Back day
Deads 135x5, 225x5, 315x5, 405x5, 455x5, 500x5 for 3 sets last set dropped to 315 for burnout.
T-bar rows from floor 4x
neutral grip lat pull downs 2x
v bar pull downs 2x last set was a dropset
standing low cable rows 4x
one arm db rows w/ 130lb 4x each arm
cable lat pull overs 2x high reps till failure.

easy cardio after
1 mile run 8:00/mile pace (gotta keep my running up for marine corps)

every workout I do I try to hit the main body part with some heavy compound movement looking to aim for 5 reps ,(as im trying to gain mass atm), then from there ill hit different movements to hit the body part and for those sets i just hit failure. no specific amount of reps. i tend to keep rest periods less than 60 sec keeping intensity lvls as high as possible.

[tgorton2124]

So this was my first bi/Tri day in about 6weeks because of the new split I just started but it was a killer day. Followed my norm heavy movements followed by failure sets to get the pump. Went like this

3x barbell curls
3x seated alternating hammer curls @75lbs till failure
3x curl bar curls each set changed grip from widest to nearest till failure
3x standing arm over incline concentration curls till failure followed immediately by standing zottman curls same arm till failure
4x Weighted dips 3plates sets of 8
4x Tri db kickbacks
4x close grip bench in smith machine

Arms are cooked! Legs tomorrow going for volume ill post tomorrow how many times i chuck from it.

Hope everyone else went after it today.

April 13th here I come.
