Yeah haven't been using either lately. I think i am going to start using straps though because i have a feeling my reverse grip may be the cause to my back problems and i train grip anyway so not worried about that.

Forgot to update last friday. Did a crappy leg workout. Did some squats sets of 8 working up to 315. Then did some extensions, curls and calf raises and called it a day, quick 45min workout.
Today however, was THE most BRUTAL workout i have ever done. I worked out with a guy that i used to bounce with who also works at my gym. He is a bodybuilder but has insane strength, size and i just a crazy ass guy. I probably wont remember everything exactly but you will get the jist of how brutal this was. He was trying to get me to puke the whole time because i told him i never get sick, i didn't but i did get light headed a few times and when we moved onto bi's i had the worst pain in my arms i have ever experienced in my whole life.
Incline DB Bench -
50lbs x 10 to warm up
70lbs x10
100lbs x10, x7, x6, x5
Rest between sets was minimal, no more then 1min. After the first set of 10 with the 100 i was being helping on most reps after 3-4. Not to bad until we got to the next exercise, mind you i was already spent after this and huffing and puffing like a mad man. Took a break for a drink which was maybe 2 mins.
Incline BB Bench -
95lbs x20 reps 3 or 4 sets i cant remember but after the first set everything was on fire, out of breath, etc. 2nd set even more so. After about 5 reps on the 2nd set i basically was doing nothing and he was rowing the weight up with 1 hand. I'm not sure how many sets we did because i was about to pass out after each one, i still dont know how he forced me to do 20 each time becuase after about 10 i was ready to give up. After this i could not move my arms at all, spotting him was next to impossible.
Chest press machine -
100lbs x20 3-4 sets again
same deal except these were not as bad since he let me actually rest between exercises this time.
Pec Flys on machine -
70lbs x30
110lbs x20, x20
130lbs x10
i may have missed a set but i think that was about right. He made me squat the whole time and not sit on the seat which made them even harder.
After this i was ready to die but then it was time for BICEPS!!!!! WOO FUCKING HOO! lol
DB Curls -
25lbs x15
30 sec rest (or so he claimed, felt more like 2 seconds before he was screaming to pick up the next dumbbell)
30lbs x15
30sec rest
35lbs x15
30sec rest
40lbs attempted but could not even move my arms at this point, on the last 2 sets i kept dropping down to the ground panting from being out of breath and in pain only to have him slap me and say get up, finish them. Dropped down to 30lbs and did 15 by some act of god.
Now this is where i experianced the most pain i have ever felt. We were walking over to do ez curls and my forearms and bis were so pumped and burning so bad i couldnt even stand up, i couldnt close my hand, move my arms and was basically just squirming in pain while they laughed at my and hoped i puked (which i did not
) I was done after this but he some how conviced me to do 3 more sets of machine dips for 20 reps.
Machine Dips -
180lbs i believe x20 3 sets
And to top it off this was all done straight from the chiropractor! Good news is nothing is wrong with my spine like a messed up disc or something, i just have some really deeps muscle knots so i gotta go back 2-3 more times and get some painful deep tissue and stretching shit done and i will be good to go.

Great post BK. Makes me realize what a lazy mofo I am. Needs to get me a motivated training partner like yours.

Was planned to workout back today but thats def. not happening. I could not sleep at all last night from the pain my shoulders are in and my back. Everything is sore and tight as fuck so looks like i need at least another day to recover.

Another crazy day with that guy. I literally was in the worst pain of my life all last week after that chest workout. I thought i tore both my shoulders and my forearms thats how bad the pain was. Now, after this workout that doesnt look that bad, everytime i try to walk i collapse to the ground if im not still legged and walking like i have a pole up my ass.

Hack squats are underrated imho. I do them the same way- all the way down. Hits them on a plane not normally worked and can make your quads blow out, esp. with high reps and intensity. Good for supplemental work when you have the need to do just a little bit more.
Me too, anything above 10-12 reps becomes boring to me, eventually the body gets better conditioning and tolerance, but I can't get past the fact that high reps aren't fun to me.
