Hey I was just wondering why you do so many reps to start. Overall good workout.

No Matter How Much You Succeed, Never Stop Striving.

I train in the 25-30 reps range on the first set becuz
it really works for me,i'm having really great pecs gains doing that

becuz if I were training in the 4-10 reps range I could injure myself cuz the weights would be so heavy...and I have a bad shoulder

becuz when training in the 25-30 reps range you don't need to warmup

becuz I wannabe a wrestler and almost everyone weigths max 260 pounds...so I don't need to lift more than that,I prefer doing 260 pounds really easy...I wanna life 260 pounds for 20 reps in 2-3 years

and a lot of other reasons

...that's just the way I train

Have you ever thought that maybe your shoulder hurts because you are doing too much bench press work and as a result you are putting a great deal of stress on your rotator cuff?

ya...but this time it's not a rotator cuff injury,it's the front part of the delt that hurts,but i've have a little rotator cuff injury a onth ago.

what do u suggest ?
should I do less sets for a while ? or just do dips for a while ?

You are not going to like my answer.  Your shoulder (delt and rotator cuff) needs to rest.  I would put no stress on it for a couple of weeks.  Then, if it doesn't hurt, start up again EASY.
 
Here's the problem: once you injure a shoulder, all you can do is make it worse if you keep stressing it with heavy weights.  Even dips are heavy, since you are lifting the weight of your body.
 
If you let it go without rest, the injury will get worse and you will wind up in constant pain and might need to have it scoped, or even operated on to repair the damage.  And then you will be out of action for six months.
 
Unfortunately, a lifter's favorite exercise and the one they measure their strength by is the bench press.  And it's the one that hurts the shoulder the most because of the angles of the bar.   I gave up heavy barbell bench press a few years ago and do most of my heavy lifting with dumb bells.  True I'm not pressing 200 pounds 27 times, but I can do three sets of 10 reps of 90 pound dumb bells with absolutely no shoulder pain.  I'm satisfied with that lift and it gives my chest a great workout.

ok thanks.


 another question,should I do rotator cuff exercises like 3 sets eveyr 3 day or do nothing at all ?

I know how much you want to get back to bench training, but I would give it a rest and when it doesn't hurt any more, work with dumb bells for awhile, until you are sure your injury is healed and not just "hiding" under the surface, waiting to come out again as soon as you start heavy lifting.   Just a suggestion.

nice start so far! jelous of the weight s you lift! will you be posting pictures up as you must be fu*kin huge to lift that amount of weights for so many reps im 17 n no lots of 18 year olds n dont no any that can rep 225 pounds more than 5 or 6 times carzy strength man!

As I was looking through the journals, this one seems to be very interesting. I haven't even seen any of strongman or powerlifters pull of 200lb incline bench 30 reps or anybody pulling off 300 stiff leg deadlift 20 reps.
 
Perhaps do you suppose to have a vid or pics of your lifts or progress as gratoiz requested. This would be really impressive if I have chance to witness this and share it with my clients.

go talk to your """clients""" lol

Really? When I've asked for it, it didn't seem to long for you to respond to check my email. So I don't think it must of been that long

What's so long to write about? I've asked for vids and pics of your progress wether it's before or recent, just as long it's a bench press or deadlift with that much weight with that many reps as I'm impressed. 

I haven't even witness guys like magnus,bill crawford or marius do something like that. Out of all the meets I've witness and out of all competitors I've had chance to meet and talk to I've never heard any of them have their numbers with that many repititions come close to yours at 19 and possibly even during their career. That's why I would like to see vid or pic at least.

first of all thanks but,deadlift 300lbs 20reps isn't that good.
and they are a cople of guys like ronnie coleman who can do alot more than me on the incline bench.

i'm sure magnus or marius can do more than that especially with deadlift...

i'm not that good...yet


but ya at 19 I don't think theres a lot of guy that have stats like me...for pics and vids,i'm planning on having my own website soon...i'll tell u when it's ready/

That's cool bud just let me know when it's done

???????
 
Were did I ask him to prove something to me. I've already mentioned with his stats I'm interested in witnessing his work. I've never witness anybody with his numbers achieve something like that
 
I don't see were you fit into this? You're weren't even mentioned lol. What have you even shared or provided in this forum that would interest anyone?

ur chuckin' a fit because he hasnt got you a video? have a cry..

Chuckin a what? lol
 
Obviously I wouldn't asks if I weren't interested.

Hmmmhm...I get that delt problem with my benching...I just take time off from benching and its fine, though as soon as i try maxxing again it comes back, so i dont max much anymore lol.
 
Great endurance stats.As to magnus, that guy is a beast, ive seen him in strongman, and he could do 300lbs deadlifts 20 reps pretty easily personally.
 
Nice work NBT

those are huge weights. would be great if you could post up a video or a picture.
im a little skeptical about the weights you say you can lift, but its most probably because im jelous lol, but im guessing most people feel the same (not that you care), but it would be good if you could prove it
