Seated row - 120x10, 220x12 (+1 rep)
BB Shrug - 135x10, 225x5, 335x11 (I think I’m going to go lighter, these weren’t very strict)

Next week I’ll do 315, but then I think I’ll stay there for a few weeks, I’m really leaning forward way too much on the last couple.

DB Pullovers - 25x10, 45x20 (+5 reps… unfortunately if I want to go heavier I need to go to 65’s, the 55’s are a different type of dumbell that I always feel like I’m going to drop on my face)

I noticed you use HS machines a lot. I used to be anti-machine, but this year I’ve been using the hell out of HS, and have been kicking myself I never used them earlier. They are very effective, especially the ISO-Lateral machines.

Yeah I definitely like some of them a lot. Also, the dumbbells at my old high school where I’m usually at now only go up to 75’s so a lot of things are out of the question, really need machines.
Squats today I got 315x3. Underwear were ripping lol so I was thinking too much about that, and also my lower back was still a little sore from rack pulls Tuesday so I didn’t wanna push it too hard. Next week I think I’ll get 5.
Underwear on squat day?
This reminds me, in college I went a full 12 months free balling. True story

Hahaha sounds like a glorious year. I’ll have to remember to free ball it on squat day from now on.

Chest/Tris
Bench Press - 135x14, 185x6, 225x2, 265x6 (+10 pounds, -1 rep)
Incline HS - 180x10, 270x4, 340x5 (+2 reps)
Low-incline fly’s - 25x8, 45x10 (+2 reps)
Decided to stop with the reverse grip bench, isn’t doing it for me, plan on doing extensions and pushdowns instead.
Extensions - 20x20, 70x6, 110x9 (+10 pounds, -4 reps)
Aaaand my elbow’s hurt, ffs. It’s not too bad but I think that’s about it for extensions. I guess dips and pushdowns on chest/tri day, glose-grip and pushdowns on arm day.
Grettiron posted a vid moving very impressive weight…your turn

lol I actually don’t have anything to take a vid with… Maybe I’ll try to figure something out and record when I do a 6 plates/side rack pull in a month or so ;).
I’ll tell you one thing, it certainly won’t be of squats, after watching Grettiron.
