“If my bones/joints get right”.... I’m 57, my R shoulder has had labrum repair...L shoulder likely needs something...
I don’t mean to hijack your thread, but, what does your routine look like? I’m just getting back into training after raising three kids....I’m starting light with the hopes that I can go heavy, not sure the shoulders will allow.
My questions: what do your workouts look like and what kinds of (general) results are you getting?
As you quoted me I will assume this query is directed at me.
My training is five days per week. Nothing fancy, in and out of the gym in one hour.
Days as follow but not necessarily assigned to a specific day of the week. I train, rather don’t train if I don’t feel into it. Those days rarely apply ATM because I am four weeks away from a show. After that I am more fluid with my choices.
Day 1:
Chest and triceps. I focus on incline because upper chest is where I am or was lacking most.
4-6x Hammer Strength incline
4x D/B incline presses
4x incline or flat D/B flyes. People say they don’t get anything from these but I have yet seen anyone do them correctly.
4x Hammer Strength decline or dip machine focusing on chest.
If I don’t do dip machine I will use:
Bodymaster tricep extension machine. The one with the cambered bar behind your head.
4x press downs either straight, v bar or rope.
Day 2:
Back
6xPull downs. Lately I have been doing medium to narrow, sometimes wide bar.
6x T bar rows or D/B rows. I do them on a bench. This is another exercise I see people doing wrong...almost standing perpendicular.
6x Low cable rows
Day off?
Day 3:
Shoulders
4x Rear delt machine (pec deck) Again, emphasis on rear delt. They are underdeveloped just like most guys.
4x Side sitting on lateral delt machine for rear delts. Hard to explain. I push pad straight back with elbow. Think reverse front raise.
4x Side delt machine heavy
4x Lateral D/b raise or cable. Light weight, focused and up to 20 reps, alternating, straight through. Ridiculous burn.
6x Something for front delts. Military press, Arnold’s, D/B presses, front raises. Any of these.
