Chins

4 sets of 5 reps with 7,5kg

Dumbbell Rowing

4 sets of 5 reps with 30kg

Shrugs On Incline Bench

0 sets of 0 reps with 0kg - gym was already closed :trout

The gymnastics I have to do for my spinal health got me down mentally, so I dumbed my light upper body day and spread the heavy day to two days. That's the nice thing about having a light day, you can drop it with no regrets.

I will do my overheadsquats really easy for the next weeks.

Besides that I'm aiming for:

bench 65kg x 5 (57,5kg done this week)

press 47,5kg x 5 (40kg done this week)

chins 15kg x 5 (deadhangish now)

dumbell rowing 34kg x 5

in 3 weeks.

shrugs on incline ? I have to get 2 5kg plates to make reasonable progress.

I will trade wide grip shrugs for shrugs with hipthrust.

Swiss Grip Comp

What a nice competition!

David did a very good job organizing that event, met some very nice guys there.

I did better than I expected on the fat dumbbell and the little big horn.

Bad thing: I strained my back on the ride to switerland and couldn't do the farmers hold.

I attempted it, but I felt just pain when I tried to lift the weights.

5/1/2006

35# Blob

I played around with it and managed several full deadlifts righty and a 5" hoover lefty.

I really didn't expect it that short after the swiss grip comp.

Grippers

righty

# 1: 8x, 10x, 9x

lefty

#1: 3x, 4x, 2x

Fingerextensions

withe x 20

blue x 20

Probably not very smart to grip 2 days after a comp...

Focused on speed here, it's strange how much more difficult cleans get, if u add only a slight amount of weight.

Don't know if others expience that as well.

Just for fun: 1 armed Jerks with 2.25" db

24kg x two singles with both arms, I struggled with form lefty

26,5kg x as above

29kg x as above

31,5kg 1 x R 0 x L

I reduced poundages in the deadlift by 20kg, all other exersizes by about 10kg, I will work back 5kg a week in the deadlift and 2,5kg everthing else.

I will cut down one workset per week, and do 2 worksets for the last weeks.

Depending on how I feel I'll increase weights for 6 or 7 weeks.

Man I lost a bunch of overheadstrength, still hopeing for a bodyweightpress this year.

I've lend Superstrength from the university library, hadn't time to read in it yet.

I have a new longtermgoal, one arme jerk of bodyweight, I think I'll can do 40kg in a few weeks.

I have done a one arm pushpress of 34kg both arms a few days ago, so I guess it's mainly a formthing.

Thanks Theo!

You should try Kaz, makes your traps burn and you are done in 3 sets. Eli72 put them here on the board, and he does them with 180k.

First, 1 set of then with snatch grip, then change hands to shoulder width, then to hands against eachother. Do this as one set all for 10 reps.

Do 3 sets, and your traps will be sore like hell! Try them, let me know if you like it.

Add 2,5lbs for the collar to all weights if u wish. Strange but true my wrists feel better if i do this exercise with straight arms, I rest my wrists above my head to get more ROM.

Upper back and Chest will be done tomorrow.

I'm following Big Paul's big arms routine, I just added upper back work on chest day, cause my upper back is defenately a weak point of mine.

Ok I added Shrugs on pulling day, and my leg day is a bit different cause I don't have leg machines and squating with an axle hurts my shoulders (I don't have a normal sized barbelle yet).Hm I also added push presses and jerks on shoulder day... But besides that, it's still the same.
