9/27/03 Testing my shoulders

My shoulders had been bugging me a bit so I've been resting chest. However, this past weekend I decided to see how it feels and if I'm ready to start training again.

Chest
Bench Presses 225 x 5, 275 x 5, 315 x 5
DB Bench Presses 90 x 5, 100 x 5

They were a little tight following this short workout, but I'm feeling fine today and I think I'm ready to start training chest again.

good, im looking to see some good things from you, have you ordered your karin's double denim yet???

Not yet, but soon. It's in the back of my mind. I'll try to get it ordered soon but I want to give myself just a little more time to put on some additional size. I will not be using it until my December training cycle when I put all my focus into a bench only meet.

End of this training cycle

I was unmotivated and did a poor job with my diet for the last 2 weeks. Although I did not bother to record kcals, pro, fat, and carbs, I did make it up to 245 pounds! I went from 223 to 245 in this training cycle. I'm ready to change things up a bit and I've decided to give the 5 x 5 method a whirl for a few weeks. After that, it'll be time to focus on bench training and get my numbers up.

Thanks to everyone who encouraged my training. I'm looking forward to my next training cycle. My motivation is back! I'll post up my measurements this weekend.

You're more than welcome to come up any weekend that you want to.

You just have to promise to bring bigguns with you.

I'm much bigger in person, right? Seems to be the common response nowadays.

New Split - Leaning towards 5 x 5

5 x 5 for the most part. Chest will differ in the fact that I'll be including board presses and pin presses during that workout in preparation for my next training cycle.

Monday
Chest
Triceps
Shoulders

Tuesday
Off

Wednesday
Legs

Thursday
Back
Biceps

Friday
Traps
Neck
Rotator Cuff
Forearms

I'll also perform calves 2-3 days/week and 1 intense ab workout/week. I plan on staying with this split for a few weeks. I think it'll allow my body to get accostumed to a little heavier weight with the sets of 5. Since I'm only performed each bodypart once/week, I hope that many off my nagging injuries will not occur.

Not likely. I've debated trying rack lockouts to see how my back can handle it.
