I finally got my protein replenishment today
Took a damn week to get here. Anywaaaaaayys...so I did chest and arms last night cause the gym was closed on Sunday:doh: I tried out the 5 and 5 program again. Seems I was able to lift a lot more weight but I dont feel as sore as I did when I was doing 3 sets of 8-10
Maybe cause it was the first time doing it? My chest feels spent but I dont feel anything really in my tris. Also I was reading some of those articles Chanc posted and one talked about instead of going down slow and up slow to control the weight down and explode for the positive portion of the rep. I tried this also. Wasnt able to do as much weight in this fashion and I dont feel as spent. I think I'm going to go back to my old methods. AnY tHoUgHtS?

Different muscles.. Fast /slow twitch. I try to mix it up. If you don't feel it in your tri's, that's fine.. Just means you need to build the chest up more and vice versa if you dont feel it in your chest.
Adjusting grip width is a large factor in which muscles are exerted first.
Closer tris, wider chest.

My shoulder is a mess but that's what ego's are for. Man up, rub some dirt on it and walk it off.

Pearson says it also puts too much stress on the acromioclavicular joints (those little knobs on the tops of your shoulders), which can lead to an overuse injury commonly referred to as weight lifter's shoulder.
