Training Log: Entry 411
DE lower tody
Speed squats of 195
8x3
Notes: The placement of the bench for a box needs to be way in the rack to get a good squat.
DB split squats of 70lbs per hand
12,10,8
Notes: This is so much more taxing on my grip than my legs, but that's worth building.
Good mornings of 135
10,10,8,8
Notes: Goddamn these are taxing, I was pouring buckets of sweat. I might've been able to power out 2 more reps per the last sets, but I don't wanna risk bad form on this.
Pull-ups
8,8,8,5
Notes: More of the drop rests on the last 2 sets. I found out my grip hasn't been wide enough. Make that a focus next time.
Sparred with my older brother in some boxing rules today. I didn't work on offense at all, as he's too pensive and can't really take a punch, and there's a major weight difference. My movement was really good today, lots of bobbing and weaving, not keeping my hands static, focused on circling (remember to circle away from powerhand). A few body straights (I was taller, so no working on hooks), and not much with my right hand. Did this for a few rounds.
Worked the heavy bag for the first time in 2 weeks. My bag sucks, but it got the job done. Was a lot smoother than before. I think the time off was good. Keep driving with the back leg.
How wide do you grip the bar on pullups?
ReplyDeleteI don't quite know how to quantify that other than "wide grip"
ReplyDeleteI've read that a wide grip doesn't really help to broaden the lats any more than a normal shoulder-width grip. Supposedly it's also bad for the shoulders.But if it works better for you, I suppose it works better.
ReplyDeleteIt helps me get more of a pull in my lats than my hands. It might be psychological, but if it does something, I'll take it.
