SUNDAY NOON: lower B

Back squat - warmups + 110 x 5,5,5,5,5
SLDL - warmups + 110 x 5,5,5, 90x8
RDL - 50x5 paused
Hyperextensions - BW x 12, +15kg x 8 + BW x 8 , +5kg BTN x 10 + BW x 8,+5kg BTN x 7 + BW x 8

Back squat was sickening. Carbed up last night, so fun today. SLDLs were ok. Hyperextensions very good - started putting the plate behind my head/neck, much better, and the bodyweight dropsets finished me off.

Wanted to train calves today but decided to give it a miss cos my plantar fasciitis was playing up like hellfire. Tried a few hanging leg raises but my shoulders were killing me - and they also felt like **** during my squats.... #worried

and for anyone who missed it yesterday, here's my end of cut photos http://imgur.com/a/TnuEp#0
Nice work brah. Finally outsquatting Rachel. :ahee:

In b4"i swear m8, u r 1 cheeky ****"...

Nice session, and the cut pics are fantastic brah:yy:

Just Googled Lu xiaojun raises because I didn't know what they were, saw some Asian guy doing them on Youtube (quarkkk). Are they effective and do they just mimic the traditional side raise?

They are very similar to Arnie's cat raises

Well judging by those lower ab veins you got pretty damn lean, good job- what % do you reckon you're at?

If I were you I'd do some dedicated ab work to try and bring your abs up to take advantage of your leanness! What weight did you end the cut at?

reckon about 11-12% ? No interest in bringing my abs up, to me, abs are functional and I don't believe in training them concentrically - because it has no function and its not safe. It's actually harmful to load the spine in flexion.

Lu raises are pretty good for traps, not very effective for lateral delts - the lateral delt raise variation I do is possibly the best side delt movement of all time. You gotta lean to the side so that your shoulder is in 20 degrees of abduction with the arm hanging perpendicular to the floor. This removes supraspinatus from the movement and shortens the lateral deltoid moment arm, thus isolating the lateral delt. There's also a degree of internal rotation involved, and I use a thumbless pronated grip with a slightly flexed elbow... I should probably do a video.

I think I know the movement you're on about but a video would be good.
In, finally. That feel when I was going to be the fist poster a week ago, although just before I clicked 'submit reply' I got banned.

WEDNESDAY NOON: upper horizontal - healthy

DB bench (flat) - 32 x 6
DB bench (high incline) - 24 x 10, 6
DB row - 44 x 10, 34 x 10, 10
Chest press - 54 x 8
Seated row - 75 x 6, 82 x 5, 35.5 x 8 (one-arm pronated), 47 x 10 (two-arm neutral)
Pec deck - 56.5 x 10, 59 x 8, 61 x 6
Cable fly - 10 x 8,8,8
Seated cable row (neutral) - whole stack (?) x 10
T-bar row - 40 x 8
Overhead tricep extension - 30 x 6,6,6
Lu xiajoun raise - 5kg plate per hand x 10, 10, 5
Facepull - 26.25 x 10, 31.25 x 8, 8

Saw my doctor today about shoulders - MRI came back as perfectly normal, so did the Xray, and told I have type 1 acromion genetics (this is a good thing). So, my shoulder pain is just positional and postural. Mostly superior trap fascial tension.

Workout was pretty good, going to drop out flat bench as I don't like it. Maybe just sticking to high incline pressing and a little bit of strict tension machine pressing. Tricep work today was not good, I had pain at both elbows.
