So, I had to omit a couple workouts already this week due to study priorities, and decided to sort of combine the money exercises from the same muscle groups on the two difft days for each set of groups. So I did legs Tuesday, and today I did back/traps/bi's. Threw in a couple extra blood pump sets for back width/thicknes/traps also.
Got gains once again on pullups and with the bb rows, shrugs, and for some reason, my biceps have never, ever looked this good. Christ, after my wkout just now, I sauntered over to the bathroom mirror as usual to check on things, and I noticed a real improvement in the look of both biceps flexed. The peak was higher and more cut than it has ever been my entire life. So that was pretty cool.
They feel harder than ever before also, now no doubt that’s always the case after a nice pump, but this is notably better than ever. As I said I’m down to 200 even again now. This is showing now in the physique. Anyway, just keep making progress, one day at a time, it’s great!
Here's the numbers today. I suppose it's just about time to put this thread to bed here too. I only have one more week of planned pct after tomorrow. So maybe I'll wing it one more week and then say goodbye. Clear up some space on the forum, lol.
PULL UPS: 3X7. PRONE GRIP
LT: BW/9, BW/7, BW/7.
TT: BW/10, BW/8, BW/7.
BB ROWS SUPINE GRIP: 3X7.
LT: 95/10, 135/7, 155/7, 175/7, 185/7.
TT: 95/10, 135/7, 185/7, 185/7, 175/7.
ADDED BLOOD PUMPS FOR BOTH:
WIDE LAT PULLDOWN: 1X50
70lbs./50.
BB ROWS: 1X50
85lbs/30, stripped to 65/50.
BB SHRUGS: 3X15.
LT: 95/18, 135/15, 185/15, 205/15, 225/15.
TT: 95/20, 185/15, 225/15, 225/15.
REAR LATERAL RAISE: 2X20
5/20, 10/20, 15/20, 15/20.
Now it came down to curls, and I just went with what I did last Tuesday, bb curls and concentration. I was stronger than that day with the concentrations, but weaker than last Friday when I did them after heavy preachers. I think there was some extra bicep fatigue from more pullups, added bb rows, the 50 rep sets on both, etc.
BB CURLS: 3X10
LT: 45/15, 85/10, 90/7, 90/7.
TT: 45/15, 85/10, 90/8, 90/6.
CONCENTRATIONS: 3X10.
LT: 25/10, 30/10, 35/8.
TT: 35/8, 30/10, 30/10.
CONCENTRATIONS FROM LAST FRIDAY:
35/10, 35/(8/9), 30/10.
So didn’t compare to well to this, but this wkout was preceded by preachers, and had less bicep fatigue in the workout prior to biceps being worked. At least I think this is what happened. Might be due to the weight loss, but I think the workout disruption this week, and the two money back exercises, and the 50 reps sets on both took a toll on the stamina of the old biceps today.
So, pull ups are almost where I want them. I can continue to try and get 3x10, or try to just hit reps of 7 with added weight. I think I'll do the latter, as that will lend itself to hitting 3x10 maybe a little faster with bodyweight. Anywho, another good day at the home gym guys. I'm contemplating dropping the volume to 3 days a week for some extra study time for class, as six days is a lot of time. But I don't want to mess up the template that seems to be working so well for me. So I probably will try to keep it at 6 days a week still and hope it works ok with study time and all.
later guys,
