Yeh, I feel pullups in my shoulders as much as my back :s

You're doing it wrong then, you should feel it most in your lats.

na lol i doubt u actually feel it in ur lats.... even though ur right thats the main focus of the exercise.

most people feel it most in bi's.

I think going up quickly, and going down slowly makes my lats burn, otherwise i feel it in my forearms

Lol will everyone stop telling me I'm doing pullups wrong.  I KNOW HOW TO PULLUP!

Edit: only explanation for me feeling it in the shoulders is that I have very rounded shoulders.  I don't have paticularly weak shoulders, but yep, as long as I carryon feeling it in my shoulders im going to carry on doing them on s houlder day.  I probbaly will drop it further back int he workout though, doing it as first exercise probbably doesnt make sense.

lol mate u didnt put anything back on the following morning. food and water weight. i weigh half a stone more b4 bed. the reason u lose so much overnight is because u sweat, u breathe, and u piss, and possible shit in the morning. breathing alone will make u lose about 3 pounds. breathe on the back of ur hand then rub it with the other, know wat i mean?

not sure reevesy, but thats what the doctor said, and i'm not gonna run the risk when it comes to my penis.

Mmmm yeh tom,

with one arm rows, the heaviest dumbell at the gym which i go for my back workout (other gym doesnt have a good area for deadlifting so i have to go this one) is 30kg, so pyramidding would be kinda pointless in a way.

Seated pull back I will probably try to half pyramid next week.  Not sure about for cable curl :s...maybe.

if u could do 6 with 30s but not one on 32 that indicates to me that your first rep of every set is the hardest, which means you dont lower the dbs all the way.

Yes, it is always the hardest, If i could have done oen rep at 32, i probably could have done three or four.

I don't know if it has something to do with the shape of my shoulders (very rounded), but I lower the DB's until i feel a slight stretch before pushing back up, I wouldn't really want to lower them much lower.

Saturdays - Legs (not really) + shouders

Squat:

65kg*12

75kg*10

85kg*8

96kg*6 Ready for 100kg next week.

At this point i left the iron gym, walk up to the room where most of the machinery is, when I find the gym is closed cos some shitty gig is going on.  So I can't do any of my usual leg exercises, so I leave my legs at that.

Shoulders I do my normal routine, alot of the weights didnt have numbers on them, so i wasnt sure how much i was lifting.  But I assume it would be the same or slightly more as the previous week.

Saturday Backs and biceps:

I slept over my girlfriends and got like 4 hours sleep, 4 hours uncomfortable sleep, cos i slept on the floor.  Had a shit breakfast as well.

DL:

95*12 - As soon as I started lifting I felt really uncomfortable, something wasn't right, carried on anyway

110*10 - Kid took the 2.5kg's.

120*3 Just felt really really like something was grinding, I dont undestand why.  Anyways, my back feels fucked today.

Wide grip pull up:

BW + 8kg*8 - 8kg is too much really, atleast when i feel so fatigued it is

BW + 8kg*6

BW + 8kg*5

Seated pull back machine

11*12

12*10

13*7

13*6

Kneeling one arm DB Row:

30kg*12

30kg*12

30kg*12

Barbell curl:

30kg*8  Lost all interest in the workout, I'm going to change my split to be chest/biceps, back/triceps.  My biceps are always too fatigued after doing back.

Won't be dling or squatting for a couple of weeks i dont think.  Gonna put in t bar row instead of my back can handle it.
