If I said my power came from my ass that wouldn't help, would it?
man.. bad workout today, training 2 days in a row is never a good idea but I have stuff to do this weekend so meh. Someone took my chalk and they filled the gym with selectorized MTS machines over the weekend so there's barely room to move. With the new machines & their summer 'get ripped in 4 weeks' promotion come new douches, and there were hundreds of them packed into the gym.. it was almost like being in an A&F photoshoot, only more annoying.
Incline bench, 225 x 5, 275 x 5, 315 x 3, 315 x 2, 225 x 13
I don't know what to think about this. On the one hand, its good that I'm finally putting up 3 plates on the incline but it still seems the power groove is just not there - off the chest I'm strong but half way up I lose power and stall out. I'm not made for this lift
T-Bar row - This was terrible, I couldn't move my planned 10 rep weight off the floor as my lower back is still fried from yesterday. So I did power shrugs instead
585 x 5, 635 x 5, 675 x 5, 725 x 5, 765 x 3
form was a little sloppy on the last set and my ROM wasnt great but I needed to yank something heavy
Shoulder press, the new Dumbbells were slick and greasy with oil (I shit you not) and with no chalk to make my grip stick I had to use the smith. That sucked
rack pullups 2 sets, again very hard.. my CNS is burned out and my work capacity has taken a hit from my month of DCing.. not the best way for me to train
seated db curls, one light 15 rep set
From now on every set will be done working up to a 4-6 followed by a backdown of 8-12, no post failure training
now I'm going home to sleep

At first glance, I thought you were doing 750+ lb. rows for reps. Jesus H. Christ, you gave me a heart attack. That doesn't go along well with my diabetes shake.Protobuilder

That, and you don't get paid.
It's helpful to hear your comments about CNS, DC, etc. and about how diff't types of training affect you for better or for worse. Maybe you can use some of those new machines to help bring out your gunzz and rear deltzz!

up to 855 on the yoke, followed by 675 for 8

That is friggin hilarious. I love how he's snapping his fingers out of nervousness. What made you ask him of all people?

he's actually a guy I work with who wants to get all swole & stuff
poor fella has the worst genetics you could wish on a person but he won't do 5x5 or anything basic and appropriate for him because after training for 2 years he knows that he ''needs'' more volume, must do isolation cable work to bring out those upper pecs and that 12 sets a bodypart is a minimum.
So I pretty much gave up and left him to his own devices.

How in the hell is he going to have access to your knowledge, and look at himself compared to you in the mirror, and say, “You know, I think I’ll follow my own advice.” LoL Whatever he’s doing apparently isn’t working all that well. What’s he got to lose?
Whatever.
Whatever.

As well as the new equipment to lure in newbs, my gym has a summer promotion on which apparently lets high school kids workout at a reduced rate. I'm all for kids getting off their fat asses and doing some exercise but filling an already packed weight room with chubby HS football players and little douches in do-rags & beaters is just annoying for anyone trying to get a workout in.
workout blah blah, my ipod needs replacing and I couldn't focus what with the fat teenagers waddling around yelling at each other
cybex squat press, worked up to 11 plates/side + a 90lb curl bar on top for 8 (last 2 I am ashamed to admit I put my hands on my knees. I hate doing that, the leg press is gay enough as it is without using your hands)
10 plates/side for 15 (last 4 R-P'd)
ham curls, calf raises with 495 (8,8 + 2 'drive' reps - where I use my legs to drive up and lower slowly & hold in a stretch for 5 seconds after failure's hit)
hammers 90's x 8, 100's x 5
decline situps 45 behind my head 2 x 8
Diet is back to a TCD with carbs only after training as I am feeling bloaty and fat after a weekend of pizza and ice cream
