So today was my hypertrophy day for upper body and it was my first time doing side lateral raises. I knew I'd need to start light, but I was only able to do 15 lb dumbells for like 8 or 9 reps. Is that normal? Fwiw I did 6 total sets of BP, dumbell and barbell, and also 3 sets of standing OHP, so I wasn't at 100% by the time I got to them, but still I felt really weak. e: I should go rewatch some form videos, I may have been trying to raise too high.

They're likely to be the lightest weights you use in any workout.

Yeah, that's an exercise which uses small muscles and involves some rather unfavourable leverage.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. I feel like I'm good at making OHP a compound lift, I feel like my triceps and upper chest as well as shoulders all contribute to the movement, so I haven't really had anything really hitting my shoulders specifically this entire time, unless you count face pulls. Overall I really am enjoying this program so far. I was pumped up like hell tonight, you could actually see muscles, albeit tiny ones through my shirt. I need to hurry up and shed this 20 lbs of fat I've gained the past year.

Try doing your lateral raises one armed while leaning at an angle by holding onto something with your off arm.

Interesting, I may try it if I can't get into the regular version, but I don't like one limb variations because I already have so little free time even if it is only adding the time it takes to perform it. I usually get to the gym by 2:15 and start to get antsy if I'm there too long after 3. One day I'll work regular hours again.

How do you guys feel about doing them like this dude? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5sNYB1Q6aM When I first saw his channel I was weary because it has a lot of the "buy xxx" stuff and super catchy name, but once I watched them all he seems pretty informative. I've learned a ton of good stretches from him. The sitting down hamstring stretch is my favorite hammy stretch behind legs up the wall.

Not gonna lie, I don't think I've ever eaten my words any harder. Wrote that, went to the gym, saw a dude much more swole than I doing that exact workout. Gotta say, it must be a statistical outlier that I've been going to the gym for two years and I never saw anyone doing that.

Yeah I wasnt trying to poo poo on anyone. You should be bent forward slightly I agree with that video. It does take longer to do it 1 armed so if you are in a crunch for time just get what you can do done. I like em because it eliminates a lot of the use of the lats and focuses squarely on the shoulder if you are angled.

That's the best part, all crossfit exercises are full body workouts so all muscles are targeted.

I started working the shoulders hard almost a year ago and I am still only up to 25 pound dumbbells, 3/10.

I do crossfit in the morning for cardio. It is a good replacement for HIIT and a lot more interesting.

I had broccoli and chicken for dinner! Also I now get to bake cookies like 3 times a day at work along with all the free hotdogs, tornados, bugers, chicken sandwiches and nachos I get to eat all day.

I work in a gas station(circle k)! It's literally right across the street from my LA fitness so I get to flirt with all the gym hotties I see in there.

Everything else about the job sucks though, working 60 hours a week to barely get by is kinda straining especially since i work a swing schedule.

Few years ago I worked at a papa johns, and it was super miserable. Except we were right next to a hair salon and tanning bed place, so hotties walking by all day long. Free pizza helped me bulk to over 200 pounds for the first time, which was cool I guess.

You must be doing something really wrong or have super lovely wrists if you're screwing them up with OHP.

Are deadlifts considered crossfit since it's almost a full body exercise? I do them for time. Usually about 45 minutes, with a couple minutes between sets of 5/3/1...
