Training Log: Entry 478

ME lower

Good mornings
3xbar
3x95
3x135
3x185
2x225
1x245
1x265
1x275

Notes: Never performed GMs for Max Effort before, but didn't have enough weight to really ME anything else.  Could have gone heavier, but wanted to keep form sharp here.  Had wife check to make sure I wasn't going half of my ROM.

SLDLs of 275
3x8, 1x5

Notes: High volume and short rest times are killing me.  Decided to ease into it here, and keep the weight relatively light.  Keep form tight, even on light weight.  Too much rounding.

Side bends w/75lbs
3x8, 1x4

Notes: Same as above, don't want to fry myself in the first week.  Entire core is destroyed.

Captains of Crush #2
10x3 per hand

Notes: Nothing really spectacular here.  New knurling on bar is shredding my hands, but after the first set I felt fine.

  2. I got a guy in my gym that can GM 330 for triples.  Big ass competitive powerlifter.

  3. Now that you have a home gym, you need either a) a high paying job, or b) know a kick ass welder and have him make you a cambered bar. Those make good mornings so much more effective since you dont have to worry about the bar rolling up your neck. And if you are a good carpenter you can build yourself a platform for everything. And if you are not, then you can just screw a bunch of large sheets of plywood on top of each other (but alternating directions).

  4. Ignore the above advice. I followed it step-by-step and it didn't produce a platform at all. It made a fanciful, old-fashioned mahogany rocking chair with a gloss finish. Wasted my time.Sweet good mornings. Hopefully, you get your power rack soon.

  5. Yaay for us.  The power rack should be on its way and we will be all set.  Keep up the good work.  Love you!
