mobsterone Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 [b]Friday[/b] @ Powerhouse. The plan was 'see what happens'. If nothing else seeing what effect the Pneumonia has had on my numbers. We (Ken and and Chris) flew along on the bench press only slowing down when we got close to max numbers. That said it went well [u]Close Grip Bench Press[/u] to 185kg x 1 rep [u]Iso-Mid Row (Hammer style machine)[/u] to 120kg a side x 6 reps @ [u]MiraFit 60mm Rolling Handle[/u] to set up + 80kg x 3 x 3 reps @ hand Bwt: 317lbs (filling up on loads of carbs the last few days) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 [b]Monday[/b] Held back a little as I'm still lacking in 'wind'.

Straight to 100kg/220lbs x 8 reps, 180kg/396lbs x 5 reps @ [u]Lying Leg Curls[/u] 4p x 8 reps, 8p (down from a planned 9) x 4 reps (more there) [u]Leg Extensions[/u] 1/2 stack x 8 reps, stack x 4 reps (more there) Bwt: 315lbs (eating well enough so...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 [b]Thursday[/b] @ Powerhouse. Still a bit lacking in gas noticed when walking to the gym.

I assume a bent wrist can be used to start the lift. Just curious as I’ve never used one and signed up for a grip comp next month where it’s an event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
