I still went out to Muscle Beach, in the wind, and mid-50s temps. Oh, the huge manatee!! |

Legs this morning, did a lighter day since my right knee is bothering me a little bit. Felt pretty solid upon waking up this morning, but didn't want to risk going into an injury.
Been eating an excessive amount at home. Parents visited and left way too many snacks so I need to work my way through them haha. Should have them taken care of by the weekend hopefully. Might start cutting right after Thanksgiving. |

Right knee still giving me some problems, might have to take an off day or at least not do cardio. Felt fine yesterday, but might've tweaked it on the incline treadmill this morning.
Yesterday was chest day, and today was arms. Feeling full haha. |

Had bis/tris yesterday. Did something to my right wrist, so haven't been able to do heavy in a few months. Was doing reverse grip preacher curls with curl bar and damn by bis were dying at the peak.
Did lightweight tris as well since apparently my tennis elbow is back in my right one (entire right arm is trying to give up & I'm only 31), but focused on squeezing the muscle at the end of pull-downs, and that was killer. Haven't been able to do a real arm day in a couple of weeks, so it was nice to do. Shoulders/Traps on the docket for today

Cold and rainy here, so back into the pool.
Did 0.8 miles and it felt good. Then a long soak in the spa and a quick hot shower on someone else's nickel. Life is good. |

I hear ya, I try to be a deligent as possible when listening to my body. Any sign of potential injury I'll usually change path to avoid. Currently both of my knees seem to be giving me some issue. Almost as if I am overextending them, which I could see to an extent. I do at least 30 mins of cardio a day. And bulk of my cardio puts excess pressure on my knees, running/incline treadmill/stairmaster. As of now I have switched my regimen up to include cycling (static). Actually enjoying it a solid bit, feels nice in the hips and knees couldn't be happier.
Lifted back on friday, and managed to get into the gym Saturday for shoulders. Although upon arriving at the gym I realized I was in no condition to be there haha (too hungover - not proud of it but it is what it is). Managed to push through a 75min workout, but felt like death afterwards - most likely dehydrated. Took Sunday off to rest as my body is getting beat down like I mentioned above. Was back in there this morning for chest day, good day overall, did a strict DB only workout. Lot of stretching an full range of motion movements, felt great! |

Just returned from Siesta Key, had an awesome vacation there, no gym, just pullups and some light calisthenics, managed to gain 1 pound, so I'm happy at 201 lbs at the moment. Can't wait to tear the gym up tomorrow.
