Did 15k on an advanced mountain bike route yesterday which is something I have never done before, way out of my depths but didnt fall off or injure myself though!
The couple times Iāve done that have been way out of my depth too, and what was the most tiring was me instinctively death-gripping the handlebars from pure fear of falling/dying
flat db bench
40kg x6
(messed up my first rep getting it up which lost me a couple of reps)
30kg 5s pause at bottom x 6
(trying to kill stretch reflex to help with getting the first rep up with 40kg)
incline
30kg x10 (failure) drop into
20kg x 12 (failure)drop into
15kg x10 (failure)
squeeze press
2 15kgs x failure
side lat run through
3kgx 25
5kgx 15
7.5kg x10
Rest
7.5kgx 10
5kgx15
3kgx25
(Form was atrocious on this)
Thanks. Iām starting a bit of trap specialisation for a few weeks to bring them up a bit and obviously my erectors are lacking so need to make sure Iām consistent with the back extension.
I think I may start wearing a belt every session as Charles seems pretty big on it.
Had an hour today so decided to pop to the actual gym. Back and legs but added some chest in cuz missing pec decā¦
single arm lat hammer ( kneeling like PC)
3x15
1x failure
(Kept loading on plates, wanted to fail around 12 reps. Had 5 plates on for last set and still hit 16 reps)
Changes the strength curve so the weight is heaviest in the lengthened position but lighter in the shortened position. So matches the strength curve of the lats better. Which is prob why I could load it up so much.
