^me at new gym

seriously.

Chest and Back today

warmups

BB Bench
135 x 12
225 x 10
275 x 3 (<-WTF? went to locker room, re-centered myself, returned)
315 x 5 (<-thats better)
350 x 2 (new rep pr ie never actually tried to rep it till today)

T-Bar Row
3tp x 15
4tp x 13
5tp x 9
6tp x 4

Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Chest Press wide grip (say it 4 times fast)
4tp x 12
6tp x 8
8tp x 5

Bent Over Barbell Row
225 x 15
315 x 10
365 x 5

Rear Delt Fly Machine
3 x 8-12 reps

Cable Fly, 2 second pause at flex, then slow return to start
3 x 12-15

Lat Pulldowns
3 x 12-15

Probably just got out of the groove on that 275, no biggie.


So I talked to the trainers at the gym, we are gonna try to get a shirt made that says “QUEST FITNESS: Token White Guy.” I am not kidding, they think it would be good marketing.

Anyways.

New routine of Law School is whipping my ass, so I have had to get creative with numbers and volume so the intensity can stay the same. Am starting the Coan Deadlift routine again, albeit with less volume (so a slightly lower “current max” to work with).

Conventional Deadlift

Warm up
135 x 10
225 x 8
315 x 5
405 x 3

Working Sets
460 x 2
355 x 4 x 3 (cut the volume)

Single Leg Extensions
3 x 15-20 per leg, pause and squeeze at the top

Stiff Leg Deadlift
135 x 3 x 20 - half speed, pause at bottom

And there you have it. Time to go brief cases. Again.
