Db shoulder presses:6510,8010,90*10
Bench with 3 board improvisation:1355,2255,2753,2753(vid),135*5 I tried to pause on every rep, but in the video and a few other sets i forgot to pause the first rep, also used a slightly narrower grip than my normal bp grip.
Pullups:bw33sets, didn’t push too hard because i pulled a mid trap muscle yesterday front squatting the weight back up to the racks after i failed yesterday.
Done
that shit was easy mane!
What’s that? Did I notice a little leg drive there? Now you’re gettin in man, that shit was wicked easy.
Trav, thanks dude, it sure didn’t feel easy though.
Ink, yeah i tried to get my feet under me move, but they did slip a little while unracking the bar. So still got a ways to go.
DE lower:
Wide stance box squats to about parallel:1332,1332,2232,2232,2232,2232 Still haven’t worked in the bands yet as i am still really weak off the box. Read that Louie recommends doing box squats in a wide stance because it hits the hips harder, so going to try it out for a bit and see if i can increase my hips and power off the bottom.
Speed deads:1332,1832,2332,2332,2332,2332(vid of last 4 sets) Felt pretty good, will add bands next week.
Good mornings:1335,1335,1835,1835,2335,2335
Romanion deads:13310,23310,23310,2335,233*5 Grip started failing so i split the last set into 2 sets of 5.
Standing cable crunches:10010,14510,14510,20510
Done, so this guy was screwing around curling the 25s on the olympic platform when i got there. I said to myself okay, i’ll let this go while i warm up and if he’s still on there when finish warming up, i’m takin over. So when i got back i grabbed the dumbells and rolled them away. Absolutely no confrontation of any kind, he came over and grabbed the dumbells and put them away. He was on one of his 5 minute breaks when i came back and rolled the dumbells away.
If you want me to come by the rec center and try to help you put your suit on, I would be more than willing. I’ve got some of the gloves that guys use to put gear on…they’re cloth backed with rubber covered fingers/palm. If it works with my schedule I can spare some time to help…have you tried using baby powder or putting a barbell through the straps and then hanging from the barbell in a power cage like someone in a zip-line harness and flailing around? Seems to work well for guys trying to get their suit up.

Hey dude i would really appreciate that. I am going to exchange the ones i currently have(both briefs and suit) because they simply are too tight in the quads. I can’t even get one leg all the way up, even with the bags as assistance. I gotta get myself a pair of those gloves as well because the suit does tear the shit out of my hands everytime i tried to get it on.

Lol. Yeah floor presses are the tits.
oh gosh, there goes DF.
strong work HR!!
Haha, we do have similar schedules! Hey, which bands are those for your pulls? I gotta get something other than my monster mini’s for those, and the pro strong’s are too heavy.
DF, damn you and your “tits” haha
Mim, thanks for stoppin by.
Ink, they are the grey average long bands.
Well today is the anti tits, but hopefully tomorrow will be the tits. Got ME upper and i get to sleep in, man that is going to be the tits.
LOL @ ALL THE TITS!
Well today certainly was NOT the tits.
ME upper:
2bd equivalent Bench:13510,1355,added the pads,2252,2252,2751,3151,3351,355BIG FAT FAIL, regular bench 225*12
335
355 attempt
Glass side laterals:2010,3010,4010,506
Rear db laterals:3015,4015,6010 drop 3015
Overhead single arm db extensions:2015,3010,4010,47.53,25*15
Done, not happy about bench, everything i did felt like crap until i got angry for missing the attempt and then i could not feel pain. I’m still embarrasingly weak in that transition area of bench. I just dont know what i can do at this point except try alot of supramaximal work and alot of db pressing and see how that goes. Gonna press on…
Dude but you got to sleep in and plus, you smoked that 335 like it was nothing. Id definitely say that = tits!
Its spreading…
