I decided to stick with the Super Slow Training that we started last week. Moving the weight as slow as we could without it "jerking" along the range of motion has opened up a world of information to how MY body in particular has aged and deteriorated. I have found that my right shoulder grinds and pops during certain movements having me speculate how good the movement is AND whether or not I might want to look into "cleaning" that joint up. Still uncertain, but like Uncle Rico said..."I could throw a football over that mountain. Yea, we could have won states if the coach had put me in at quarterback". (at least I would have stood for the National Anthem) Furthermore, the Super Slow Technique fortifies the MIND. You have to be in the moment else failure is hastened. The question will reveal your character, "am I failing do to the pain or am I failing because that's all I truly have?" With my body uncontrollably convulsing like a Parkinson's patient, heres what we did: If I got to five reps, the weight was raised. If I didn't get at least THREE stinking reps...I lowered the weight. (For the record! I never lower the weights and I always get 5 reps) Incline DB Fly super set with Incline DB Press: 2 sets between 3 and 5 reps Cable Crossover super set with Bench Press: 2 sets between 3 and 5 reps Cable Lateral Raise super set with 4 way neck: 2 sets between 3 and 5 reps Face Pull: 1 x 5
