How many pressing movements for shoulders?
Is 1 enough? i usually switch up one pressing move each time seated military/standing/push/DB. But it just feels like it’s not enough and my shoulders are lagging. Should i add another pressing movement to the shoulder routine or would that be too much?
sure. do regular shoulder presses and then maybe some push presses afterwards so you can cheat a little with some leg momentum and finish your shoulders off.
That’s what I do, Military seated DB press then push presses after

I have no clue where to start
Hey guys, this is my first time in F & N.
I’ve got a lot of spare time this summer and could stand to get more in shape. The only problem is I have no clue where to start.
Right now I am 17 y/o, 6′1, and about 175. I’d like to lose some weight, and get bigger. I have a home gym consisting of..
One big machine that has a pull down (lateral?) bar, a thing were you put your arms in and then push them towards eachother in front of you, and a safety bench press.

spinal hyperextension
I was doing kick-ups today, which for reference, is this:
I don’t know how to breakdance, I was just being retarded. Anyway, I guess I was arching my back too much because now, about 6 hours I have pain in my lower thoracic spine. The pain isn’t affect by moving around at all, it’s just a constant, uncomfortable feeling. Does anyone know what kind of injuries I might be looking at here? I hope it goes away soon and doesn’t cause any chronic problems. I’ll go to a doctor if it lasts a couple days.

GOD BODYBUILDING IS SO GAY
Read the rest of this entry » stretching/warm up ritualwhat is your guys ritual at the gym before you start lifting for upperbody and legs ? i remember mainesucks posting a shoulder rehab/warmup video and thats what ive been using, but i was thinking i could include some type of stretching also Depending on how my knees feel I may walk on the tread mill or ride a bike for like 3 min. Pretty sure I just passed my CSCCA certification test.CSCCA=Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association exam Im ecstatic. Someone here was taking the cscs test, how did that go? Overall this one wasn’t too hard. The written exam was easy and the practical wasn’t too bad but was stressfull. Edit: Mad Dog Madden from UT is tough. Of course, when I had to defend my program I had to get his station. Sweet man. Let me know how that goes. Next up I want to take the cscs exam and the usaw one. Ive gotta get some dough saved up first, both exams aren’t cheap. |
