Time to add in some conditioning back in along with cleaning up my eating some what.
The conditioning I understand, but the eating thing will have to wait until after New Yearsā¦
i hear you about the shoulder, i screwed mine up and my routine hasnt been the same since, cant lift as much as i use to, im maxing out about 165 lbs on the bench, anything more my shoulder kills me the next day, i rather stay at 150 and do more reps for definition, plus whenever i add more weight, the stretch marks look like a pregnant womenās stomach, size is great but i think everyone wants to define or tone upā¦keep it up bro, shoulder issueās suck been dealing with it for years, and it still popās out every now & again and hurts like hell to et it back in, and then sore for multiple days, everyoneās body is differentā¦know this guy down the street, 6ā2" never worked out in his life, and just ripped and he isnt skinny at all, genetics plays a huge part

a few things to warm up the shouldersā¦
Seated behind the neck press:Bunch of warm up sets
140 x 5
155 x 3
170 x 5ā¦went slightly over what I had planned but not by much easily could have done 10
Swiss Bar close Grip Bench: 3 x 8 x 220ā¦ Not heavy but enough to work the tris at this point
pulldowns: 5 x 8 @ SWā¦interesting notice my shoulder wasnāt liking these switched to a under hand grip 1/2 way through. seemed to solved the issue.
Swiss bar Hammer curls : 3 x 10 @ SW
Bent over Flyes: 2 x 20 @ SW
Shoulder horn: 1 x 15 @ SW ā¦ starting to think I might have jumped back into these too hard
Just the truth when it comes to the G word, lol, you do any particular exercises to loosen your shoulder up b4 lifting ??

Shoulder warm up drillā¦
Bench: Bunch of warm up sets
280 x 5
315 x 3
350 x 6 ā¦HOLY SHIT I had a rep or two in me BUT they would probably be grinders which im trying to avoidā¦ considering that I felt like garbage beforehand I pretty damn happy I pretty much ignored my pre cap i had setā¦need to stop doing that 
because im going to end up overdoing it and jacking myself up again.
Going into the last set I was in a mood and what I call having a āMean onā going. By chance Dakota was in the garage with me with his I pod in tow. Had him video my last setā¦
@kpsnap you mentioned you like my videos this ones is for you !
Buffalo Bar Bench: 3 x 5 @ 240 all paused reps for a 1 or 2 count
Incline DB rows : 5 x 8 @ SW
Extra crap
Swiss Bar Hammer curls : 3 x 8 - 10 @ SW
Push Downs: 3 x 10 - 12 @ SW
Band pull aparts: 3 x 30 ā¦Doggy style
I decided not to do the shoulder hornā¦giving the rotator cuff a slight break to let it cool off since im noticing some irritation in the area.
Merry Christmas to all at the dog pound!
Strong benching! Merry Christmas to you and your family Bulldog.
