Shoulders DB Press 10x60 Military Press 7x115 10x105 8x105 Front DB Raise 10x20 2x10x17.5 lateral db raise 2x10x17.5 10x15 Rear Delt Machine 10x115 10x130 All bars being used again for mil press at the start of the day, but one opened up pretty quickly. Definately like it better than DB press (esp. cuz its getting hard to get the db's off my knees) Just missed my goal of 115x8 but there was no way I could get another rep out sooo meh. Rest of workout was pretty standard. Goals: 115x10 or maybe 125x8 for mil press. maybe finally get to 20's for the majority of my raises. Tmrws workout: Back Notes: weight up to 175.5 at peak which was i think thurs or fri. went down a bit after not eating much this long weekend (too much drinking/hungover...oh well) -Mike |

Back WG Pullups 10xbw 8xbw 5xbw Deadlifts PR 6x275 10x225 3x315 6x275 Rows 10x80 10x90 9x90 Pretty decent day..got a new PR on deads so thats fun, also pretty big milestone for me at 3 plates. WG Pullups is staying fairly stagnant..but i think my form is a tiny bit better. Rows went up so thats good...spent a lot of the time today on deads so only had time for 3 exercises...also failed on 295 after my 315 set, so dropped down to 275. Next weeks goals: Hmm...5x315 maybe? I dunno its pretty heavy and hard on my grip. Maybe row 100? And my long standing goal of 2x10xbw on pullups...maybe. Tmrws workout: Chest...goin for 8x185 on bench hopefully -Mike |

Deadlifts 3x315 [/ QUOTE ] congrats man. Go into more detail on how your grip was for this set. I'm having some issues with my grip as well. Did you use straps? Was your grip mixed or double overhand? How much time do you take between reps? Do you reset your grip each time? |

Re: Mike\'s Log
No straps, Mixed grip. between reps i take abotu 1 second? just enough so im not bouncing. I think on my last rep i sort of had to let go of the bar and just reposition my hand slightly. next time im thinking of switching from right hand pronated to left hand pronated after half a set...dunno if this will help or not. still trying to get a grip tr
ainer but been busy this week and sorta forgot -Mike |

Chest Bench 8x185 10x175 8x175 Inc DB Press 7x70 9x65 8x65 Dips 6xbw Flies 2x10x30 8x30 Pretty good strength..prolly will do db press next week I guess.

Better endurance and strength on skullcrushers. Gonna do close grip bench next week. was gonna do it today but chest is sore ass from yesterday sooo yah. Prolly will drop french press for it. Bi's were ok but i was really tired from tri's so hopefully will get 10x90 next week or maybe 6x100 or something. Next weeks goals: 10x90 BB curl 10x45 Skulls Tmrw: legs -Mike |

Re: Mike\'s Log
Hi,
There's no need to do shoulder DB presses, Military Press AND front delt raises all in the same workout. |

Re: Mike\'s Log
I dont usually, hence only 1 set of DB Press(the bars were busy for mil press). Prolly coulda gotten away with just two sets of mil press I guess, but its my main shoulder excercise so I did 3.

legs Squats 10x205 10x225 8x225 6x225 Deadlift Grip Work (borrowed technique from theblackkeys) Well, pretty good workout strrength and form wise (altho I think a bit shoddy on my final set but still pretty decent) Not so good volume wise...some guy doing deads on one rack..must have done 70 total. Altho that didnt annoy me as much as the guys using a power rack to do curls (theres only 2 in the gym) Also using one of the bars to do them when there are preweighted barbells for the weight they are doing. I guess the power rack was sort of appropriate tho, since their curls were a full body compound exercise. Probably hindu drug dealers tho so I didnt say anything. Anyways so yah got started late and so decided just to do an extra set of squats..its my 5th day in a row anyways. Next weeks goals: Prolly will stay at 225. Maybe 235 or something but still tryin to keep the form very strict. I see people doing what I used to do and im like wtf. (prolly why they are rackpulling less than they squat) Tmrw: Weekend off, monday will be chest. I think going chest, back, shoulders will be a lot better than shoulders, back, chest cuz then i can do shrugs if i want or some grip work on shoulder day without having deads the day after. also wont have chest, then tris the next day, so i can get close grip bench in. yay -Mike |

Deadlift Grip Work (borrowed technique from theblackkeys) [/ QUOTE ] I also squeezed my #1 captains of crush gripper the day after. About a month ago I was able to close it once, but I could only get close this week. ? The strength in that area goes away pretty quickly. |

Chest 8x185 10x175 9x175 Inc DB Press 9x70 8x65 7x65 Pullovers 2x10x60 10x55 Flies 3x10x30 Meh, decided for BB press again. Didnt go up much this week, prolly cuz its Monday and I drank a bit this weekend. First time doing pullovers and they were ok I guess. Dunno how good my form is but seems alright. Next week goals: 8x195 on bench if i do barbell. Else I dunno. Tmrw: Back. -Mike |
