Recommended Posts

Today's work:

KBPresses: 103# R: 3 x (1,2,3), L: 2 x (1,2,3), (1,2) < was supposed to do 4 x (1,2,3), but I was pretty tired today, and shoulders are a bit smoked from earlier in the week. Need to push this out to Saturday next time.

DBRows: 90# in plates, 5 x 17 <rep PR for this weight

15 min nap

DLs: 440#, Sumo, Oly, 5, 3, 2 < PR for this weight

Guess you can't PR on everything....

Training TNS and CCS, and thickbar got me over that #3 hump. I think you'll be surprised how fast it can progress if you can already deep set a #3.

yeah, although the weird thing is with all the wrist stuff and grip stuff I do, I still felt a weird pop in my left wrist DL'ing yesterday. nothing painful today, just mild soreness. I think maybe it has something to do with the sup/pro rom in that wrist.



I'm slowly trying to train up my ccs, but still keep the mms strong. The 2.5 ccs on the right hand is getting more consistent.

Jedd gave me a bunch of exercises to do to fix my sup ROM as he's recently fixed his. It's helping quite a bit. I can grab change at the drive through at least now hahaha!

Today:

Bench: 135# x 10, 185# x 5, 225# x 5, 245# x 5 < big PR for me. Back around '96, I tore my right pec attempting 245# for 5 reps. No pain at all this time.

Zercher Squats: bar x 20, 90# x 15 < halted cuz my erectors started locking up. I was going lower than I normally do, because my strength & ROM are improving due to the belt squats. Need to do Z squats more often with this new ROM.

KB Snatches: 53#; 36:36; 16 reps/int; 12 intervals

Overall, very happy with the work today in the time I had.

Thanks Jason! It's pretty good to know that the body can repair itself this well. To be honest, I was under the impression for many years after the tear, that I shouldn't even bother bar benching anymore.

Much respect Martin. Nailing that PR after a big injury, years later, has to feel good!

Yesterday:

KB band bench: 115# + two 35# kbs, 4 x 10, varied grip between wide, regular, and narrow

PU Partials: BW + 22# 5 x 8, these were a lot closer to actual pull-ups, since I went with a wider grip, which bothered my elbows less

Rack Pulls off the 2nd pin: 315# x 5; 405# x 5; 495# x 3, 545# x 3, 565# x 1, miss < not bad considering I haven't done these in like 2 months

Belt squats: 45# x 20, 90# x 20, 135# 4 x 10 < went easy on these today

2HP: 70# in plates x 10, 125# in plates 3, 4, 3, 4, 2 < felt kind of burned out from all the stuff earlier in the day. Particularly rack pulls.

Today:

Band speed benches: 135# + grey mini bands, 4 x 6 with various grip widths

Today:

KBPress: 103# 4 x (1,2,3) <- Huge PR. I think that moving KBPresses from Fri to Sat helped quite a bit.

PUs: BW+22#, wider grip, 9,9,9,9,8 < full ROM again - thanks to trying the wider grip, still using straps so as to not burn out my grip for grip stuff later in the day

Grippers: #1filed: 10rbh, mms; #2filed; 3 rbh, mms; #2.5; 2 rbh, mms; #3 (149#): 1 rbh, mms; #3 Filed (157.3): Right - missed by 1mm, Left - missed by a lot - bad set. This 157.3 is filed on both handles. Got it from John McCarter.

Belt Squats: 45# x 20; 90# x 20; 135# 2 x 10; 185# 2 x 10

2HP: (weight in plates) 70#: 10 reps, 130#: 6 x 2

Been a while since I've posted my workouts....

Here's tonight's fun:

Bench: 135# x 10, 185# x 5, 235# x 5, 255# x4 < might have made 5 on the last set, but I don't have a spotter, only bailout bars on the power cage.

Zercher Squats: bar x 20, 95# x 20, 135# x 15, 155# x 10 < these never fail to amaze me how different they are from back squats.

DB Presses: 90# in plates, bh, 5 x (1,2,3)

I will just say that I think Zercher squats are really an abdominal exercise, not a leg exercise.
