Training At Apollon With My First Training Partner...

Friday, was shoulders and hamstrings as usual. One of my best friends PJ Braun (who took top 10 at the North Americans, and overall at the AC), came down because he wanted to train at Rob's hardcore gym. He got to my house around 3pm, and we ate then headed out to the gym around 4:30pm. We hit some traffic, but got there and started training around 6pm. PJ loved the gym as I told him he would. We trained some shoulders together but he wasn't going balls to the wall because he just came off his show, so you have to take it easy when that's the case. But it was good to be at the gym with PJ, he was one of my first training partners back in 2003 when I met him. Since I moved back to NJ it's hard to train with him, but yesterday was just like old times, during the sets balls to the walls, in between, the usual PJ and Guy joking around. I got some of my best workouts and gains with PJ, we always push each other to the limit and this time was no exception. Got keep getting those trainng days in bro, miss ya. So this is what I did.
Shoulders:
Seated db lateral raises-20x15, 25x15, 30x12, 40x10
Hammer strength press-2 warm ups, 225x15, 275x15, 315x10, 315x10
Cable side raises-30x15, 40x12, 50x10
High cable rear delt extensions-30x15, 35x12, 40x10
Upright cable rows-3 sets until failure
Barbell shrugs-225x12, 225x12, 315x12, 315x12

Hamstrings:
Stiff leg barbell dead lifts-225x12, 275x10, 275x10, 275x10
Lying ham curls-4 sets until failure
**After 8 sets I was shot, my hams were on fire, I went pretty slow on the stiff legs and I think that burnt out my hams a lot faster than usual.
BODYBUILDING ISN'T A ONE MAN SPORT, BECAUSE IT'S YOU AGAINST YOURSELF!
