Training Log: Entry 469
Deadlifts of 395
5,5,5,3,3
Notes: Grip was slipping. Need to stop doing gripper work the day before deadlifts. Need to also buy chalk. Might move the weight up. I can blast the early sets just fine, grip is the only thing holding me back.
Overhead press of 185
5,3,3,2,3
Notes: Little too far back lean on these sets. Was pretty blasted from deadlifts, and fatigued carried over here. Next time should be fine.
Low pulley rows of 140
5,5,5,5,5
Notes: As usual, I'm starting a new cycle on my back work. Form was sacraficed for weight, and have been doing a little more reading on proper form for rows. Pinching shoulder blades together really helped, as did visualization. Really felt the pull in my lats.
What works for me on the rows is trying to pull with the elbows rather than the hands.
ReplyDeleteAnd your comment about the 3x5 below makes sense. And hey, if you're making gains, who the hell cares!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been pulling with the elbows for a while, but leaning back a little too much on the row. Thanks for the tip though.
ReplyDeleteNo probs. What are the low pulley rows exactly?
ReplyDeleteSeated rows using a cable pulley that's close to the ground.
ReplyDeleteI'm really proud of your progress. While you're at work I'll try to get some chalk for you. Thanks for all your help. I'm almost to my squat goal!!!! Love you!
