Not a great feeling bench day. I was gonna push it if it felt good, but I just ended up doing some heavier work sets.

Did 8 or so sets of bench machines and 4 sets of shoulder press machines.

That sounds like it would’ve been painful to watch you do. Exactly how rounded over were you to lift this? Also, is it good for anything? It seems like it isn’t specific enough at that point.

I’m not sure if the specificity is there but if you are lacking in spinal extension, leg drive or upper back strength this could do some good. You’d have to be a fucking masochist to do them regularly though.

Chris, your philosophy reminds me a lot of Archer. If you were to take a break from training I’m pretty convinced the effect of the cumulative DOMS would kill you.

So keep it up ya beast!

Oh I was rounded as a motherfucker. I don’t have the hamstring flexibility to even get into a decent position like that. I just like doing things like that sometimes as a challenge lift. With a better weight selection though it very well may help with my upper back position and static strength on my pulls.

1/5/2015

Squat:
warmup
365 2x
365 2x

Deadlift: using hookgrip
warmups
405 2x
405 2x
405 2x
405 2x
405 2x

Just starting the process of conditioning my thumbs. I’m switching to hookgrip. I am 100% set on this. I had trained with straps for a while lately, and after doing some pulls with mixed grip it felt really noticeable that I was twisted. Being able to be double overhand feels so much better and more even on my hips and back.

Pause Bench:
warmups
315 1x
315 1x
315 1x
275 3x
275 3x

Just making sure I can still hit a paused rep with meet legal form. I kinda can.

Log Press:
135 3x
185 2x
185 2x
185 1x

First and last sets of the log press were really clean. Second set was disgusting. I’m trying to learn decent push press form and find my balance.

I did squat, deadlift, bench press, and log press all in the same workout. It felt cool.

Here’s a bench example:

I think that’s still okay. Butt didn’t shoot up too badly.
