    Flexibility isn't bad... I'm not all that flexible... Half?

    How do you do it, specifically the pec deck? I don't use the handles... I put the base of my hand on the outside of the handle and pull them together, touching the handles together in the middle and squeeze for a second before I continue the reps. I get both a good stretch and a good squeeze on the pec deck.

    Ahh, that makes a difference... I go down to where I feel a good stretch, but that's probably different for everyone. I probably go to where my upper arms are below parallel with the floor. I've never seen anyone say you shouldn't do that. The only exercise I DON'T do that is shoulder presses and there I keep my upper arms parallel with the floor and no further.

    How do you mean? I go down pretty much to where the bar touches my chest but don't bounce it.

    How much you weigh?

    Anything that has "brazillian" and "butt" in it, sounds excellent.

    Hey Irv, you going to the gym today?

    I do chest day two ways... bench press and non bench press. Bench press day, I usually start on the bench and do five sets up... 135, 185, 225, 245, 275 then at least two back down, 225 and 185 as many as I can. Then I'll go on to some sort of incline, either dumbbells or machine, incline barbell kills my shoulders. Then I'll do pec-deck, dumbbell flies, cable flies, decline barbell or some combination of those and I usually end with supersets of crunches and push-ups. Non bench day I just start with usually incline dumbbell presses which I also pyramid up and then down, flat dumbbell presses or maybe smith machine declines, then on to flies or the pec-deck. Essentially I try and switch up the order every other time and I don't always do flat bench barbell presses. Other chest stuff... close grip bench, plate presses... take a plate, lay down and it's like a close grip press essentially...

    Generally... there are some exceptions of course. Honestly my traps never really get sore either on shoulder day or deadlift day?
  11. Darth Biscuit
    I do five days really... Back, Chest, Legs, Shoulders/Traps, and Cardio and I deadlift every other leg day so that works out to one deadlift day per week basically.

    Strong traps help you pick up heavy poo.
  13. Darth Biscuit
    I do four main trap exercises. Standing dumbbell shrugs Standing barbell shrugs Standing shrug machine Behind the back shrugs on the Smith Machine Obviously they get hit on shoulder presses and some upper back stuff too. I do my traps on Shoulder day, which is today for me. I honestly prefer either the machine or barbell shrugs... I can go a lot heavier on those and keep good form. On dumbbells I go a little lighter and try to get more of a contraction at the top.

    My kind of squirrel. Nutting between bewbs.

    OneBadCat, I would suggest that you cut the reps, but I think you already figured that out. Do one or two sets at 8 or 10 but then, and esp when you get heavier, don't go over 6. Then, once you're done with traditional deads, do some sumo deads with about half the weight you go up to on deads, and then some rack pulls and go heavy on those.

    You know I've actually thought about that... at the very minimum I could outdo those idiot trainers in our gym. Most of them just stand around checking their phones while their clients do something completely incorrectly. Joscott and I just had a discussion the other day about the merits of training hot women. Seems like a pretty damned decent job. Yesterday at the gym I took 'body pump' and the instructor was 8.5 months pregnant. She don't play. She kicked my ass.

    For some reason, I think PhillyB will dig this.
