215 X 5 @ 75%
240 X 5 @ 85%

Barbell RDL’s:

I hate training legs so much! The pump you get is not pleasant and it’s brutally taxing on your body. I know I need to do it though and I’m already making progress. Once I get my leg strength back, these things are going to be huge! For me, leg strength = leg size.

I trained arms with Rich. Close grips have a way different feel after doing rope extensions. They felt pretty good. Hammer curls were awesome. Christmas trees sucked and not in a good way but I did them because Rich wanted to. lol. I was cheating a lot to get the weight moving. It was basically just controlled negatives with a clean to start. Good day regardless.

Feel free to do so! Organic isn’t too terrible, but the first can be rough for a lot of people, the second semester of Organic is much easier.
Are you in Physics 1 (Kinetics) or Physics 2 (E&M)?

Have you felt any better since the daily stretching/rolling that you do now?

Today went pretty well despite limited sleep. I stayed up late studying for a physics exam that I still did poorly on =/ I don’t think many people did well though so I may not be too screwed. My buddy Jermie got eight reps with 240 on bench four weeks ago and today he got eight reps with 255. That is what I call progress. He’s a good guy and is working very hard. I am so proud of him. I’m loving how overhead extensions are feeling. Great day overall.

I think I’ll be taking Organic I, Physics 2 w/ Lab, Spanish 2 and an upper level humanities course next year. I wish the advisors here at OU put more effort into counseling students and trying to keep them on track for graduating on time. That’s about my biggest concern with school at the moment.

I’m in Kinetics right now. It’s not too bad and I hear Physics 2 is even easier? Where do you go to school and what are you trying to do with your degree?

The stretching is definitely useful. I do it Wednesdays and Sundays after loosening up a bit with cardio. I think it’s helped with recovery and alleviating aches and pains.

I go to a fairly small university in Georgia, North Georgia College & State University. I grew up in this town and the chemistry department has national accreditation with the ACS so the curriculum is the same as other larger universities. I plan to get my Ph.D in physical chemistry from Northwestern then teaching at a large university, so I have a god bit more schooling to go through.

Here, Physics 2 was much harder, but that is because our professor was extremely math oriented, I think that the concepts of physics 2 are easier though. I ended up with an A in both though. I’m actually fairly fluent in spanish as well, haha.

Thankfully my reaearch professor is my advisor, so she takes very god care of me to nature sure I get everything that I need.
I definitely need to stretch and roll a lot more than I do, which is nearly null.

I had to do some sprints to get my lab report turned in on time and I felt like I was dying afterwards. lol. Athleticism = non-existent. My explosiveness in the weightroom suffered but I think my form has improved. It’s time for me to drop dumbbell rows. I pretty much made something out of nothing today.
