This is the most I’ve ever tried to 1 arm db row. Keep it at this weight for awhile.

Damn, so that’s what those dumbbells at the end of the rack are for. This is some seriously adequate lifting.

229

150 lb 1 arm dbell rows? WTF? Thanks for making me feel like crap. Oh and you did it for 5 sets, fantastic. Seriously that is a nice bit of lifting.

Thanks all. Trying to work on my lat spread. Show movies on my back.

OG, great work. 50% sets suck on low body days.

9/22

  1. cleans 135x2,2155x2,2,175x10x1
  2. deads 225x2,275x2,315x2,365x2,405x2,455x2,405x10x1

Mixed up regular deads and semi-sumo. Hoping to clean 275 at some point in the near future.

1a. bench barx30,95x8,135x5,185x5,225x4,275x3,295x2,325x1,295x10 (60 sec rest) 295x4
1b. chin ups BWx5,5,5,10,7,6,6,6
2a. MP 135x5x10
2b. Kirk shrugs 225x5 135x4x10

Started out feeling really stiff but after a few sets everything felt great.

232

Solid steady work per usual…the 50% sets are brutal…and you were right on squats…awful!!

233

Nice work, Steve. DB rows are scary!

And I bet the lower body 50% set does suck…in a major way.

234

Thanks fellas. After tonight I may be done with 50% sets for a while. I was spent after trap bar deadlifts. Tried some leg ext - squat thingies but it was a no go.

Looks like someone had a little energy to burn! Nice work Steve. And yeah the sun was awesome yesterday

That is insane trap bar work Steve.

Paul, I actually had a couple hours to myself between hockey games and chores. So I couldn’t resist getting outside before the deep freeze hits us.

Joe, I may be a bit insane but my trap bar numbers are at best ok for a 44 year old fat, bald guy. But thanks for making me feel good.

One of my several brother-in-laws and his partner and their two spoiled dogs are staying with us for three weeks. And my in-laws already live with us. So my bourbon consumption is a little high for a Monday night.
