DC Question

[from zero]

Deal with it. It's inevitable. My shoulders are tired as fuck after chest. I would normally be pressing SOOO much more than I do, but, whatever. I'm still getting stronger, so I don't care.

Last night was my first DC workout in awhile, and I had forgotten the one thing that bothered me about the split used. Having to work chest, then shoulders, then triceps has the latter two muscles quite fatigued by the time I get to doing the exercises for them, making me feel like I'm not putting in 100%. Though, chest exercises hit the shoulders and triceps anyway, I just want to know if every other DC'er out there notices either their shoulders and/or triceps being fatigued once reaching them in your workout.

Should I do anything about this, or just deal?

Still get stronger... and bigger too?

You bet.

I did too, Legion

At first (early March), I grant you, I was not happy that I'd be doing military presses while tired from chest presses. I also didn't like having my triceps quite so zonked out. My previous split had me training shoulders fresh.

Anyway, I'm so much stronger in the shoulders and triceps that it's ridiculous. I stacked out one shoulder press machine and a triceps ext. machine too. And I'm going to have to forget about doing overhead DB extensions pretty soon...I've only done them once thus far, but our gym only goes up to 120 lb. 'bells...that isn't going to be NEAR enough.

At first you might have to reduce your poundages for delts and tris just a bit, but before long you'll be stronger than ever. Hit those stretches and try to do 3 different movements/bodypart if you can (were you having trouble doing this? I'm sorry brother man...I can't remember, in my old age ), and you will be TOTALLY set free.

Whats cool tho is when you reach the weights for shoulders and tri's that you used to do fresh, then you know you are making massive progress!

Guldukat - yeah, I was having trouble with it. My friend's dad's a carpenter, we're gonna see if we can rig up a homemade stand for doing dips, since I'm too poor to go buy one right now.

Well, since you guys had the same problems as me with the triceps being blasted after reaching them in the workout, guess there's nuttin' wrong with it.

Just can't wait to start growing. So much food I feel nauseous. I'm gonna throw a little bit of cardio or some sport in the mix so I build up a bit of an appetite.
