JT190's Training Log

[Mulligan]

That's interesting rocco. Here's the reason I do it. When training chest, shoulders tend to get hit pretty hard, so I can't hit shoulders as a muscle group until 3 days later. My joints hurt 2-3 days after doing chest or shoulders, so when I seperate them and do them on different days, I have shoulder pain roughly 7 days a week. By combining chest and shoulders, I hit them once a week which I feel is easier on the joints, b/c after chest, the joints are already warmed up and ready to be pounded. No sense in hitting them twice a week. And I don't think 3 sets of shoulder presses will affect my CNS too much.

I'm training for 50% bodybuilding and 50% power

You know. I talked with a guy at the GYM on tues and he was doing chest and then doing some front, side raises and Shrugs in between sets. he said it helps himk stretch and Bench More.

Can't say I approve of the muscle group combo but I'minto the ab work. Bilol crawford says you need very strong abs that are rock hard when you bench. I'm going to start adding abs.

I truely believe weighted abs increased my deadlift a ton.

If you want to try something new and BTW your logic makes sense. Try doing shoulders for 6 weeks as your main press and just chest assistance and then go to bench work for 6 weeks and no poreses just assistance work.

Thanks, I might try that. Do you know of anyone who's had success with that approach?

Sorry I haven't been on much lately guys, i've got some ef'n spyware on my PC that will not go away and it's really acting up. It's my work PC and I may end up having to send it in to be worked on. I apologize if I haven't posted in your journal lately. I should be back in full force next week PR's coming up shortly Time for some Mr. Nasty JT Time with the wifey

I've had great success doing shoulders and chest on the same day, both presses and isolation movements. I also hit both musclegroups twice a week.

Nice work. You are getting really strong. Thought about doing 315 for a double to feel it and so you know you got it?

BF looking great jt.

 

[rookie03]

^^^^agreed!!! bang them three plates out, its just a mental thing!

 

[luquillo78]

Nice workout jt! great #s

 

[SteelSouth]

Thanks rook and Luquillo.

I think I may try for two sets of 2-3 reps with 3 plates next week. Sounds like a plan. I'm starting to see some results from the low volume work even with the reduced calories.

 

[Winter]

I want to see 315 on bench soon!
