Did 90lbs. for OHP and had to lower it to 80 for the last 5 sets. My shoulders/arms/upper back were bulging...my core was sore from keeping straight. Very humbling. It hurts to type right now. Legs are tomorrow and I haven't done leg work in almost 2 weeks from knee soreness. :dwillhuh:

question:

i almost never feel sore the day after shoulder workouts. i realize soreness isn't a good gauge on ur workout intensity, however, i'm still somewhat concerned about my delts progress

i lift heavy with em, 5-8 reps...but i read somewhere that lowering the weight and increasing the reps is actually better for deltoids mass? can anyone confirm?

What is the gvt I need to get my shoulders to quit laggin

10x10 with 50-60% of your max...your 1RM strength will decrease a little, but the size and striations. :blessed:

Bench Press
Back Rows
OHP/ DB Press
Squats

That's the jist of it. :ehh:

You guys have me ready to get in on the GVT wave. Gonna have to do a baseline day to see what my max is currently on all my lifts this weekend.

Somebody post their full routine? I know it's been said a million times, but I'm lazy
