Body By Tweakle - a cutting journal.

Do you plan on working out this weekend or are you really going to lay low? Good luck with the shoulder. Oh and maybe get a pint of Ben and Jerry's and rent Steel Magnolias.

sick and my shoulder hurts.. gonna spend this weekend in bed feeling sorry for myself.

incline smith 365 x 5,4, 405 x 2 (assist on last one)

I'm replacing the free incline with this to give my stablisers a break.. went too heavy and my elbows locked up on the last rep - 2 sets of 4-6 followed by a 10-12'er next time.

hammer row 6 plates/side x 12, 7 plates/side x 6, 8 plates/side x 6 (very sketchy reps)

I stuck a balance bar through the middle of the weight horns to add more plates onto the machine, a health & safety nightmare no doubt as a 4' long metal rod was whipping around the machine.

My shoulder started to really hurt about here

hammer incline 2 plates/side 3 x 10 backdown
pullups 1 x 8, pulldowns 130 x 12 backdown

just some gentle work to finish off.. I just couldnt focus on bringing it for the last 2 exercises so I figured instead of risking an injury I'd treat it as a deload day

Hey you big baby quit your winning and suck it up


Also very light DB cleans seem to be helping my shoulder just a thought

I'm doing some rotator work but the problem is apparently my AC joint is a little deformed, so it catches sometimes ... add shitty shoulders to the shopping list of inadequacy

Decline, wanted 425 for a triple so badly but my usual spotter wasn't in the gym. After wasting 30 mins looking for a suitable candiate I gave up and took the biggest guy there (which wasnt saying much)

425 x 2 + 1 'grab and pull' assist rep

next time

decided to take it to the smith for this week only

455 x 2, 405 x 6

Hammer incline 3 plates/side x 10, 4 pps x 2 (too much after the other work)

seated shoulder press - not good.

all in all a pretty bad workout, next week needs to be better

Dan John had a recent article on t-fag where he said for every one good workout, you can expect 4 mediocre/bad ones. It's the nature of the beast, I s'pose. Next week will be better.

Exactly, I always say you need the bad workouts in order to appreciate the doog ones.....BUT, if you were using Amplify02, then you would never have bad workouts, lol.

It was 40+ outside today and the humidity was just killing me.. I hate summer in Ontario with a passion

Bench, 385 x 2 (couldn't dial it in), pause bench 315 x 5, 365 x 2 - working on explosion off the chest with a pause to deload.

Bent rows - reseting on each rep and trying to keep my torso parallel

225 x 10, 275 x 4,4, 225 x 6

my left glute was in exquisite agony on the last rep of each set.. the problem is I have literally no elastic in my glutes now so it's almost impossible to maintain a tight arch when bent at the waist - my body does whatever it can to take the tension off the glute which is a real pisser. Gotta suck up the pain and start stretching again I guess

Seated rack press, pause on pins, chin level 225 x 6, 275 x 1 (no pause, from top), 225 x 5

parallel grip pullups 17 r-p

so so workout, took waaay too long and was brutally hot. On the plus side there were lots of little shorts & skimpy tops in the gym which is always nice.

 

[Protobuilder]

Having a bum bum is bad news. I take my healthy bum for granted I guess. LoL But I could see how that would interfere w/ damn near everything unless you go to a ton of isolation exercises.

What's the long-term prognosis? Is it going to get better?

 

[TylerT]

I wanna ask the same question as protobuilder, will it get better, and how did you do it originally?
