Re: Re: Re: Week 4 - Calorie Intake

apparently it is high in rum and cake. two elements a serious bodybuilder should never be without.

You really just have to experience Bigguns15's rumcake to know what we're talking about. One a day would get my calories up, right?

Workout 1 - 9/4/03 (Week 5)

I had one of those days where my body just didn't want to keep up. Today's workout was a struggle.

Thanks! Every once in awhile, my shoulders get super tight and I lose some speed in my workouts. I think it actually stems from inflammation of both biceps tendons up near the shoulder. They get tight and it almost stings when stretching. Hard to explain, but yesterday was one of those days. I need to get back to stretching my shoulders and chest regularly. I'm generally alot more explosive than what's in those vids.

You could always try holding two dumbbells in each hand.

Nice workout. Was it hard to get your arms back down by your sides after all that lat and tricep work?
