QUOTE(darklight79 @ Dec 11 2008, 10:57 PM) It took a while but it was a pretty feel good accomplishment. Noted, will include side and lateral raise in my workout! Your "joints are creaking" during isolation movements probably because you are using way too much weight. Do you know I use only the 25's or 30's for dumbell lateral raises? My heaviest was the 40's. You're not meant to go heavy on iso's and seriously, ditching lateral raises is the worst mistake you can do. It directly adds width to you shoulders. Most shoulder pressing movements hit mostly the medial, anterior and maybe posterior head but not much of the lateral delts. Lateral raises do that. What do i recommend? Scroll back a few pages for my shoulder workout. 115kg is good. Keep doing it every 2 weeks and you'll catch up. |

Wanna ask about abs exercise ... After reading through the journals I found that most of the bbers here don't have a day specially for abs alone ... While I arrange a day every week for chest workout as shown :
Captain's chair Reverse Crunch Crunches Sit Up Bicycle crunch All of them 5 x 10 ... Should I start adjusting my workout |

i am having some problem with muscle mind connection...arrhh, just dont know how to use my lat muscle
i did pendlay row, widegrip pulldown, narrow grips pulldown...my lat dont feel fatigue at all, it only taxing my trap and biceps hope can get some guidance from you this is the guideline i get from bb.com but dont really understand it QUOTE http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/issa12.htm Overhead pulldown Proper Position: * Grasp the bar using a pronated grip approximately 6 inches wider than shoulder width. * Grasp the bar with the arms slightly bent with the elbows pointed away from the body. * Make sure that the knees are placed firmly under the support pads and that your feet are planted firmly on the ground. * Lean back slightly (approximately 15 degrees) to allow the bar to travel in a correct downward path. * Maintain a natural arch in the lower back. This is the starting position. Proper Form: * From the starting position, pull the shoulder blades down and together and begin to contract the latissimus dorsi muscle by initiating contraction by bending the elbows. * Pull the arms down and out until the bar touches your clavicle. * Keep the scapulae retracted and depressed. * Contract the latissimus dorsi while relaxing the hands and arms. * In a controlled manner, return the bar back to its starting position and repeat. Essential Tips: * Concentrate on keeping the hands and arms relaxed while contracting the latissimus dorsi. * Maintain a natural arch in the spine at all times. * Keep the head and neck in a neutral position throughout the exercise. |

Wide Grip Pull Down
And I noticed that the way you grip the bar is quite important too .. Try supinate a bit so that you don't actually push instead of pull. This post has been edited by JustForFun: Dec 20 2008, 05:17 PM |
