EDIT: Oh, my shoulders 'getting better'...But its still dodgey, if I do the bench press movement i can feel it doing something....Feels like its got trapped air or something.

Seeing the doctors on Friday, but the naff docter, so its pretty pointless

One word - specialist.

Any common Doctor will probaly want to amputate the whole arm.

Hate it when:

You: 'when I do this....it hurts'
Doctor says: 'Don't do that then'
You: FUUUUUU!

Took you seven years of medical school to become a smart arse.

Exactly what mine are like...I can't book specialsit appointments without going through the GP, which they wont book because 'if i dont do that movement it doesn't hurt'....Plonkers :p

Unless i can go directly to the physio here where i live, but its like a hospital, so don't think i can

Your GP should reffer you to a specialist if you request it. If he doesn't then have a ******* good rant at him about you pay his wages and will take a steaming **** on his Jag if he doesn't.

Well i'll just put a complaint in if he doesnt, or threaten to turn up an A+E, that always kicks them into gear
 
That's why I went to a sports physio who insisted I carried on with exercise, but just add certain movements and a certain weight to help recovery/rehabilitation. Worth every penny - expensive, but I wouldn't think twice.

Does anyone get crazy DOMS in their traps after their shoulder workouts? Delts don't get sore though, so I hope I'm not doing anything wrong lol. :o

Very rarely ever get DOMS in my lateral delts just massive pumps.

Traps can be a little dommy sometimes but no where near as bad as lats/quads/hams/calves.

Seated DB shoulder press with no back rest will rape your traps.
 
Can anyone recommend a good 4 day split for me please.

Ive been doing Back/Bis, Chest/tris, Shoulders, Legs...

but my exercises are quite disjointed. If I had something I could put into a spreadsheet or something I would be sorted
 
try;

Chest
Back
Rest
Shoulders/Legs
Arms

limited to about 45-50 minutes per session

Same, get awesome trap DOMS but not so much the rest, although front laterals do feel sweet once DOMS'd out :)
 
If you don't like the sound of the split above (not keen on an arms day myself), what I've found myself doing:

Monday: Quads (Calves/core work if you fancy it)
Tuesday: Chest & Tri's
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Back & Hams
Friday: Shoulders & Bi's
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Rest (Or repeat cycle again depending on your volume & intensity)

Big fan of training legs this way and the Back & Hamstring combination is working well with SLDL/DL's.

Also the fact you're training some of your biggest muscles (quads/hams quite frequently means big releases of test/GH will be continuous. As opposed to spiking on a leg day and then trailing for the rest of the week or until your next leg workout.)

Made some good use of my resistance bands today for rear fly. Prefer it so much to a freeweight rear fly as emphasis was on my delts too much.
