Paused Close Grip Bench:

60’s 10x
70’s 5x
80’s 5x
70’s 10x

80’s 10x
80’s 10x
80’s 10x

Squat:
45 10x
135 8x
185 5x
225 5x
275 3x
315 7x Technically another high bar PR. Had more left over, but I think I’ll save reps 8+ for subsequent weeks and see if I can’t make it all the way to 10 soon. I’ve never done more than 10 reps of 315 low bar either actually.
315 5x
315 5x
225 10x

Leg Extensions:
4 sets of 10

Seated DB Press:
90’s 7x PR. Chia and Sammy were doing these, and I didn’t go this heavy yesterday. They were using the 90’s though, so I had to just run over there and jump in and do a set with the 90’s without a warmup to validate myself as a man.

GHR:
3 sets of 10

Cross Body Hammer Curls:
30’s for 2 sets of 30 These don’t bother my tendonitis issue at all, so I was hoping it would get some blood flow to the area and rehab it a little bit.

Leg Curls:
4 sets of 10

superset with

Leg Extensions: (again)
4 sets of 10

I took no rest during the superset. So it was just do 10 leg curls, walk to the leg extension and to 10 of those, walk back to the leg curl, etc, etc…

I think maybe my body was trying to have a hernia or something I dunno. What I do know, is that you don’t mess around with dick pain.

Awesome.

The bemused look on your face after that zercher hahaha. You’re like totally unaware of what the fuck even just happened.

Also, once I got smacked in the back of the head, and within seconds later I was in severe dick pain.

Some things we just can’t explain…

Thanks all. Maybe I’ll play around with those again sometime and see if I can do 550 or something lol.
