I was curious about that. Great job. Did those four plates look good? That is a nice PR.

 

[SteelSouth]

Yeah it did feel good, I love the look of 4 plates and can't wait to see five.

My split got rearranged b/c I missed back last week so I had to hit shoulders with chest. My triceps and shoulders were taxed by the time I got around to DB presses but I had a good pump going. I also added more ab work to increase my core strength.

good work jt. how do you like doing incline before bench?

 

[SteelSouth]

Thanks tman. I like to alternate each week between flat and incline. I normally go to DB work after the compound excercise, but I wanted to hit some flat BB work today. It felt better than the DB's actually. Also, heavy incline work feels much better on my shoulders than flat.

 

[mister69]

nice workout....great #'s as usual

 

[adidamps2]

nice work JT..i'm sure the ol' delt's were pumped to hell after that.

Yes they were, I woke up this morning and can already feel it.

[Winter]

You'll get those squats up next week. Good work though.

 

[mister69]

nice squats, and i am sure those lunges hurt

 

[SteelSouth]

Yeah, they were burnin' big time. For some reason, leg presses feel like they put a lot of stress on my knees? Any ideas anyone?

 

[tman55]

good work jt. progress is funny sometimes. just go in there and kick it in the ass and it will move. the bar that is.

i don't enjoy lunges.

 

[Winter]

For some reason, leg presses feel like they put a lot of stress on my knees?

I dunno, I find them to be less stressful on my knees than squats. Are you locking out after every rep? If so, try not to.
