sucks about ur shoulder man, u still put up some great numbers and really did ur best with the situation.

i have had problems with mine before. what i recommend u do is massage it before and after every workout, also remember to do lots of rotator cuff warmups before u start hitting the weights, and dont forget stretching.

if it doesent get better u should c a doctor about it...

thanks for stopping by the log brother....i hurt it a couple months ago, but it was the kind of injury where i didn't even know that i did it until the next chest day when it hurt on flat bench.......

 

[BigBen]

dang bro! Still a good session! Get control over these pains and injuries u can do this no doubt! Be an intellegent lifter as well as a strong one. U got this man!

God Bless
Ben

 

[onebigeric]

Definitely seek a professional opinion on this, Turkish. Pain like that could be the beginning of a tear; most of us don't find out until something gives. Excellent work despite it, but I hope you'll get it checked al the same.

 

[Turkish1530]

thanks for the support and advice Big Eric and Big Ben......i have a whole week until next chest day so i'm gonna let it rest up, stretch it real good all during the week and hit the chiropractor and get sum kind of therapy on it

 

[Turkish1530]

I've really been considering a new training routine (i'm actually meeting w/ a buddy/trainer tom. to see what he thinks).......i've been doing my current training routine for around 3 months and think mayb it's time to try something different........i was thinking about training my legs, back, shoulders and chest twice a week (i feel that my arms are well developed, and once a week should suit them fine)......i am willing to hit the gym twice a day, but if i don't have to i'd rather not......i want 2 seperate workouts for each muscle in a week as well................I know it seems very confusing, but If ne 1 can 1st tell me what you think about it and/or gimme sum help i'd greatly greatly appreciate it, thanx

If you've been hitting it hard for the past several months it is probably time to give your body a rest. With all the aches and pains it may be wise to only do one or two exercises per body part for 2-3 weeks. You won't be completely shutting down but you will be giving your body a much needed break.

 

[Rageking]

new routine sounds good, try to take week off then switch, i think that should be good to rest up and get ready for switch. maybe dont stretch either if it is a small tear that could make it worse.

 

[Flex]

I agree with Wolf.

Maybe you should switch to an upper body/lower body routine until the end of the summer. I think you're getting worn out from the high volume which is why I lowered mine as soon as I got home from school. Go easy on each bodypart (1 or 2 exercises) and stick to incline motions rather than flat bench.

 

[Rocky]

Still immense weight you're lifting in spite of your injuries and pain. I agree with the others and hope you do lighten up a little to give yourself a chance to recover, although if youre anything like me it's tough to drop back!
Take care buddy.

 

[Turkish1530]

hey ppl.....i haven't posted my log in a couple days....i drove 4 hours to meet w/ my old trainer and i stayed with him/trained w/ him a couple of days.....i didn't write down my training but i'm going to start back up on monday after a couple days off......

 

[Turkish1530]

thanks for all the support from everyone

 

[Bulkboy]

^^sounds awesome man have u decided for a new training split?

^^sounds awesome man have u decided for a new training split?

thanks brother.......yes sir i've figured out a new training split i'm gonna give it a try for mayb 4-6 weeks.....here it is:

Monday: Heavy Leg Day (Max-OT style) (1st time ever trying max-ot hope it works.....)
Tuesday: Chest and Back-> thickness (Max-OT style)
Wednesday: Shoulders and Arms (Max-OT style)
Thursday: Legs (focusing more on lower movements and outer sweep)
Friday: Chest and Back -->(width)
Saturday: Shoulders and Arms
Sunday: Off

I'm excited for this new routine, that's why i figured to give myself a few days off to let my body have a rest.....my trainer didn't really think hitting each muscle twice a week was necessary, especially w/ Max-OT but i want to give it a try for 4-6 weeks.........

 

[Turkish1530]

gimme sum insight on how everyone feels about my new training split, thanks

 

[Bulkboy]

the split looks good man, but arent u worried ur doing a little to much? i mean ur a natty and ur gonna do max ot with everything twice a week? i would just try once a week first but give it a try and if u feel ur overtraining just get back into a new one

well i'm actually only doing max-ot once a week for each muscle and the second time i train the muscle that week i'm doing completley different exercises w/ 7-12 reps but obviously i still need to make sure i'm not overtraining, i'll keep you updated brother
