The thing with the 4 sets is I start off with a bunch of reps and by the 4th set it's only 6-10 reps max. I used to only do 3 sets but then I thought. If I do one extra set on every exercise, if I put in the work. I will reap the rewards. It will pay off I'll get there that much faster. In the 1980's reading muscle and fitness magazine, it was all about three sets of ten reps. That was it, that's how I worked out for years.

I'm not getting the growth and size like I did in my 20's and 30's on my way to 57 now and growth is a lot slower. It's more definition with a little size gain going on. Plus I don't eat a whole lot like I used to. Between 2000, 2800 cals max.
Started 10 week Test/Mast & Turinabol cycle yesterday. Labs came back at 595 after being on 100 mg test a week for 5 weeks. My buddy does sub q injections. I tried it. I think intermuscular is the way to go. My test is higher with IM than subq. Only did subq for two weeks. Usually my test levels are 800+ So it must be less absorbsion or it doesn't work well with my body. So it's IM for me bro's.
Today was Shoulders and Traps:
Got in there at 6:00 AM.
4 sets Seated military press with cable machine with straight bar attachment until failure.
4 sets cable side lateral raises until failure.
4 sets front lateral cable raises until failure.
4 sets seated reverse flys with cables crossed until failure.
Traps:
4 sets dumbbell shoulder shrugs with hands on sides until failure.
4 sets barbell shoulder shrugs hands in front close grip until failure.
My forearms and grip failed before my traps did. Always happens like that on the last set.
Most of the time I try and get 4 different exercises per muscle. And 4 sets per exercise. Even though the last set is usually just squeezing out a few reps. But I always just do two exercises for traps.

Failure is just when I can't do the full rep. Get stuck half way up, then I stop. Rest a minute and do another set. The 4th set might only be 6 reps. Military presses are only @ 120 lbs.
