why not allowing weaker limb to dictate reps per set and total reps? my impression has always been that it's better to use the weaker limb as the equalizer, to prevent exacerbation of the imbalance.

10/14/2012

BW = 173
SORENESS = back
ACHES/INJURIES = back (low/mid/lats) = tight/fatigued
FATIGUE = low

SESSION:

S1: single arm DB overhead press: 50 lb @ (R=12,L=5), (R=12,L=7), 40 lb @ (R=20,L=12)
S1: SSBAR deep squat: worked up to 205 x 5
S1: Chinups: BW @ 3 x 8

2: single arm DB hammer curl: 30 lb @ (R=12,L=15), (R=10,L=12)
3: single arm DB curl: 30 lb @ (R=15,L=16)

4: dead hang pullup holds, twist, etc.. to loosen up my back/lats

done


happy about the 50 lb single arm o.h.p

was going to try 70 lb db bench but said F it, i might do it on tuesday.

peace!

Here's my two cents with regards to the imbalance overhead pressing. You might have some weakness in the smaller muscles that keep the shoulder socket intact. If they're working in overdrive to keep the integrity of the socket while pressing, you're probably gonna see a drop off in strength in that shoulder. I don't know specific anatomy stuff for the shoulder to know what muscles would be causing that so obviously can't help you there. But could be something to look into if you really care about getting even strength in your shoulders.

right i need to do more direct shoulder work, for sure.

nothing i do is going to catch it up completely to my right though, it's more of a motor learning issue over years and years.. right will always be stronger, sure it could catch up a bit more though.





right hip bugging me a bit tonight.. tweaked it doing something completely unrelated to training/athletics/etc.. just stepping around something all weird, felt the muscle (tfl or something) spaz out real quick.

BW = 175
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right hip via the dumbest shit, not from training
FATIGUE = crazy low

SESSION: quick

S1: neutral grip pullups: BW @ 3 x 8
S1: SSBAR deep squat: 125 @ 3 x 20
S1: single arm DB bench press: 50 lb @ W, 60 lb @ (R=15,L=10), (R=14,L=10)

2: single arm DB curl: 40 lb @ (R=9,L=10)




stupid hip crap.. so annoying, tfl just spazzed now it's all achy.

lifts felt great, 20 rep squats felt great, didnt bug me as i did them.

Huh!?

From your "normal" 150 lbs? What happened to reversehypetrophy?

god damn it, raptor, when will you learn to read the goddamn log before asking questions that are answered IN THE LOG.

^Guilty as charged!!! 
Most of the times the answer is in the same page , a few posts above.
Many other times you ask something you have asked again.

Not that this will make you change, just saying... 

Now now, don't remind me the time you posted what I posted a few posts above.

LOL, a glorious moment indeed , well played!
Still can't even compare to your numerous and spectacular reading-the-log-before-you-reply fails , you are the rightful and undoubted king of the forum at that!
