Thanks, but that's hard to believe. You squat much more than me, and I'm not particularly good with reps.

Thanks, Rob.

Bench Press, Paused: 3 sets of 3 with 255 (belt)

^ Another PR for triples, like last week. I'll be testing my 1RM next week.

- I was forced to lift-off for myself because there wasn't anyone at the gym who I knew, but it still went well, and without too much difficulty. None of 'em were grinders.

-- After this, I didn't use the Sling Shot because a lift-off/spotter is crucial, and like I stated above, I didn't have anyone for that today.


Medium Incline Dumbbell Bench Press: 2 sets of 9 with 90s


One-Arm Grenade Pulldown: 2 sets of 8, each arm, with 90


JM Press w/ Fat Gripz: 2 sets of 7 with 135

^ I was reading that the FG is easier on the elbows, so I tried this new variation of the JMP with 'em on the bar. Definitely felt more comfortable and there was less irritation around the lateral epicondyle. I was able to use the same weight, and even got a slight PR (7,7 up from 7,6).


Kneeling Rollout w/ Short Bar: 3 sets of 5 with 60


Dumbbell Windmill: 3 sets of 3, each arm, with 70








12.13.12


Forward Sled Drag: 170, 125, 80, 45

^ Nothing too heavy. Went for longer distance than usual. Calves were burning even with these moderate and light weights.


Backward Sled Drag: 45 (sled + 10)

^ Finished the day with this variation, but very light.

- I'm adding some sled work for cardio, extra calf work, and recovery between squat & dead sessions.

Thanks, but that's hard to believe. You squat much more than me, and I'm not particularly good with reps.

I'm horrible with reps. Most I've hit with 405 is 8.

The weasel strikes again! Nice work DW.

Beast mode. You're motivation for us lighter weights! Keep it up! I wanna be as strong as you when I grow up...

Thanks!

Just be consistent with your training. Don't miss workouts. You'll get there.

I bet you can do at least 10 with 405 now.

Power Hang Snatch: 4 sets of 2 with 99


Deadlift w/ Short, Mini Bands: 1x1 with 495, 515, 535 (last one was a 40lb PR), then 1 set of 6 with 405


Lying Leg Curl: 6,6,5 with 190


Seated Face Pull w/ Fat Gripz On Rope: 3 sets of 8 with 60


Short-Bar Curl w/ Fat Gripz: 8,7,6 with 80


Short-Bar Reverse Curl w/ FG: 6,5 with 60

^ This was a little too heavy.


Seated Tibialis Raise: 1 set of 15, each leg, with 35

^ I didn't do calves today, only the front of the lower leg, because they were worked during the sled drags.

[BendtheBar]

Congrats on the deadlift PR.

[RobMoriRB]

Solid w/o with a heavy ass PR keep it up max

[DieselWeasel]

Thanks, guys.




12.17.12


Jump Squat: 2 sets of 4 with 275

^ 1-rep PR for each set.


Front Squat: 2 sets of 2 with 275 (no-belt PR)

^ 1-rep PR for each set.

- I was thinking about maybe doing a couple of singles after those two doubles, but my hands were hurting from holding the bar in the clean position, and I'm attempting a 1RM bench soon, so I stopped after the 2x2.

-- In the video, you can see a fat personal trainer glaring at me when I rack the weight, at the end of the first set. LOL


Good Morning w/ Arched Back + Straight Legs: 3 sets of 10 with 225


Angled Leg Press: 9,8,7 with 873 (770 + sled)


Standing Calf Raise: 13,12 with 295


Seated Tibialis Raise: 12,11, each leg, with 45
