I get sore basiclly everywhere after workouts except my shoulders. Anyone know why this happens? I work them hard ect.

But I always say, if you like the way your shoulders look, does it matter if they get sore after you work them? For me, the soreness just comes 1 or 2 days after the workout. And sometimes, I just don't get sore at all. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Keep going (by 10's) till you can't pump out more than 8 reps. I first did this after finishing the 12 week program and I could only get to 50. Problem is - you aren't done yet. After you finish the 50's drop down by 10's and take each one to failure till you get to where you started. These are done with no rest between sets - finish up with a couple of sets of high rep (10-12) shrugs and tomorrow or the next day forget who wrote this post. :)

Some days, I'll literally crank out 20-25 total sets, incorporating drop sets, super sets and strip sets in that intense workout. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

You get some funny looks when you go start out doing dumbell flyes with 20 pounds at my body weight but the smirks usually stop after the 7th or 8th set. :) I don't do that unless I have absolutely nothing that I want to do the next day or two.

More then likely if I do as you said, I will probably not be able to lift my arms to even post here at ft! I wrote down that routine. Thanks for your help Mike, I will give that work out a shot, and then afterwards I will feel like I got shot in the shoulders! -------------- BQ AMERICAN MADE
