13/11/02 -

Pretty damn good workout today! Well in one area and not in another

I felt somewhat drowsy when I started the Rows, everything felt heavy, but once I started to sweat up, everything felt fine.
Set PRs, and had good pump.

I changed my bench form as Bfold suggested, tucked the shoulder blades together, felt really stable! Less explosive than before, but I guess its due to nueral changes, in time it will come back. Cuffs felt way better! The bands help off course!
Fried my lats though - for some reason. Made the chins hard as hell!

Got the bands going today with bench presses in my power sets - felt ood - perfect tension, I could thrust the mofo as hard as I wanted and it stuck to my hands!
New Bench form felt great on the cuffs - which normally take a beating on fast stuff


70 Degree Barbell Overhand Grip Rows
Normal set - 230lbs x 5 -
very heavy


Bench Press
Normal Set - 210x5
last rep was very slow

Paused Set + doubled choked purple bands - 3 to 4 sec pause at the bottom
185x3 - FAILED! I didn't get a spotter on this set, underestimated the band resistance - had to roll the bar down my body


Weighted Chins on a power rack
1x5 30lbs
Ass heavy! Lats were really tired from rows and benching. one rep down but weight up from last session


Weighted Towel chins
1kg x 6
Grip is definitely going up!

2 personal records for me tonight.

I weigh 148

Deadlifted 4 sets of 5 of 205, then on the last set I pulled up 205 for 10 reps!!!! I could barely walk after that.

Then I busted out 8 reps with the 60 lb DBs in bent over rows, I usually use 50s or 55s.

High Bar Full Olympic Back Squats - No belt and rock bottom
250lbs x3

4th rep was too slow of the bottom dumped it into the pins
Much higher overall bar speed than last session

Paused Set - 4 sec pause at bottom
225lbs x3

Romanian Deadlifts
195lbs x6

18/11/02

High Bar Full Olympic Back Squats - No belt and rock bottom
255lbs x 3

Romanian Deadlifts
210lbs 3 x 6

Overhead squat
95x3
made possible by these Adidas Oly shoes

Speed Sets today for the full Oly squat had purple bands hooked up to the bar,anchored around a 25lb plate with a 45 sitting on top, bands going through hole of the 45. Worked great!

The bar had no tension right at the bottom of a full oly Squat, but as soon I move it an inch or more the bands kicked in. I can slam the bar hard (and I had too) and the bar didn't budge off my back at all.

I used 135 lbs and it felt pretty heavy. I could stretch the bands up to the bar by hand no problems.

Also pushed more through the heel now, that seem to activate the hamstrings much more. The stability of the new Adidas Ironwork weightlifting shoes I got is pretty damn good!
