13/9/2011 Back, Shoulders Hypertrophy
I had a pretty bad workout. I was trying this new workout where I do not go to failure. I stop about 2 reps before failure & this workout has no supersets. I don't think I did it properly. I felt like I was just warming up for an hour straight. I think I need to change the rest periods or just go a lot heavier. After training to failure for years this is weird! ![]()

I separated my shoulder (AC joint) last night front squating 275 lbs. They believe it is a low grade injury. I currently have dull pain at the AC joint when I walk (arms swing backwards) or I hold things. A minor setback but still frustrating.
I've come to realize that the few times I get injured are always when I am attempting to lift very heavy. I don't think I can do heavy (1RM-like) lifts any more.

Weight: Stuck around 178-180lbs. Split: Legs, Back, Bi/Tri, Chest, Shoulders, repeat. Calves/Abs every other day. I'm trying out cissus for the first time on Gabe's recommendation. I've got Primaforce's bulk powder. I'm currently 4 days into it taking 3 grams per day. I have not noticed much change in joint pain yet. More updates coming. Even though my weight hasn't been going up I'm getting more defined it looks like. ![]()
