Training Log: Entry 2137


Axle bench
5xAxle
5x75
5x115
5x165
5x205
5x235
15x265
19x205


Notes: That 15 isn't exact.  I had the rep past the hard point, then misgrooved it, wobbled, and dropped it on the pins, but I don't consider that a strength issue.  Wasn't feeling like a great pressing day, but sufficient.


Low incline DB press
2x5x105
20x50
15x50
10x50


Notes: Thought I could hang with the 105s, but not there yet.  Think I'm blowing my load on the axle benching and not really coming in with much left at this point.  Might bust out the adjustable handles to find a middle ground.



ASSISTANCE WORK


NG chins
35
25
25
20
20


DB hammer curls 50
5x10


DB lateral raises 15
5x15


Notes: Did this different today.  Everything happened between sets of pressing, and I'd rotate between the 3 movements before getting back to the first.  So I'd go bench, chins, bench, curls, bench, raises, bench, etc.  Gave me a chance to recover for a lot of chins.  Liked it so far, and it totally kicked my ass.



T-bar rows DROPSET
10x5 plates
10x4 plates
10x3 plates
10x2 plates
10x1 plate



General notes: Woke up at 193.4.  I was totally fried after this workout; good to be back.  The lower volume month was good to recover and soften up, but this is the kind of training I thrive on.
