High rep/ partial rep log

[themondtster]

Day1-

Squats145#(8*8)4*8,4*6
(Fast with slight pause at top, below parallel 4" off ground, 90-120 sec. Rest between sets.)

BB bench- 185#(10*3).

Dips- BW 3*10

Want to add incline press and either shoulder press or close grip bench just ran out of time, had to go to work. Doing the Squats really wooped my arse. Haven't felt a good sore muscle in a while.

Day2

Deadlift-225#8*8(60-90sec rest)

pendlay row-155#10*3(30-60 sec rest)

upright row- 35#DB 3*10

lat pulldown(machine)- 130#3*10

preacher curl- 65#CB 3*10

Pullups-2*4

Deadlifts got my heart racing...good burn. Overall felt like a good workout. Didn't have much left for Pullups. Maybe next week.

doesnt 10x3x185 feel way light for bench? I mean it's good to start low but if your max is 240x1 it seems like you should be doing at least 200 or so 10x3. Great workouts though

yeah partials are awesome for building strength at the movement. After doing a lot of them your normal weights will feel like nothing

Yeah I hope that's how this works out. Use the volume to put in some size, work my muscles and joints good and help improve my form and the partials to build some good strength.
