10/6/03 - Shoulders & Traps
Lat pulldowns, 3x10x110
Kelso shrugs, 3x10x110
Unilateral front raises, 4x10x20
Overhead press, 4x10x30
Barbell shrugs:
1x10x135
1x10x225
1x10x275
8x10x311
Overall, it went really well. I did have to give in and use straps (AAAAAH!!) for my last 4 sets of heavy shrugs. First time I've used 'em in a year, but they helped once my grip started to fail.

Glad to see you kick this thread back in bro. A few Q's for ya though.
What are Kelso shrugs?-Ive seen you guys mention these, and forgot to ask about them this weekend.
How long do you rest between singles? and what are these weights(315) based off of? Is that a max single for you?
Have you tried HIGH reps on the shrugs yet?(25-50reps) they are a killer if you havent. Dont know if I will ever go back to heavy 5's on these after trying them.
....And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change your freaky ass avatar!! Ceebs can get away with it cuz she still looks hot, but you................uh, not hardly!
Later..

Spatts says there's a bunch of different kinds of kelso shrugs. Basically, I used the lat pulldown machine with the double rowing handle, leaned back, and shrugged. I'm sure she's got a video, as well as a better explanation.
Rest between single lockouts, or rest between shrugs? I don't rest between shrugs, and it's a very short rest between my lockout singles.
The 315 was based off, well, a desire to go heavy. I have not tried higher reps, but I will give that a shot next week.
I'm working on the avatar...I need inspiration.

10/9/03 - Shirted day
Normal workup. 185 in the shirt feels easier every time. I got done with five sets, and didn't feel the least bit fatigued.
I worked up again after missing 287 last week, and hit 271...a 5lb PR. Jumped to 291, and got it almost locked out. It turned into a static hold at the top, and I just couldn't get it to move anymore. My back cramped up, and I had to hobble around the gym for a few minutes before it loosened up.
I tried 291 again, got it down, heard something pop in the shirt, and had no drive off the chest. I lost tightness, and just had the bar sitting on my stomach, basically.
I did lockouts as well, from a lower position this time, 3 at 221, 3 at 271, 10 at 309, and 3 at 339.
I'm going to force myself to send the shirt back to Karin now to get the sleeves altered. I'm hesitant to do it because it's so close to perfect now, but I can't leave the sleeves slit the way they are, and I know she'll do a good job.
Plus, that'll keep me from working up after every shirted day.

I'm afraid I don't understand the point of doing 185 raw and then doing it in the shirt too for multiple sets. Seems to me you'd want to do a little more in the shirt rather than several easy sets of three that you already demonstrated you could do without the shirt.
