I'm actually going to be doing your shoulder routine today. Thanks for posting.

Let me know how it goes for you! It is part of a 3-day split done twice a week from one of Arnold's books. If you are interested in this style of high sets / supersets , I can give you the full workout!

I have been refining my workout over the past 4-6 weeks and found one that seems to be working really well for me. I am 3 weeks away from my next progress photo so I am pushing really hard to get my diet and workouts in check.

I am still going to the gym 6-7 days a week, and loving every second of it. I watched a Youtube video of C.T Fletcher talking trash about "overtraining", and choose to believe him ( for now ) haha.

Anyways, since my routine has been changing it has been hard to document my progress, but I will show some 1 MR changes thus far.

Bench Press:
When I started in November of 2012, I could BARELY push up 95lbs on the bench. I wouldn't say that was max, but pretty damn close. As of today, February 26, 2013, my max is about 180lbs. I feel like I could probably do 5-10lbs more if I did it earlier in my routine, but that hasn't happened. My WORKING sets are from 140-160 usually.

Deadlift:
I avoided doing these at the beginning to avoid injury due to bad form or weak core muscles. But when I did try, I had a hard time lifting 115lbs. I still haven't tried a MAX because again I don't want to hurt myself, but I am doing working sets of 8-10 reps at 205lbs.

I will try and work some more max reps out this week and compare to my first few weeks.

So I hit a new max in flat bench on Saturday. 202lbs x 2 . I am confident in hitting 210 this week!

Also, progress pics are coming this week! Can't wait to see progress !

Huge day for me yesterday on the bench! 2 PLATES!! (225lbs).

Seriously, less than 4 months ago, I was struggling to put up a pair of 35lb plates more than 5 time. And now I am pushing 225lbs for 2 reps just for good measure.

I have a feeling I could have got another rep or two if I did it earlier in my workout. Will push for 2 plates and a 5 on each side this week.

WOO! This was the biggest rush for me at the perfect time this week. Work has been extremely busy/stressful and this made it all better.

Congrats on the bench, huge lifting !! Nice accomplishment there for sure.

Now you can take that confidence into the next sessions, and before you'll know it a couple of plates a side will be almost lightweight!

How's your weekend, what are you up to?
