DYNAMIC EFFORT UPPER (Cycle 6 Week 3)

I called a friend on my way to the gym and he told me that he’d leave town for the summer earlier,by which he meant in half an hour.Also he brought his dog which I love so I got in and out of the gym in 5 minutes
I went in and str8 to the bench,it had 40 kg on,did them for 3 reps with a 5 second pause on the first,threw on 10 more kg,did the same thing for 6 more sets with almost no rest.Also feet were straight out cause my jeans were bugging me

1 cycle of:
Behind the head pulldowns x 25 kg x 100
Overhead barbell extensions x a small barbell x 100

Overhead extensions was the worse variation I could choose for such high reps.With the straight bar it’s a bit of a press too and it fatigued my front delts a bit

MAX EFFORT LOWER (Cycle 7 Week 2)

Unfortunately I couldn’t go yesterday and I have to squat in 2 days so I had to draw accessory volume a bit back

3 cycles of:
Cable ab pulldowns x 25 kg x 25
Pullthroughs x 15 kg x 25
Low bar squats x 20 kg x 10

100 kg + 1 band per side x 2
120 kg + 1 band per side x 2
130 kg + 1 band per side x 1
140 kg + 1 band per side x 2 I rounded over on the second but still THIS IS HUGE.Although I do not trust weights in this gym we don’t have dumbbells so I have to loop the bands around plates.So not only they start from lower but the loop is bigger,making the band tighter.So I’m almost sure the weight on the bottom was at least 140 kg

At September or October where I’ll be back at the gym I train at I’ll do a rep out at 140 kg hoping to get 3-5 reps

High bar good mornings

Also a bit of a rant here
I don’t get how people don’t feel suppressed in a country that you’re not allowed to own a gun.After the events in Turkey people should demand to be given the right to carry.And although I think US is on the other side of the spectrum with the non existent gun control,their constitution deserves maximum respect (for that part at least)
