Training Log: Entry 674

RE upper

Medium grip bench press of 205+chains
13,7,5,4

Notes: Tried an experiment to hit failure at a lower rep range in the hopes that I could stay in that range on consistant sets.  Experiment failed, still bombing out in the low end of the single digits on following sets.  Maybe the chains are the culprit.  I'm gonna take the weight down next session.

3-board press of 255
3,5,6

Notes: Haven't used the 3 board in prolly a year, just getting the feel for it.  It's a lot more natural than it used to be, and I actually feel stronger here than before.  Chains may have helped.  I've eliminated chains from the board press because I realized that the shorter ROM dictates less chain deload, which means I'm not really getting much out of them.

Mini band front raises
4x12

Notes: Used a thumbless grip to keep the band from rotating.  Left shoulder is a little twitchy.

Chins w/25lbs
10,10,10,5, 3(no weight)

Notes: Going to cut off the weight and just go for an absurd amount of reps next time.  Feel that the weight is putting a bit too much strain on my joints and ligaments.

Hammer curls w/35lbs (alternate)
3x8

Notes: Twist the right wrist away to keep the shoulder from clicking.

Trap bar shrugs of 225
15,12

Notes: Just some upper back work

 

Back has been in pain on certain movements past few days.  Need to watch my pre-hab.
