Magnus Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Thursday, 11/12/09 Seated barbell strict press: 65 x 10 Normal 65 x 10 Wide 65 x 10 Narrow 118 x 10 174 x 6 197 x 5 - thought it was 200...dang it, I hate when that happens. Strict DB side raises: 40 x 10 40 x 10 40 x 10 Reverse flyes: Tied a band in between the two dumbbells. No idea how much resistance it added. Maybe 10lb or so at the most. 40 x 12 40 x 12 Body fat is going down, body weight is staying the same, and numbers are going up. Good sign.

Magnus Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 you know bullitt can count really well maby he can help u out Frank I was just bustin his balls too Rico Lol. You think that by this point, I'd remember to double check the weight when going for milestone lifts. I really wanted to break 200 tonight, but instead I had to settle for stinking 3lb less. Ergh.

Magnus Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) Reverse grip hang cleans. Pretty much everything I do before breaking the 200s is pretty decent, then I do heavy cheats after that. Strict is around 160ish. Haven't 1rm strict in a while. Actually, the first 3 or 4 reps of my last sets of 140 were pretty dang strict. Edited November 17, 2009 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday I did some axle holds for time and dumbbell rows, yesterday was 2hp, TTK and grippers. I've been doing 2hp with extra weight on the thumb side.

Magnus Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Did some core-bracing exercises tonight as well: Plate 1 - General Tso's chicken, chicken & garlic, pork fried rice, lo-mein, fried shrimp, walnut chicken, crispy chicken, seafood delight, 3 crab rangoons Plate 2 - Chicken and garlic, walnut chicken, chicken and broccoli, seafood delight, fried rice, fried shrimp, teriyaki chicken-on-a-stick, more crab rangoons. Space was compromised due to protein shakes ingested prior to, uh, workout. Edited November 26, 2009 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Been kinda slack on my grip work lately. Last night I did a bunch of #3.5 and BBE closes, and finished off with some #3 reps. One of the BBE closes was a long, knurling-grinding overcrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thursday, 12/4/09 Woke up with a nasty sore throat today, so wasn't planning on doing any lifting, but got the urge to go for a new max dead. 214 x 2 264 x 1 314 x 1 364 x 1 414 x 1 500 x 1 - PR! Felt really, really good. Perfect form all the way up. Looks like it was worth the attempt after all. And, my knee didn't bother me once, which I'm really happy about.
