Rows keep going up, nice. How did 195 squatting feel? I still get anxious getting under the bar, I don't know what it is about that damn lift

Nice rowing, PB....you're one of the few people I know whose rows are actually up to snuff.

Nice rowing, PB....you're one of the few people I know whose rows are actually up to snuff.

Thanks. For one reason or another, my lats seem decently strong. Now if I could just add 100 pounds to my squat and deadlift, I'd be doing ok.

Jim & Carlsuen: thanks for stopping by guys!

Week 10, Sat. (workout 3)

Push Press

3x7x131
9x95

Front Squat

2x8x135
6x135

Deads

5x5x255

Close grip Bench

12x135
8x135
6x135
5x135

Out of town workout. Bar felt a little diff't and didn't have a rack so cleaned everything from the floor. First time my wrists have ever bothered me during fronts. And that weight felt heavy on push press and fronts. LoL Ah well, got some reps in.

On a positive note, this was the first time I've done close grip bench w/ my hands about 16" apart. For the first time ever, I felt my chest going nuts during bench. Usually I get a ton of shoulder work from flat pressing but going narrow seems to actually innervate my chest pretty thoroughly, and I get to use my tris which are decently strong. After this cycle, I'll definitely add in close-grips and see what happens. Bench has always pissed me off b/c my chest never really grows much from it. Maybe this will be a nice change.

16" is about the proper 'close-grip'.....I never understood the clowns with their hands touching, then wondering why they have carpal tunnel syndrome, lol.....I love close grips.....also, I noticed what works for me when I want tit growth, is to add in some dumbell work (the angle doesn't matter) twice a week.

 

[Jim Ouini]

Nice close gripping. In my earlier, stupider days I did the hands touching thing and not only did it bug the hell out of my wrists, my weights were severly limited.

Now my middle finger is where the knurling starts on my bar.

 

[The Shadow]
