Can anyone point me to a how to for HC2PP? I keep reading that it is an awesome shoulder routine but I can't find any info on it! (probably not looking hard enough!)

Glad you are enjoying it mate. Like I say I haven't done it myself so can't really comment. I can't see how a fitty squating in front of you is anything less than super distracting though, and lack of blood in the muscles can't be good for growth
It helps me focus by monitoring her form
Had a good second half to my trial of an upper/lower routine. All slow negatives.

Deadlifted 120kg today for 5 sets. Not that impressive I know but I've always struggled with deadlifts until the last couple of weeks where I've just gone for it and had someone watch my technique
Was doing 80kg a month ago

Nice progression
I have to focus heavily on my breathing when deadlifting of I go very feint just after the set. Brilliant exercise though.

I saw a vid of those too, what is the main benefit if no one minds the n00b question?

Haha, yeh I saw that one when I first looked them up, and I think I commented about his form on here, deffinitely not form that I would use, but then again I'm years behind that guy judging by his physique. He must have been going for a pb.
If done correctly I think it stimulates the bicep more.

Just watched the new Evan Centopani video, great guy with a crazy physique but watch from 11:25, answers a lot of questions that are repeatedly asked in this thread perfectly IMO. http://mdtv.musculardevelopment.com/content/view/2445/225/
Definitely no issues. I'd have no issues if you wanted to create your own journal separately also.

Legs day again today
Going to make sure I hit 30T again!! woop woop
And as for the post above, I'd like to start a journal, I'm rubbish at keeping progress of myself so that might inspire me

Yer cool
I think they are generally better as seperate threads

Managed just over 30T today, struggled though, especially during squats as back day is yesterday, so lower back was a bit sore from deadlifts and getting a PB on that
Did my first lot of Good mornings last night at the gym after hearing good things about them building core strength on here. I have to say I was shocked at how much weight I could use. I didn't push myself though, I could feel it in the muscles but no doms today. I was using 35 kg for 12 reps and taking it nice and slow and quite deep but my torso was not parrallel with the floor (hope thats right). I think I could really come to love this exercise, especially on day's where I've been squatting as it takes a lot out of me and I'd prefer not to deadlift on the same day.
Think I picked it up in something Tank wrote, so thanks mate

I've had exactly the same. Aftermath of the cold making my asthma really bad. It lasted almost 3 weeks! Only now I am not coughing and back to training. Squat = Ouch now
