ThanX brother!! The 12-15 rep range always seems to work best for me on the arms. Sometimes the reps are all over the place though, but 12-15 rep sets are common for me on arm days,especially triceps. With the triceps, part of the reason is that I can hit the stack for 15 reps or more on the pressdowns. Sometimes Ill add some type of plate on the stack to increase the weight, but at the same time I like to keep some strictness and make sure Im not throwing my body into it too much. So I try to make the most out of the stack. Ive been avoiding incline skull crushers lately since I pulled out my back recently throwing up 130lbs just to start the set. I started training this way and it just stuck with me. Lots of low rep sets for arms dont seem to do the same for me. I have alot of muscle endurance and usually need to give muscles a brutal beating to feel it the next day. Though this arm routine was real low energy for me. Took long to complete too. Just dragged it out. ThanX again!

10-10-04 Sunday Upper Chest and Shoulders

Not a bad workout today. This was my first time doing the strict inclines in a while. I was only 1.5 reps off of my best with the 275 and 2.5 reps off with the 315. This bench is always much harder for me, and is why I call them strict inclines. I cant get under the bar nearly as much and it feels somewhat like a military press. Its a good change every once in a while. The pushing was also real deliberate today and very little or maybe no bounce used. Some days my form is stricter other days Ill use some bounce. When Im at my peak, the bounce really doesnt increase my reps by much, and on some days Ill hit PR's without it. Really depends on the day and how my joints feel too. I always control the negatives though. I only had an hour to train and was only able to get in 3 sets of laterals for the shoulders. Also my weight is back and seems to be on the rise. Hopefully the low dose M1T combined with the Nitrix will help. The routine:

(195lbs on gym scale with clothes on after a little water, before meals)

Strict Incline Presses: (on the harder bench)

135x20
225x12
275x9.5
315x2
275x7.5
275x4.5

Cybex Incline Press (plate loaded):

270x17
360x8.5
410x2.5

Shoulders:

Dumbell Laterals:

35x15
30x15
30x15

Gym closed.

Overall, the hand held up quite well. My ankle is a little sore from walking up cardiac hill, but ill live. It will be interesting how closely i can mirror my old workouts with my ankle and hand all fucked up.
