get me drunk enough and iāll do just about any volume. Even german volume. wait what are we talking about?
I used to know a guy who would say āiād f**k a rock pile if it had a snake in itā and to this day i have no idea what that really means, or what it has to do with volume.

I didnāt pay too much attention to counting these. I just did some reps mixed with some slow negatives and static holds and whatnot. The rings feel incredible for strengthening the entire arm/shoulder area. I may have pushed my left bicep a little bit doing these though, but itās not too bad.

Nice highbar work. Do you wear a belt. Ive found a belt less helpfull on highbar vs. lowbar- where it was very helpfull, like a deadlift.

Iām a belt whore. Unless I bragg about how I did something beltless on here you can bet itās belted; even bench and press lol.

Ring Pullups:
Did a few sets of 8-10 mixed in with some static holds practicing the false grip
It wasnāt much on my bicep, but I can feel that it strained it just a little bit. Hoping it heals soon. Does hope work as well as doing what youāre actually supposed to do? I hope so.

Both easy PRās on incline. Might beat them next week; felt pretty good.
Ring Dips:
messed around with a few sets of dips (6-10 reps depending on how slow I went) and static holds at the bottom and top positions
I canāt get over how crazy hard ring dips are compared to regular ones lol.

435 0x I let myself get all freaked out by this, and I went down way too slowly and tried to mess with my bar position mid lift and it was just not the best. Thatās okay; wasnāt a good day to try this anyhow, just thought I may as well give it a ride.
415 1x Dropped down and hit this. Pretty slow after tiring myself out on the last one though lol.
315 5x
Pullups:
5 sets of 10
superset with
Dips: (regular not rings)
5 sets of 10-20 depending on how slow I was doing them and if I did any pauses
Seated Curls:
4 sets of tons of reps
Swiss Bar Curls:
4 sets of 8-10
Strip Set:
9 5lb plates on each side (135), went to near falure and then removed a 5 and repeated till I got to just the bar, then went to failure. Pretty brutal.
Did one last set of face down incline bench curls really slow for as many reps as I could to finish off de pump.
Fuck you biceps! Eat shit! My left arm was still feeling weird, but itās been like a month now without any decent arm training because of this crap. It can either tear or heal, but I have given it enough time to do either so it will just have to deal with it. Thatās my bicepās problem, not mine.

Gonna pick out a strongman contest as soon as I feel more confident in my overhead strength.
I may do a push pull meet next month just to tide me over though and see if I cant get a decent bench on the books.
