Hi Tubbs.
I'm in no way an expert, but from reading comments in my own journal and articles by Toxic Toffee you might want to consider trying lower reps, but higher weight.
http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/newsletter-0307.aspx have a read of TT's article
Maybe go for 8 reps, if 10 is achievable increase the weight next time.

hi stu, thanx for post!
Well for my first 10-12 months training I was doing very low reps, typically 3x5, 4x5 etc etc, and made some good gains. Not too long ago I was beginning to plateau, and was having various joint pains.
Basically the lighter weights - higher reps is just a big changeup, I feel like I've really shocked the muscles and I'm feeling a bit bigger! I'm also feeling a lot less joint pain.
Yeah, heavier weights worked well, and I might well go back to them at some point, but not till I've exhausted this routine!
Cheers!

First week doin shrugs, hence the varied weights! Tbh, not sure what to do after shoulders on this day.
Tried calves, but don't really see the point as I already have relatively quite large calves, shrugs just didn't really seem to work as I couldn't really feel them working or any DOMS, specially considering its the first time I've EVER done them.
Maybe I'll try forearms... I'll have a think!

Looking good bro !
Its good to take progress pics I find - easier to compare as every time I look in the mirror I feel like i'm not getting anywhere !
Bet we looked really camp strutting around the kitchen getting mum to take the pics LMAO
Hope the neighbours were out
