B1 db flat bench press 70 3x8
B2 head supported db row 60 3x8

C1 cable reverse back hand 3x12
C2 standing zottman curl 30 3x10

then I swam for 20 minutes.

notes

the sets are clusters again and antagonistic.

I am loving the antagonistic elements but not the clusters on bench-

I suck at incline bench pres- did I mention I hate them- last time I did those with a barbell was longer ago then last August. so I sucked. I hate theses.

should have went heavier on the dbs- for bench
the row thing is with pairs of db’s could do more there too.

zottman curls- whats called for I dont think I need any further forearm stimulation

that is all.

I’m curious as the why you don’t need any more fore arm stimulation. Go ahead. Tell us all.

Regarding the clusters on bench, I didn’t do them. I just did straight sets. I do the whole set up with feet arch etc, etc and it was exhausting just setting up. Maybe I should have.

I don’t think he gives percentage guide lines for pressing because they were in the
fucking heavy percent for me.

but it was close to failure on some of the sets- My best ever barbell bench is like 265 .

I think I am ordering wrist wraps between this and squats my left wrist feels limp even though the
fore arm is more blimp like.

They don’t give percentages. The guideline is using a weight you can do all the reps with perfect form.

That’s how I ended up doing an assload (25 singles ) of squats at 90%. But I’m a fucking rock star.

Thanks people!!!

I know he doesn’t give percentages, he does on speed work- but I never do them so had no idea
how hard it might be- seems I guessed right as they felt close to failure…

OB_s your being a rock star, has increased my forearm girth plenty…

In reality I think my forearms are about 14".

Judo + wrestling + massage school + no straps + hook grip watching gear whore powerlifters on youtube = strong forearms

probably the latter.

The hottest, barely legal, teens on the net, are not useless!

Ok so I felt so recovered I went to the gym today- I cant train this weekend
this is the only way I can get it done.

Build Lower 2
5.28.09

foam, mobility, a ton

oh squat 95x10, 95x20

A Standing Broad jump 5x5*

B Elevated Deadlift (off 45plate) 5x5**

C db reverse lunges 60 3x6

D pallof presses 3x12

Notes,
today’s recovery efforts really paid off.

broad jumps 5 in a row 5 sets , wow fun as hell
around 3rd set they got much longer.

elevated deads- put the bar on a 45 plate- put the bar below mid-shin
felt awesome last set of 385 my back angle deteriorated.

thats it, I am going to take a nap.

kmc

Wow, KMC, great job with those Deadlifts!

Thanks Math!

Why do you think he has Popeyes fore arms?

Yes my forearm > OB_s’s thigh.

although that might be cause and effect.

He yam what he yam and that’s all that he yam!

this week is a little sily squeezing in all 4 days- in a row,
but work is slow slow slow I spent allot of time on recovery.

5.29.08

build upper 2

foam mobility, dislocates, ytwl

A speed bench 135 x10x3*

B1 close grip bench press 185x 4x5

B2 chest supported row neutral grip 3 plates 4x5

C1 inverted row 3x10
C2 scap push up 3x15

Notes

this was close to 50% of my max concentrated on set up, tightness and bar speed

cgbp I suck at all these pressing movements, this one is a little less sucky feeling

chest supported row felt good but heavy. last set was 2+2+1

Overall a decent week , recovery is wasted on the young.

kmc

Nice pulls!

re: scap pushups-- I’ve been prescribed a heavy dose of those. 1 day after, the shoulder feels a bit better!

What’s an “inverted row”-- isn’t that a ‘bench press’?

think pullup instead of bench press…

grab the bar with your body horizontal and row your body up to the bar. it’s a good use for the smith machine.
