Ouch that sucks. Pretty much killed your shit right there... Hope it heals quick!

260lb for 50 reps on leg extensions....that is just rediculous! I wonder what you could get for one rep (if they ever make a machine capable of such a task...)

Im not sure. I have that problem with most all the machines now, except some hammer strength. My sets have become mainly higher rep sets. It goes against convention to grow with high reps, but its been working for me. Also do low rep as well. So I get that complete range of reps. I think high rep works for me because its alot of weight still, and the intensity is extreme.

KEEP KILLIN THAT SHIT!!

6-19-09 Friday Upper Chest

Another low volume SHIT KILLING day. My shoulder is still strained so I just did some key sets to set records and left the gym.

Was good to hit 405 (4 plates per side) on smith machine and destroy 315 and 365 for reps. Its not freeweight but its still progress, and my next favorite thing to freeweight inclines.
:

(206 lbs after shake and water)

Smith Machine Incline Press: (did this instead to minimize shoulder strain, stoppers are set about an inch above chest, and weight is often banged hard off of those.)

135x20 (warm)
225x43 1/2 (PR)
315x16 (PR)
365X5
385X 1 1/2 (PR maybe)
405x1 (PR)
365x8 (PR)
315x12

Stopped to avoid anymore shoulder strain

Im always injured, so thats just part of the routine. I just work training around the strains and ruptured disks.

My shoulder should still be in a good deal of pain today, as I train flat bench, but ill try to hit atleast my 3 main sets with 225,275, and 315 for some records. Atleast then , it allows me to not only maintain, but progress the next week.

Lookin strong yourself!!

KEEP KILLIN IT!

Appreciate it!!

Yea, this is my recovery. Lower volume and sometimes "light"

Low volume for me is not too low by regular standards, but its maybe only a third or half of my regular routine.

Atleast I get in the main sets on these days. Ive been hitting records every week it seems, for many months straight. Im not sure how long its been since I had a week without PR's. Alot of this is because I was getting back to where I was previously though too. Now I am starting to enter new territory size and strength wise, in some areas.

KEEP KILLIN IT YOURSELF!!
