MILITARY PRESS- MAX GROWTH CLUSTERS @155-- and 105

Superset #1 Multi-Press Complex just the bar= torture
The 6 exercises, done without any rest, are:

Barbell Cuban Press
B. Behind the Neck Press, Snatch Grip (seated)
C. Behind the Neck Press, Clean Grip (seated)

The goal is to do 5 reps for each exercise

Superset #2 Dumbbell Press Multi-ROM @20

A. Bus Driver 6-8 reps per side- PLATE IS STEERING WHEEL IN FRONT OF FACE
B. Front Raise dumbbells about 1-inch inside shoulder-width, 6 reps-THE FOLLOWING CAN BE DONE WITH A BAR
C. Front Raise index finger in line with outside edge of deltoid, 6 reps
D. Front Raise wide grip, 3-4" wider than shoulder width, 6 reps
We’re shooting for 6-8 reps per side for the bus driver exercises and about 6 reps for each of the three grips on the front raise, but really the goal is to fatigue and to pump up the muscles as much as possible. If that goal is accomplished, it doesn’t matter if you did 5 or 10 reps per position.

My shoulders have never been so sore-- never

i am tired and stiff
my quads are really stiff–
im goin to ohio next couple days to pick up my kid from school.
guess ill just have some neural charge or something

Good to hear from ya. Yeah, aside from tax season, i never stopped. I just stopped posting. I actually got pretty strong in shoulder press last year, and got bigger. Now, I have kept much of the muscle, but have gotten pretty fat. So, i’m trying to build up my strenth and lose some fat. So far, it’s been ok. I’m trimming down some, my muscles are getting firmer. So, I guess thats a good thing.
I also stopped posting too much when Ct stopped answering my questions. It was kinda funny. I wasnt posting my workouts, but I was training. Anyway, when I asked him some questions, he wouldn’t answer. I began to think it was because he though I wasnt training or something. Whatever. Then we broke each other’s chops with the “Thank you” post. And that was it.
Now, I’m just doing my thing with this program. I like it so far.
Anyhow… gotta run… see ya later
