Interesting split. I'll look forward to seeing how this works for you. Shoulders and legs on the same day would probably be too much for me unless I split them up a.m./p.m. style. Are you just starting this split or have you been doing it prior to starting this journal? Good luck.

Re: 1st Journal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Actually I have been doing this split for awhile. I do it for several reasons.
One it is the only thing to fit into my schedule and still get 4 good workouts a week.
Two if I only work one body part on a trip to the gym then I feel like I cheated myself.
Three I kinda like working shoulders with Legs.

I have seen pretty good results but if there is a better way to split and still fit into my schedule I am all for it.

The only Problem I am having is for some reason my strength is going down which is on another post all together.

Ok Thursdays Worok out.

This week is a week back in the gym so no super setting or shocking this week. A week off for spring break.

Well today workout started well enough but ended up bad. Hurt my back because my partner collapse and I had to hold up the bar in squat luckly I was done with squats. So I pained my way through the rest of legs and shoulders.

Weak legs due to ankle problems and knee problems

Leg Curls- 100/10 110/10 120/7 120/5

Bad shoulder as well.
Shoulders

Side Lateral- 25/10 25/10 30/10 30/9

All in all a bad day.
Need to go up in Leg extension, calf raises, military press, side laterals, front raises, and Bent over laterals.
Tomorrow start back super setting and real workout if my back can handle it.

If you are hurting in any way, it's okay to take it easy. You don't want to over do it and severly hurt yourself. It looks to me like you put forth a much valient effort my friend. Awesome! Keep up the good work!

Re: 1st Journal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well April 9. Nothing to report except the fact that I took the day off. Back was hurting all night and got very little sleep. So looks like I am going to go back Monday give my back like 3 days to rest and hopefully recover alittle.


Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves ****ation.

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.

Hope you get some good rest on your day off. How's that back feeling? Any better? Hope so. Hopefully that day of downtime was the ticket.
