QUOTE(darklight79 @ Jun 12 2008, 01:08 AM) It's still a compound which hits the upper pecs and anterior delts. It's also a bodybuilding movement where quality reps are emphasized instead of aiming to push a particular amount of weight through a plane of movement. I feel like making a change for chest, incorporating light and heavy days once every 6 days.  but since its more like a quality lift rather than quantity.

QUOTE(darklight79 @ Jun 12 2008, 01:12 AM) And compounds can't be done with quality reps. Arnold also used this exercise quite a lot in his chest routine. You can try searching up Gironda's articles. Added on June 12, 2008, 1:16 amI thought of doing them last but i was thinking that if i did that, it would end up as a preexhaust kind of workout and i'm not a fan of that. hmm sounds good. i actually did before. bench press to neck. just that wasn't aware of the risk. and actually injured my rotator cuff. took 2 months off benching for that time lol..

QUOTE(darklight79 @ Jun 12 2008, 01:25 AM) Damn... so that's what caused your injury. Yeah, i did a lot of research on the neck press before thinking about doing it. I consulted Terry on the phone earlier too. Lol. I didn't want to take any chances. Even he said go light. It's an amazing exercise dude. Can you link me? the second thing that made it worst was those freaking stupid upright rows. lol.. screwed my shoulder in this case.. same side.. right side.. even tho rotator cuff is fine already.. i cant do any chin ups, pull ups, wide grip narrow grip, dips or anything. sharp pain on my right shoulder.. maybe i'm gonna get a scan soon and see whats the problem

HIT is a good regime la. but it goes against the bodybuilder's commen sense of training. the volume is too low. u train per body part 9-14 days once man. u go to the gym like 2-3 days a week? just to train one body part. its very very easy to over train too man. u gotta understand your body recovery capacity very well to do HIT. no many can make use of HIT optimally. u need a very strong mental to be able to push through failure too. training beyond failure is not an easy thing. its more than muscle. its your head.

IMO cable flies are a lot better than dumbbell flies. cable flies' TUT is much more than db flies too

when you train for hypertrophy(high reps), strength is your side effect, when you train for strength, hypertrophy is your side effect. when you train for both at the same time, you'll achieve nothing. lol
