Would appreciate any kind of help and know a few other guys on here will too.  http://niketalk.yuku.com/reply/10176054#reply-10176054

This is pretty dope. I might buy one in the future, or one like it (available on bb.com)
It's pretty pricey, maybe a plain bag will work

Smart idea. .

i do lateral raises fior my deltoids but some dude at the gym told me they are not good becausey ou could bust your rotator cup. Any comments on that?

Since he mentioned it i have noticed sometimes i get real sore where my shoulder meets by arm. Any of you have any suggestions on other exercises you can do to isolate the deltoids.

You can say that for any stimulate. Just control yourself. I don't take this stuff on my off day. Depends on the workout too. If I'm just running/lifting I'll only take 2 beforehand. If I'm gonna be rolling and sparring all day I'm gonna need the extra boost so I take 3.

What do you guys think of full body workouts? I just joined a new gym where all my boys are at and they do full body workouts.. Like one workout for each body part. (chest, back, shoulders, arms, and legs)  I've been doing it for the past week but it feels like I'm cheating my self.. I used to do like back/biceps, chest/triceps and so on daily... Any of y'all tried this?

I like full body workouts over single muscle groups.

But im really somewhere in the middle. 
I do pulling (rows etc.) and pushing (bench etc.) exercises on day 1
 lifting (military  etc.) and pushing (pullups etc.) exercises on day 2
Biceps and triceps and abs on day 3
and legs on day 4.


this workout has definitely worked for me. Day 1 is hard though.

alright im hoping you or someone else can answer this, but ive been wondering for a while now. when people say no or low carbs, are we talking anything with carbs or more so carbs like breads, pastas, oats, etc.. ?

thats why you go light on shoulders

I dont see any way the rotator cuff would be injured doing lateral raises.

ive seen dudes go heavy on that exercise to the point where they are basically tryna swing their arms.

Well thats no longer a lateral raise then. 

If done correctly.....

 

[brettthejett]

When I do lateral raises with proper form I feel like I'm wasting time.

I've adapted this 'heavy weight/compound exercise' concept so thoroughly that I literally can't bring myself to do isolation exercises anymore.
Like I am disgusted in people who actually pay $30 a month for a gym membership and do forearm curls/bicep curls...

Is that a bad thing? am I short changing my shoulders by only doing presses?

1,3-dimethylamylamine isn't in every stimulant.... and stuff really makes me sad

Variety is always a good thing in my opinion. Switching to one arm pressing, handstand push ups, dumbbell standing press, side press, bent press are all compound pressing moves that are similar. Each works different muscles to different extents and develops other things as well(balance and such).
Durden, do you do any rotator cuff exercises regularly? I've been doing cuban presses lately with light weights for 8 reps and slowly increasing the weight.

"zero" carb means no direct carb sources at all.....no grains, starchy vegetables, fruits, etc. you will get a few carbs from leafy green vegetables, etc. but total carb count for the day will be like 10g, which is negligible. 
low carb usually just restricts total carb intake at a certain number, say 40g /day. you can eat whatever carb sources you want to meet the 40g/day but usually complex carbs are recommended. keep in mind that 40g or whatever else the guideline is is very little, this is basically one or two servings of carbs.

as for lateral raises......with straight arms it feels awful for my shoulder joints, so i do them with arms bent so the weight is out in front of me. feels great, ridiculous burn.

im doing 13 reps with the current weight so that is pretty light. So you are suggesting 15-20 reps with lighter weight?

Same here. And I wasn't progressing in weight when I was doing them with my arms straight.

I started doing them with my arms bent after I saw Zyzz do them that way in a video.

That was the first time I saw them done that way.
