Magnus Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Grip Got a DANG close attempt on the BBE (:beats head off keyboard: ) Anyway, did some reps on the #3, BTR-BFNs on the remounted 300, paused speed reps on the 250, and some high volume drop-set work with the 200, working all the way down till the 100 was tough.

Magnus Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Tuesday, 3/31/09 DB pull-overs 22lb x 2 sets of 8 Oops, that was actually 22lb x 2 sets of 20 reps...not 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 No deads today, just misc leg stuff. Mid-back feels a little tweaked (since Monday night, actually, no clue why)...not bad at all, but I don't wanna make it worse. I'd rather just skip this week out a go heavy again next week than screw something up and get set back. Strangely enough, didn't feel it during yesterdays workout.

Yeah, I've been a little tied up lately (still working on the house)...I'll definitely be up for them as soon as I can, though. And yeah, it's NEPA.

Magnus Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Grip Yesterdays gripper workout wasn't exactly killer, so I did TTK and RT today: TTK: Upside down: 18lb x 2 x 10 13lb x 2 x 20 Regular: A few sets of 10lb x 20 to kill my thumbs Rolling Thunder: Starting the 20-rep routine. Used my steel RT for this one. Harder than the regular RT...rotates like it's on bearings. 131lb x 1 x 20, both hands 131lb x 1 x 20, both hands (had to do rest-pauses in this one to get them all out) 100lb x 1 x 20 reps, both hands Edited April 2, 2009 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thursday, 4/2/09 Feeling out of the groove...kinda low energy all day Dumbbell curls: 66lb x 4 sets of 6 Strict EZbar curls (narrow grip): 108lb x 4 sets of 8 Dumbbell shoulder press: 70lb x 5 x 5 Upright rows: 112lb x 2 sets of 10 (was supposed to be 118lb, misloaded it) Reverse flyes: 32lb x 3 sets of 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Friday, 4/3/09 Narrow grip benchpress w/ EZbar: 172lb x 3 sets of 8 Standing French press: 105 x 3 sets of 10 Rope pull-down burners: 50lb x 3 x 20 Did typical abs/calve crap, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Monday, 4/6/09 Barbell curls: 140lb x 3 sets of 5 Full hammer curls on hammer bar (drop-sets): Set 1 - 102, 92, 86 x 8 Set 2 - 102, 92, 86 x 8 Barbell 21s 84lb, one set. Bench-press: Set 1 - 235 x 3, 235 x 2, 238 x 1 Set 2 - 238 x 3, 244 x 2, 245 x 1 Set 3 - 251 x 3, 261 x 2, 275 x 2 275 is actually my previous 1RM PR, which I did in late February, so to be able to do a double at the end of a heavy workout with it is pretty nice. Can't wait to test my current max. Incline DB press: 90lb x 8 90lb x 6 This is actually a rep shorter than last week, but since I hit the bench so hard today, I don't care. I'm doing RT later, I'll post it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 You serious? I thought everyone knew this Eric Cressey, very knowledgable guy, has written great articles for T-nation and other places: I don't believe in contraindicated exercises, only contraindicated individuals. But if there's one exercise that'll ever push me over the line, it's going to be the upright row. This is as internally rotated as the humerus will get, and you're elevating the humerus right into the impingement zone on every rep. For that reason, I'll never write upright rows into a program. The dumbbell version is a slightly safer alternative, although I feel that there are still much safer ways to challenge the upper traps and deltoids. To summarize, if you've ever had a shoulder problem or are at risk, you'd be wise to omit upright rows altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 RT Used the steel RT again: Left hand: 133lb x 2 x 20 Right hand: 133 x 1 x 20 133 x 1 x 15 TTK 10lb, did a few sets of that 10 full, 10 mini, 10 full reps routine Then some high-rep work after that.
