Had a marathon of a pulling session yesterday. I went in unsure of what I was going to do but knew I was going to try to go heavier. After reading what
Hyde recommended to
tyga tyga in his log about heavy chest supported rowing got me motivated to pull heavier instead of sticking to the 10-20 range. My back is not injured so I might as well push it a bit.
PeriWorkout shake = 48 oz - 40p, 110c, 10g BCAA
Bike 5 minutes
Upper Body Specific Warm Up 10-15 minutes
I started by going to a few different Hammer Strength Machines since the whole row was taken when I walked up. Then as they cleared out and I was nice and warm I was able to get on one of the machines I wanted.
HS Isolateral High Row - 180x15, 230x12, 270x10, 320x7, 320x6
HS Isolateral Low Row - 180x15, 230x12, 270x12, 320x8, 320x7 - The second half of the last two sets were done alternating one arm at a time.
HS Isolateral Dorian Rows - 4 sets @ 180 x RPE8, 9, 9 and failure - I also put some nice focus on biceps during the return to get a nice heavy negative for them.
Straight Arm lat Pull Down - 4 sets 70, 50, 50, 30 - RPE 9 all sets - this one was brutal, the weight felt ridiculously heavy. Not sure if it was just my back being fried or if it is the pulley system increasing the weight. Triceps were full after this.
Rear Delt Flies - 70, 70, 50, 50 - RPE 8, 9, 9, 9
Machine Curls - 37.5x15, 15 - was a different machine similar to a preacher curl but your arms are elevated and pointing straight forward not pointing down. Major biceps stretch. Decided to come back to this for pump work as it seemed more appropriate for the exercise.
Strict Alternating DB Curls - 40x15, 50x10, 50x9, 50x7, 50x6 - went to form failure, also found out for sure that my right side is either dealing with stability or nerve impingement resulting in a little weakness and instability. Not sure if structural or nerve related but now I know for sure.
Machine Curls (as above) - 70x RPE 9, 50xRPE9
Preacher Curl machine - 70x15, 95x12, 105x12, 70 x burn out
Stretched in the sauna and went home to eat.
Figured i would get in on some of the food porn action.
