Training Log: Entry 800

RE upper pull

DB rows of 135
15,10,6,6

Notes: Finger is healing up pretty well, grip still a little tricky.

Weighted dips w/110
3x3

Notes: I should really invest in elbow sleeves sometime.

Chins
11xBW +3w/mini
6xBW +4w/mini
2x5xBW +5w/mini

Notes: A little confusing, but I was really cranking the unassisted chins well.  Got a great lat and arm pump.

Seated press of 105
3x8

Pushdowns of 90 superset w/cable curls of 70
13/11, 11/8

Notes: Still a little touch of the flu, felt like I was gonna explode on the curls.

Training Log: Entry 799

RE squat

SSB box squat of 265
12,10

Notes: Think I have a touch of the flu, just feeling sickly and sweaty during these past few workouts.  Still hit a PR, but kept volume low.

Trap bar lifts of 365
3x5

Front squats of 175
1x15


Packed it in after that.  My high volume phase is next week, so the rest works.

Training log: Entry 798

RE upper push

NG DB press of 60
15,8,6

Notes: Maybe too big a weight increase.  Might try for just 5lb per DB next time.

DB rows of 150
8,8,6,6

Notes: So this is a much bigger PR than I thought it would be.  It usually happens when I forget to check my log and just go by what I'm capable of.  Don't know what I'm going to do when this becomes light.

Medium grip bench press of 195
8,7,8

Notes: The pain in my finger is still making it hard to get a decent grip on the bar.  Getting a big chest pump from this.

Lat pulldown of 160*
4x10

Training Log: Entry 797

RE upper pull

Pull-ups w/10lbs
11,11,10,10

Notes: Amazingly I've sustained a bowling injury to my middle finger.  Some sort of reptitive motion injury.  Aside from preventing me from properly informing people that the powerrack is not the place to do curls, it limits my gripping strength, so these kinda sucked.  Still made progress though.  This new routine allows me to add both weight and reps every week, it's incredible.

Strict press of 175
3,3,4

Notes: Remember elbows up.

Straight bar rows of 160
4x10

Notes: Didn't touch chest a lot, but stressed what I needed to.  Work on the arch.

Dips w/25lbs
10,10,8

Notes: Refocused on pressing with the palm/blade of my hand rather than the fingers.  Something I learned from Beyond Bodybuilding.

Light band pushdowns
45,30

Notes: Couple of chuckleheads occupying the cable rack, so I did this.  Still got a good pump.


Training Log: Entry 796

RE squat

SSB box squat of 265
2x10

Elevated trap bar lifts of 345
5,5,10

Notes: Mighta had 15 in me for the last set, but I'm still recovering from the high volume so I'm taking things light.

Front squats of 155
1x20

Notes: Fell backwards on rep 13 and dumped on the pins, but I just zerchered it back up and resumed squatting once I re-racked.

Average band pulldowns
1x150

Light band pull throughs
30,15,15,15

Notes: I think the ab work before the PC work is really going to help my ability for my hips to recover.
