That 60 seconds wasn't bad until about the 7th set and then by the 10 set I was struggling.

4 minute rest

And by the 7th set here these got pretty hard. That 60 seconds at this point needed to be 90 but I just dropped a few reps. Arms are past sore and hurt!
 
Beast of a workout! Pretty crazy yet kind of exciting about Alaska! Would definitely be an experience! I've only lived in the south- not sure I'd know how to survive.
 
Slacking on volume I see.
 
Hit Chest today. Probably not the best thing to do with my tri's still sore...

Rear delt raises
25 x 10 x 4 sets

Getting closer to having my life back to a schedule I can maintain and get my workouts in.
 
Great session indeed.
 
Way to string all of those push groups together! That had to have become progressively more challenging by the last workout.
 
It's been a long week. Did get in a light leg workout and light back workout in earlier this week. Nothing to really annotate on them as it was just going through the motions to get something in.

Today on the other hand was a great chest workout!

Didn't want to torque my back.. I was about 3/4's and left side just wouldn't go on up.
 
Your inclines are simply inspiring!
Makes me want to focus on inclines for the next while!

Yeah, I don't do flat benching anymore. Will restart incorporating declines some soon.

Thanks Simon! I needed this leg workout to get me more motivated!
 
Since October? Dam, how do you keep the power?

Not sure. I was surprised. I just checked and the last leg workout in the gym doing hacks, presses, extensions, and curls was on Halloween.
I've done some extensions at the house and some squats with bands but nothing to mimic the heavy weight.
 
Just tallied up what the total volume was for leg day yesterday. 86,580lbs
Yep, guess that was a good day.

Wish I had ate decent last night. Soup with cheese and crackers probably not the best fuel for next morning heavy leg day. I felt drained and thirsty. Way to much sodium last night. Oh well, still powered through regardless!
 
Powered through is an understatement! Yikes! Your 1RM on leg press must be 1100! Legs will grow with that session!
 
I am getting curious what my 1RM is on them. But I also like the work up volume. Might test it one day and see what I get.

Neck pad wasn't thick enough. Needed training wheels, too.

Every time I think of someone maxing on leg press I think if that girl whose knee went the wrong way.

that's kinda how I tore my calf and hammie on the leg press

Hmm, maybe I won't shoot for a 1RM...lol
I do plan on hitting 1005lbs though just so I can say I can leg press Over a half ton...lol
 
Chest Day...at the gym.

I actually think I prefer doing chest at home since I'm so use to my bench setup. But it's cold and wet outside and I wanted to hit a little heavier DB's.

Incline DB press
75 x 10
85 x 10
95 x 10
100 x 8 - one of the db's is bent very bad. So bad it's not balance right. Kind of threw me off on each rep. Should've went 110's
110 x 5

HS incline press
110 x 10
200 x 10
250 x 8
270 x 4

Incline DB flyes
50 x 10
50 x 10
50 x 10
60 x 10

HS chest press - seat all the way down
200 x 10 x 2
250 x 10
290 x 10
340 x 8

I think I'll hit Barbell press later this week at home. Chest is definitely feeling this one though.
 
How do you bend a DB?

Strong one, Brian.

By dropping them on their end usually from doing a pressing move. I see guys doing it all the time. I understand having to drop them sometimes but there IS a correct way that won't result in damage.
Seen guys drop them doing DB overhead tricep press too instead of using a spotter. That really can damage them.
Good thing is the 110's aren't bent. Just will have to jump from 95's to 110's going forward.

Thanks Thomas!!
