1/17: Stupid Swole

It was just Big J and I tonight, but we made the best of it by getting pretty silly.  Getting a pump is fine so long as you’re covering your bases and getting your work done on the main lifts.  That’s exactly what we did today.

a1) Squat 225 x 5, 245 x 5, 285 x 5

a2) Chin Ups 8, 8, 8

Close-Grip Bench Press 285 x 3, 315 x 1

b1) Lying Tricep Extension 65 x 10, 85 x 10, 105 x 10, 125 x 10, 155 x 1

b2) Inverted Row BW x 10, 10, 10, 10

Fat DB Curl + Press 30’s x 10 + 10 curls (10 curl and press then 10 curls = 1 set) x 3

Fat DB Lateral Delt and Rear Delt Raises 10’s x 20 each x 3 sets

 

I really should be good for 285 x 6 on the close grip bench press, so that was disappointing.  I feel as strong as ever, but I’m just not able to display my strength for multiple reps on the pressing movements.  I still think this is a result of putting the bar on my back every session.  It’s fine.  I’ll be a better rugger for it.

It’s fun on occasion to just do things until you can’t lift your arms;  takes you back to high school.  Post your training!
