Today's Training
Today was Shoulders and Biceps day. It was an extra great day. I think that's because my noxpump seemed to hit me extra hard. Anyone who takes pre-workout supplements knows what I'm talking about. Anyway, it was great day of training once again.
Smith Machine Shoulder Press - 160 (weight on bar) x 5
Seated lateral raises - 55 x 8
Cable Lateral Raises - 120 x 6
Shrugs - 315 x 6
Triceps (pictured) - 115 x 3 (too heavy)
Skull Crushers - 125 x 5
One arm Pushdowns - 130 x 6
Pushdowns
Pushdowns are pretty much always in my routine. They are one of the best triceps exercises around. You can use different attachments, but I've found that the angled "V" bar seems to work best for me. Also, there are different ways to execute this movement. You can use "loose" form and let the bar go up toward your forehead before forcefully pushing down, allowing the weight of your body to assist you. Or you can use strict form by staying straight up, bring the bar to your chest and make it more of an isolation movement. Both way have their merit. What I usually do is do one way for 8 weeks and then the other the next 8 weeks.
