Back Night ... Felt SOLID

[Citruscide]

Not too much varied with the weights I did this week on my Back workout... but I felt ALOT MORE solid doing them, and believe I will move up next week on just about everything.

Barbell Rows Warmup Bar, 135x12

225x10, 265x10, 295x5, 315x4 (Got 3 last week I think) -- these felt SUPER solid... went up nicely.

Deadlifts Warmup 135x10
225x1,265x1,295x1,315x1,345x1,365x1,395x1 (didn't attempt 405)

LatPulldowns 3 sets, stack, stack+45x2
Cable Rows 2 sets stack
-------
Biceps

Dumbell curls 5x5 50lbs
Cross Body Hammers 60lbs x20
hanging concentration curls 40lbsx15 DB
Reverse Curls 100lbs x 10 for 2 sets

Ever think of trying some face pulls?

No, but now I'm interested... VIDEO PLEASE!

good numbers, man you just keep going higher on reps or numbres with your rows. You'll get the deadlift no prob next week

 

[t3c]

These are face pulls with a band. You can do them with a lat pull down machine too. Get a triceps strap and try to pull it apart as you pull towards your face

Who's the chick? If that is Spatts... well... heh... naughty naughty citruscide...

yeah it is, that was taken from the AR thread

Actually, these are the face pull pics of spatts:

 

[b fold the truth]

I do mine standing (can't sit down on my pull down attachment) and I have found that everyone has a different spot on their head that when they pull to it...they feel it in the 'right' place.

Do a light weight...say 25-50 reps...and pull to your throat, chin, nose, eyes, and forehead...maybe even higher. You will find the spot that hits your upper back, neck, and rear delts. I sometimes do sets of 50, mostly 25...and been adding in some sets of 15 with 15-30 sec rest between sets (usually 2-4 sets).

Spatts -- you aren't bad looking.

Solid workout dude. You definitely did 3 for the record last week bc I reading it. lol

 

[Lord_Suston]

damn it citrus, I am going to catch up to you.
hit 405 for 4 on deads and 245 for 8 on bentover rows

 

[jesus 2]

how big are your arms spatts?
and C, why are you not doing pullups instead of pulldowns?

 

[makedah]

Another vote for face pulls. I LOVE THEM. I do them weekly, 2 sets of 8-10. I sit on the floor in front of a pulley set about a foot off the floor. I use the rope attachment, and pull toward my chin/neck (easiest on my elbows, that way, too). I'm really feeling stronger in my rear delts and upper back.

 

[spatts]

How big? Like biceps flexed or cold or something?

Standard measurement would be cold... that's how I usually measure them

C-ditty

 

[spatts]

14" cold. I have no idea if that's good or bad. It's mostly tricep. lol

 

[mikey297]

SOLID is the right word man. Feels great when you find you don't have to struggle that much with the weights and can concentrate more on form and getting the burn.

Good work!

That's pretty good I guess??? Heh... Arms are over-rated in my opnion... of course, I can say that because mine are a paultry 17-17.5" ...

C-ditty

 

[spatts]

Yeah...let's talk quads so I can feel better.

 

[Citruscide]

Quads... I should get a re-measure on those...

C-ditty

[spatts]

let me just say the only reason i hae any quads at all is because theses legs had to carry around my lard ass for years before i started training.

Now... you are talking about your ass???? Hey, I guess compared to others I don't have quads... but with these wheels I ran a 4.5 40m and jumped 7' in high jump... so they can't be all that bad.
