Elbows a bit but they were already a tad niggly. Good for sweating while I’m so in proficient with the movement yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I think it may be a wrist strength issue for me. I look at the armwrestlers and guys that can do a lot on plate curls, and most seem to swing above their weight on thick bar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 February 5, 2019 Before Supper Week 3. Upped the weight on the releasers this week.

Shoggoth Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 February 9, 2019 Afternoon Week 2 of the bench assistance and a deload deads day mash-up. On a side note, going through my online journals I see a direct correlation between being at a lighter BW and having better thick bar and pinch numbers. Apparently my chubby mitts don’t help. Kept the weight down on the dumbbell presses to drill form. I’ve been doing a lot of dislocate work daily since last Saturday. I’ll hit some more now too as my shoulders are warmed up. Front Squat WU to 120k x 2 x 5r Plate W 2.5k x 3 x 20r Spoto Bench wu to 112.5k x 6 x 4r DO Axle Dead wu to 288 x 3 x 1/2/2r Seated DB Press w/o Support 50e x 3 x 10r NG Chin Cluster 276.4 x 5-3-2-2=12r 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO Axle Clean 173 x 1 - easy but oogy on the wrist so I stopped. Should’ve put bumpers on too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 February 12, 2019 Before Supper Week 4. Amazing how much adding those deloaders taps my rep strength. I’ll back off next week then start another cycle of RBBP. Plate W 2.5k ea x 3 x 25r Bench Press wu to 110k x 2 Add weight releasers 110/115/117.5/120/121k + 36.4k x 5r CS Row 215 x 3 x 12r Chain Fly 3c ea x 3 x 12r Band Pressdowns Avr x 5 x 14r DB Hammer Curl 50e x 3 x 8r Saxon Bar 2HP wu to 185 x 3/3/5 - 155 x 10r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
