Though I do my speed day differently, so I guess I'm being kind of hypocritical. -------------- The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. ~~~Hunter S.

When you're doing the dips, do you do full range, or the 1/4 dips that westside recommends for triceps? -------------- The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. ~~~Hunter S.

I popped my shoulder on my last rep of 225 today though, so ill be lucky to be even GETTING 195 this time next week. What are you maxing right now mutt?
