Thanks KMC, the hamstrings definetely don’t feel cheated after the RDLs with the hook so I’m happy.
I just wasn’t moving anywhere because my grip couldn’t hold out (since I don’t do mixed grip for hamstring work) so now I can progress with the hooks.
Alexus, that’s pretty cool about the seatbelt thing.
Thanks =)
And no donuts in Australia? Oh no ;(
Cal, so sistard is a bad thing? Oh boy.
Lol Kris, I never even noticed the guy DLing next to me.
It’s funny how you always catch what the peeps in the background are doing.
Oh yes, I’m a sucker for peer pressure =D
Haha Kalle, I know. Gotta say that your and Mainie’s avvies look similar. Maybe because you’re both DLing?
Oh yes, YAY for increased risk of heart disease lmao
Thanks =)
Ok new page already. I didn’t see that coming so quick pic. I was going to take a pic of my back since I trained back today but it seems that back pics are floating around PW today so accept some yoga… chair pose lol
Today was back and chest
I’ll most likely cut this short and give cliff notes.
Let’s see, started with deadlifts superset with wide pull-ups (feels so amazing to do these with the widest grip unassisted)
Anyway, I was hoping for a 10 pound PR at 275 but fucker didn’t budge.
Failed 275 3 times, stripped down to 265 (failed) then 225 and failed again. Nevermind I did 225 when ramping up.
Oh well, I screamed out “You gotta be fucking kidding me!” when poor other gym-goers were there and put my sad puppy face on.
I did get a pull-up PR of 6 wide grip pull-ups. I swear, the heavier I get, pull-ups are just getting awesome-er.
Next I did neutral grip pulldowns. Used my hooks so got a rep PR of 120 x 15 and 125 x 12.
Did deadstop rows.
PR of 95# x 10
I reviewed the video after the set and saw that my foot was coming up so I made a point to keep my foot down when doing the reps on the left hand. Then I redid the reps on my right hand just so I didn’t cheat myself. My right side is stronger than my left though so I only did about 5 reps with better form. Don’t want to increase the imbalance too much.
Then did straight bar pulldowns FST-7.
Then chest.
DB Incline Presses
35s x 15
40s x 14 rep PR
45s x 10, 9 Rep PR
Incline DB Fly
20s x 10
25s x 12
30s x 12
Did some bench pressing but it sucked.
I also did a new chest FST-7
Push-ups with a 25# plate on my back. That shit was hard. But I kept the plate on for all 7 sets, getting 8-12 reps each set. I think I only did one set with 8 reps, I tried to push through as best as I could. The 7th set was 12 reps. REALLY pushed through.
Did barbell rollouts for the first time courtesty of KMC. They’re awesome.
Did hanging leg raises.
Then did 8 rounds of 12 KB swings (35#) followed by 10 seconds rest. Kinda like a Tabata but going for reps instead of time.
And that’s all folks.
