GetFit's Journal

[GetFit]

I am going to start a journal here.
I have been doing a 2 day split for the past couple weeks.
A
BP wu to 5 X 2
Push Press wu to 5 X 2
Seated Military Press 10 X 3
Skull Crushers wu to 5 X 3

B
Deadlift wu to 3 X 2
Squat wu to 10 X 3
Row wu to 10 X 3
Bi curls wu to 10 X 3

I need to change something my back is still real weak and my hamstrings are a mess. I plan on integrating some more exercises for my core and hamstrings and giving up on heavy deadlifts.

Welcome to the journal world.

Dont give up on deadlifts. If you want to target the hamstrings, try some stiff-leg deadlifts and sumo presses. Also Glute ham raises are good.

[GetFit]

Nite, I am not totally giving up on them. I am going to be working in the 20 rep range though for a few weeks. I got some problems with my back (broke it when I was younger) and I cannot have my hamstrings and back the weakest link in this lift.

I'd be just as worried about my back with this lift as I would with deads.

[GetFit]

I haven't had a problem with it. Only point I think about is the bottom the stress on my shoulder. I feel pretty good today. I will start using a belt for that exercise. I am going to go watch a video to check my form make sure I am doing everything correctly.

[GetFit]

Speaking of form, the guy that spotted me is monstorous. Except he has no calves, but anyway he said my form on bench was real strict.

[GetFit]

Ok, I watched the video, I need to work on it a bit. Its more resting it at back toward your neck. My movement has been all power elbows under the bar at the bottom.

[musclesntx]

Just deadlift before I have to head up there and put a foot on your throat.

[GetFit]

I do deadlift! What are you talking about? Sure I PP more than I deadlift right now...

[GetFit]

Wife got me to run yesterday. 2 miles, its been a long long time. It felt horrible. But I feel great today.

Ran 2 miles this morning 5:30 am. Felt pretty good. I feel great right now. However, how do you stop sweating. I showered after my run but I barely even start to sweat until after I get out of the shower. Its crazy !

[GetFit]

I need to switch up this routine. Deadlifts and squats on the same day are killing me.
