Depends on what you want to accomplish, Greg. If your goal is to add size to a particular muscle, at the point where you take the stress off that muscle and put it on another muiscle or tendon or ligament, the added "range of motion" actually can do you a disservice.

Hey man, I just want to get stronger.
:-) Preferably without adding much size.
Anyway, back in the gym for about two months, just now getting back to my previous weights. Squats, standing overhead press and hang cleans this morning. Doc tells me no more deads as they compress my spine too much.
:-) Have to see how we do after a few months of treatment.

After eating cookies,chips and soda this weekend, I had to burn some **** off. Had a great chest day and we ended up doing some xfit crap at the end of our workout. That was not fun but felt pretty damn good afterwards
To end the workout we did:
Farmers walk - 100lb db 20 yards 6x
Dead lifts > bent over row > power cleans > squat jumps 5x5

Back day today, still burning off the SoCal moonshine and cookies.
Bent over rows to 325

Almost left after the pullups, I was toast, but went the extra mile and felt good.

First day of PT for my shoulder. I got to use the little baby pink DB for one routine
:-) it was a 1 or 2 pound DB. Was a good 45 minutes of PT and hope this will help the end result, so we don't have to do plan B.
Adriftpanda 08:47 PM 07-16-2013
Hope not either, Jay.

Hoping for Plan A to work, Jay.

Shoulders for me too, I went heavy for sets of 4 on the military lifts, then repped it out on shrugs. Keeping it simple for the first cycle after vacation.
Adriftpanda 08:10 PM 07-17-2013
Are we back on the same cycle? Lol

I did quads and glutes today. Boy was it a killer training session.
Squats 6x8
Deads 4x8
DB lunges 40 yards 4x
Leg curls > leg extentions 3x10 (drop sets)
boy, am I going to feel this tomorrow.
GreekGodX 05:48 PM 07-18-2013
Huy interested in a more challenging leg day? Keep reading.
Forget the extensions. Move leg curls to the beginning. Do your drop set and then add a set of 25 partial reps from the bottom. This will get lots of blood in your legs. Then do Squats, Lunges, deadlifts.
Adriftpanda 05:52 PM 07-18-2013
Sounds fun, I'll give it try next week.

Chest and tris today, suprisingly strong on tris after the heavy chest workout.
Off day manana, then hit it hard before the LCdA Herf Saturday.
Adriftpanda 03:05 PM 07-20-2013
Core day yesterday. A could chest and back exercises as well, not too much.
