Workouts – 24-28 November
2008 November 28
Slow week this week; even though Aussie doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving, we still ended up celebrating. By celebrating I mean drinking, and that means I don’t hit the gym like I should. Oops.
I still got my core lifts in at least, max effort and dynamic effort for both upper and lower body. The assistance was completely slacked on, but that’s not nearly as big a deal.
Tuesday 25 Nov
Incline BP (close-grip) – 4 warmup sets, 105 (231) / 2×1, 107.5 (236.5)x1
Rack DL (pin 2) + chains -140 (308)x2, 160 (352)x1, 180 (396)x1, 200 (440)x1
Called it a day here. This wasn’t such a great session. I didn’t sleep well the night before, getting to bed way late and up way early. Combine that with the unholy swamp heat up here right now and it wasn’t a great day. I’d planned to do a little core work, but oh well.
Friday 28 Nov
Box Squat (belt) – 4 sets of warmup, 135 (297) / 6×3
Floor Press – 4 sets of warmup, 107.5 (236.5) / 6×3
“Speed” DL (belt) – 170 (374) / 10 singles
one-armed DL – 60xR/L, 90xR, missed left side, 80 / 2xR/L
1. KB clean + press – 32kg / 3×1+2
2. Hammer curls – 20kg / 2×8
This on the other hand was a pretty damn good session. Everything felt strong and smooth, if not necessarily fast. Wearing the belt makes an amazing difference in the RPEs of these weights.
