Appreciate it

Shitty session in the vids but atleast gives an idea

KILLLLL THAT SHIT!!

[Walking Beast]

I'm not hating. But whatever those vids were they weren't bench presses in my mind. Impressive yes. Could I do anything close to what you did even using your form/style? Hell no I couldn't so it's oddly impressive. You are a sick dude man. Stop doing heavy ass side laterals...fuck no wonder your shoulders are gone

Appreciate that shit

Yea that was a real off day. Lately legs have been tucked under the bench for more stability. Less crazy looking form. And sometimes I keep the reps slow and very deliberate now. Changing things up.

Not sure how else to train my delts directly. Any ideas? Problem is my elbows are fucked up now, and wrists. So for pressing ive just kept it with chest work. Shoulder presses seem to stress my elbows more for some reason. Maybe some dumbbell upright rows or some shit. Dont have too many ideas at this point. Im very limited.

Appreciate that shit

It works out pretty well. By the time I finish back Im basically done with shoulders. Since I do most of my shoulder sets during the rest time between back sets. Keeps a good pump as well throughout the whole routine. I often do the same thing on chest days lately. Hitting shoulders twice a week. But only train about 3 days a week now. To give joints alot of rest.

My split now is usually


day 1:

chest, shoulders/traps, biceps,triceps

day 2: (usually 2 to 3 days later)

Back, shoulders/traps

Day 3:

Legs


First day is one of the longer sessions but rarely do I finish any session in under 3 hours. So they are not that short. Just in comparison to my old routines

My exercise selection is limited as hell now. One exercise for triceps. Two exercises for back. For chest maybe 2-4 exercises. Biceps maybe 3 exercises. Legs only one compound movement (leg press). My hamstrings are pretty much so tight I can hardly do shit with them, though I try.

However. Havent been on any AAS since late july. And have been gaining some of my size back just on meals. Arms are back to around 18 1/2. Which isnt too far off from where I was at 19 inches. So progress seems good on this new routine. Just kill the shit, rest and eat. More bodybuilding style, but is probably more effective then my ballistic methods. That has always been my vent and entertainment. To completely anihilate myself in the gym but now I have to train more for size.

KILL THAT SHIT

[ZyklonB]

i like it...might wanna give that a go next time around when I do back/delts.

3hrs is long...got me beat....1.5 hrs tops for me.

3 hours is a bare minimum for me. Often over 4+. Thats reduced from sessions in the past that were 5-8 hours long. Very long rest periods and massive volume, all sets to failure and very heavy. Im changing things up now though. The time in the gym doesnt matter. Its all about the damage you inflict. I just was obsessed with running myself into the ground. Complete fucking anihilation was all that satisfied.

KILL THAT SHIT

[ZyklonB]

that's just a shitload of time...do you ever feel thats overtraining? how exactly do you fit that into a work schedule? If I was lifting that much considering I work 8-6 including commute, I'd have to lift at night

[Billy Blackwell]

5-8 hours holy fuck. I'd do it though if it was guaranteed to work for me
