thanks nick
ive found certain body parts respond much better to volume - shoulders and calves for one.. others such as biceps for me respond much better to what i personally consider lower volume work... but also respond mcuh better to frequent changes in routine... whereas shoulders and calves dont!
train abs once a week at the moment.. when dieting fro a show i like to train them every day - i feel this keeps them tighter and more defined!
trained arms this morning... decided to switch my workout around a bit and do some different exercises as my diet has been pants this week (practically lived on biscuits yesterday) so thought doing my normal session id prob struggle a little and be deflated.... did some close grip pressing with olympic bar for triceps... could feel my dodgy shoulder

no pain as such... just very stiff... so if i do decide to switch back to dumbells for chest i may just go light and use some pre-exhaustion or something to take teh edge off it!
