Tue: Heavy Push/abs - 30 min cardio
BB Flat Bench: 235x3 240x2 245x2 250x1 255x1 (assisted) My stupid fvcking spotter racked the bar on the last set as I was pushing through the rep. I wanted to fvcking kill him because I would have racked it myself. I was too knackered after that to try 255 again. BB Incline Bench: 155x8 (too light) 185x5 195x3 200x2 I wanted to do DBs but there are no 95 lb. DBs in the gym and 90's were too light and 100's too heavy so I wen't with the BB. I had surprising strength on it and could have gone heavier. In fact, I had a real intense workout today. It owned. BB Military Press: 135x6 155x5 165x4 Again, surprisingly stronger on this lift. I should have started heavier DB Front Raise: 55x9 Decline CGBP: 185x5 185x4 185x2 Not sure how heavy I should go on these. DB Hanging Leg Raise: 17.5x12 17.5x12 17.5x12 I'm not sure where the intensity came from in this workout but I felt like exploding. I was much stronger on my lifts than last week.

CGBP = close grip bench press I like to keep my hands 6-8 inches apart on these and do them on a decline. It allows me to do more weight and puts more emphasis on the tris, rather than the shoulders.

when you don't know what the spotter is going to do, best thing to do before you lift is to tell him NOT to touch the bar unless it goes the 'wrong' direction. No lift off, and no help racking. If you can't lift the weight off yourself, you don't need to be lifting it.

Thur: Heavy Leg/Light Pull - 20 min cardio
ATG Squats: 235x6 275x3 280x1 290xfailed 285x1 I squatted 290 in the desert but lost some over the week I took off and the cold I had. I probably could have gotten 280 twice which is why I tried 290; I failed and re-racked with 285. Widows: 475x25 I wen't too light on these but did a few extra reps. 90 more lbs. is probably about right. SLDL's: 295x6 335x3 345x2 355x1 Abbductor/Adductor work: 2 eachxfailure DC Calves 225x10 225x8 225x7 Rack Deads: 335x6 340x6 350x6 355x5 T-bar Rows with Y-handle: 180x9 180x8 180x8 My left lat was giving me problems again. Note: I only count the plates, not the bar for weight on these. Pull-ups w/5sec neg: bwx3 bwx3 bwx3 I wanted to do face pulls because of my left lat being sore but the cable pulleys aren't set up correctly for them. I should probably have done some upright rows instead but oh well. BB Curls: 105x9 105x8 105x6 It was a solid workout. My squats are coming back to what they were when I left the desert and I'm loving the rack-deads.

It was an awesome workout.

Thur:: Heavy leg/light pull - 20 min cardio
ATG Squats: 235x6 275x3 285x2 290x1 295x1 (spotted) Widows: 540x15 A bit too heavy. LOL, I can't seem to find the right weight for these. My my hips and legs were a bit taxed more than normal today though. SLDL: 315x3 355x2 360x1 Abbductor/Adductor: 2 eachxfailure DC Standing Calves: 225x10 225x8 225x8 Rack Deads: 345x6 355x6 365x3 T-Bar Rows w/v-bar 190x8 190x8 190x8 Face Pulls: 150x12 175x12 185x11 DB Bent Over Rear Delt Raise: 50x9 BB Curls: 105x10 105x8 105x8 I wasn't 100% today. This week at work has taken it's toll and my hips were a little warped going into the workout. I still had a productive workout though. You can't expect to be 100% everyday. Excuses are for the children.
