    Stretching immediately after has helped me quite a bit with DOMS after leg days.

    Thats the best part. Look into BCAA's to help with recovery.

    Whats your shoulder routine look like?

    It's going to be a tough day no matter what. Lot's of sets.

    Front raises 3x12
    incline side raises 3x12
    over head db presses 3x12
    DB shrugs 4x12
    Standing Low Cable Deltoid Raises 3x12
    upright rows 3x12

    what brand of bcaa's do you use?

    Oh btw, If any of you use Muscle Milk in any form, stop! Stuff has high levels of 3 diffent types of heavy metals. Lead, cadmium and arsenic.

    Yeah I don't use Muscle Milk, but I've heard rumors of that. Nothing really that substantiates it though.

    You try military presses much? If you get in stuck on DB presses try to mix it up with standing military press. I usually do 2 presses for shoulders. Not trying to teach, just giving you different ideas. I do two weeks of a routine and then switch up the exercises.

    I use a intra-workout drink for my BCAA's called Xtend by Scivation. Since starting it seems to have made a world of difference.

    I ought to mixed up my workouts more than I do. I've made pretty decent progress though.

    Thanks for the tip with the BCAA's. I know it's in my whey, but it's probably not enough, right?

    Yeah, I don't think its enough. This 58 year old at my gym who is ripped and says he used to workout with Frank Zane back in the day recommended I sip on some BCAA's during my workout and its helped a lot.

    Dude's always giving me pointers and I pick his brain. He's taught me some great stuff.

    I drink a ton of water during my workouts. Diluting the bcaa drink isn't a problem?
