Training Log: Entry 552
ME upper
Stritct press
Barx3
95x3
135x3
185x1
235x1
245x1 (New PR)
235x1
185x1
Notes: It was a little bit of a fight, but 245 made it up. Held it at lockout for a little while to enjoy it. Still have good shoulder stability.
2-board press of 265
4x5
Notes: Don't drop the weight onto the board, keep a controlled decent.
Chin-ups
9,5,5,5
Notes: Switched the grip. Been reading a lot about how chins activate the lats just as much as pull-ups. This is messing with me psychologically, but that's between me and my therapists, not the weights. I'll give it a cycle and see how it works out. Should hopefully be a positive experience.
Jump shrugs of 365 w/straps
3x10
Notes: Weight was nice and light today, don't know why, won't complain.
Band face pulls w/a light band
20,15,15,15
Notes: Still tough, despite the light resistance.
are chin ups palms facing you and pull ups palms facing away?
ReplyDeleteThat's how I've always learned it, but I've discovered it to be a regional thing. If you think about it, the names don't really mean a damn thing.
ReplyDeleteChin-up: In both movements, you're putting your chin above the bar.
Pull-up: In both movements, you're pulling yourself up. Haha.
i think the only real difference is just pulling down elbows to the front and pulling down elbows to the side... who knows
ReplyDeleteyea, im far better at "pull ups" than the other, although it used to be the other way around. I havent done "chin" ups in a while, mostly for comfort/flexibility lol
