CLEEPERS Reeve's classic physique log

[Squatter]

No doubt about it Chad - your one helluva strong rower which will for sure help your deadlifts. Pull ups also bother my forearm.

Well done buddy!

Wide grip pull ups
Bw +10 lbs x5,3,3. Stopped here as this move really agrivate's my fore arm strain

Reverse grip pull downs
110 x15x3. Thumbless grip to make back do more work
My lat tower makes weight feel heavier then it is. I done these also with slow reps to feel the Lara
Work
These should have been done before dumbbell row but accidentally done them out of order.

Single arm db row
140x10+2 reps
140x8
Check out this video on YouTube:

140x8 dumbbell row - YouTube
140x6

Easy bar curl
70x12x2 sets felt good but stopped at 2 sets to not over do fore arm

Band curls, not sure how much weight it's equal to but I do as many as I can for a pump.
21,15.

Done in 55 minutes
This work out was done fasted with just a Bcaa drink.
Hydromino is the $hit!

Great workout Chad! Strong ass rowing for sure! If pull ups bug your forearms on a regular basis, maybe just this time though, you could try using versa grips or straps, might help. Keep up the strong work Chad!

Thanks guys, I am pretty happy with my back work.
Wide grip pull ups bother my arm but the close grip neutral does not as bad.
I will leave wide grip alone for time being.

Dead lift is coming along but I think it's still a leg strength issue more then a back issue with those. If I can get it off the floor it's goin up. Rack pulls are quite a bit higher then dead lift numbers.

Quad strength never hurts. Build em up Cleep.

[CLEEPER]

Working on it Steve. Maybe I should add in some leverage Machine squats to help build up the quads after all my ATG squats?
Leverage machine seems to be more quad dominant . I have tried front squats and just can not seem to get the hang of it.

Nice to see a vid of the OHP on the leverage machine - looks like a piece of strongman equipment which you can use to overload. Really solid upper body strength just like Rich.

Great work Chad! That's a lot of work my friend, too much for me ! Keep it up!!!

The leverage machine is great for overloading . If I can't finish a set I just lower it down , no big deal. Good overall purchase, wife loves squatting on it and I will be using it soon for squat overload to Try to build more quad strength.

I love volume. I keep it to an hour so I don't think I'm overdoing it but I fit as
Much as I can in without going much over .
