Just back, and i'm done in. Motivation was lacking tonight, but i got done what i had to.
reading through and thinking about internal clicking, part of my warm up is just to roll my arms round and my shoulders can make some interesting noises. Something i should be worried about?
the only time i feel any pain is doing arnolds (which i think i'll stop reading this) and heavy seated rows.
Did 21s tonight @ 25, 30, 30 (kg) - some straight cable curls and good old dumbell curls. Meant to stick some preachers in but forgot
Might be just air pockets etc. but I wish I'd gone and got checked out earlier when mine started. Pretty well recovered now but it took years of pain and lack of training and still don't think I'm out of the woods totally (shoulder flexibility is now my main worry).reading through and thinking about internal clicking, part of my warm up is just to roll my arms round and my shoulders can make some interesting noises.

From my physio (who lifts) and reading I would never do Arnold press or close grip upright rows again.
IMO wider grip versions are sfare and better for shoulder development and shrugs, highpulls and deadlift far, far better for traps.
I used to do loads of upright rows - always limited by pain to no more than around 60kg - but never got much trap development out of them, a couple of month of shrugs and ability to work traps with over double that weight and they are noticeably bigger!
Thanks.
Balders, it's been like that for years, the right one is a little worse that the left. There is no clicking when lifting so i think it's OK so long as i keep form right and don't snatch at the weight.
I thought i'd be sore this morning, but i'm not. This annoys me lol. Is it wrong that i want DOMS?

Chest and tri's today. Literally just finished. Beauty of peing a gym instructor, when its quite - train. Alreday posted this workout so wont do it again. Was supposed to abs buts its getting late and i'm tired so they'll get done on the end of tomorrows workout instead.

See what losing the Empire does for you - have to use bloody French measurements.
As you're joshing, probably redundant this but just in case - and not wanting to patronise those of you to young to shave yet (oops!) - for lbs to Kg just divide by 2.2, so for example 320lb = 145.45 Kg.

I've heard that people use lbs so the number is bigger giving the illusion that they are lifting more 
Supposed to be having a rest day today, but time ran away with me the last two days so wasn't able to fit an ab/core training onto the workout where its supposed to be, so today will be a focused ab session. Not sure what i'm going to do yet. Will probably do a mini ab circuit with maybe 5 exercises, no rest and 20 reps for each exercise and go through that 3 times. Usually a bit of a killer. However, I may decide to do more core focused stuff.
Anyone want to throw any killer ab/core exercises that are a bit ab-normal (poor pun intended) at me? Can never know enough ab workouts.

Cant really throw any at you, however looking to up my core training myself, on top of the norm i usually throw in some knees up bench press exercises however would love to know a few more.Supposed to be having a rest day today, but time ran away with me the last two days so wasn't able to fit an ab/core training onto the workout where its supposed to be, so today will be a focused ab session.
