Training Log: Entry 585
Front squats of 265
5,5,4
Notes: Lost my balance on the last rep. Not really an issue of strength, so I don't think I need to hold back on it. Rest times were cut short anyway because I was working in with an 1/8 squatter. Get me away from these mutants.
Weighted dips w/90lbs
3x5
Notes: Need to keep the weights from swaying next time. Cinch them higher maybe? Felt a little strain on the right elbow on the final rep of the last set.
DB rows of 140
3x5
Notes: Right arm is noticably stronger than the left. Might keep the weight for a while to nail the form, or maybe throw in some body english and make them Kroc Rows.
Ab pull downs w/57.5
2x10
Notes: Cables suck compared to bands.
Barbell shrugs of 315
2x10
Notes: Didn't have chalk or straps, and grip was already fried from DB rows and dips and such, so this was pretty stupid. Jump shrugged the last 5 reps of the final set. Figured it'd be nice to feel heavy weight in my hands again after the time off from deadlifts.
do you squeeze the weights with your knees to keep them steady while you do this?
ReplyDeleteI laughed at "mutants". I'm glad that your back is better. You're also lucky that they actually have dumbbells that go that heavy.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do my best to squeeze the plates to keep them from swaying. I'm just using the ironmind dip belt, so there's a lot of room for the weights to hang.
ReplyDeleteThe back is doing pretty good, aside from the occasional twinge. There's still a dull pain, but hopefully it'll go away. And yeah, I was amazed we had DBs up to 150.
