[niners4reggie]

I've decided after today I'm taking a few weeks off from training bis. My left arm from wrist to elbow are pretty jacked right now. Was able to get a decent night in but paying for it now.

Standing db curls
30x20
45x20
60x12
60x11x2
Couldn't get 12 on the last 2 sets with left arm.

Incline db curls
45x12x3

Spider curls Ez bar
75x6x3

Cable cross curls

Vbar pushdowns
80x10x3

Rope Pushdowns drop sets
45x10 drop 20x20 3 sets

Single arm reverse
25x10x6

Overall the amount of weight was down on about everything. Should've gone lighter on standing curls.

 

[niners4reggie]

So I decided to go ahead and train back today. I went with significantly less weight so I didn't do further damage.

Rack Pull Shrugs
135x10
225x8x4

Face Pulls starting at the bottom then up after each set to the top, then back down
35x10x10

I'm a little sore once again but I think I kept it at an appropriate weight.

 

[niners4reggie]

Was able to get to the gym early today. Leg/shoulders day today but decided to skip shoulders due to my arm. Figured the range of motion would put too much stress on it. Figured at 6:30 in the morning it would be packed but there were only 3 other guys lifting, so was able to get everything done in an hour.
Weight was 179 fasted pre training

5 min warm up on bike

All in classes and stuff.

All in classes and stuff.

Ya probably. It's a huge building and I only ever use 3 rooms so I have no clue what else is there.

 

[Kbizzle]

In late!!nBut in for the win!

What's up Kbizzle?? Thanks for joining my man!

 

[niners4reggie]

Finally picked up some lifting straps. Can't wait for back day!!

 

[Hyde]

Gonna be on like donkey kong - now you have to lift even heavier!

 

[niners4reggie]

I'm so pumped to set some PRs!!!

 

[niners4reggie]

Did a lil cardio this morning.
20 mins on the bike
10 minutes on stair climber
Heavy bag work with 5 lb dbs

Felt great, my left arm feels so much better today!!! It's amazing how well rolling a tennis ball on sore muscles works!!

 

[Kbizzle]

Yeah man, good logging so far.

Lifting straps huh? Do those make a big difference. I have never used any.

Thanks bro! Ya I've heard they do,but have never used them before, I cant use chalk at my gym so really hoping so.

 

[Marms]

I always have at least 2 pair of straps in my bag.

 

[Hyde]

If you can't use chalk they really are a must - like having a high horsepower car with lousy tires, the power is wasted if you can't lay it down. Why drag slicks were invented haha. I don't use them; I am a chalk diehard and if my gym (which has a no chalk policy actually) ever tells me I have to stop or be kicked out I will pack up and change gyms.

It's about personal freedom, 'Merica.

Ya I'm thinking they will help significantly. Nothing more frustrating to me than having to continuously regrip on rack pulls and deads. I could be doing much more weight than I am now. I'm so pumped to use them that I bumped back day up to tomorrow!!

 

[Hyde]

Your squat weight is just like mine (w/ better muscular endurance) and since those muscles have a lot of carryover if you squat to parallel I bet your dead has a lot more potential man. Gonna get that Speed x3 surge and haul some iron!

 

[niners4reggie]

I'm gonna give it a hell of a try. I've got my sights on 500 by winter

 

[niners4reggie]

I love these straps!!! With the combo of Speed X3 it made my training today much better than without them. Even hit a pr on rack pulls!!

Rack Pulls
135x10
225x10
365x8
425x3
455x1 PR!

Rack Pull Shrugs
Changed these up a little. Rack Pull then 5 shrugs back down Rack Pull 5 shrugs etc.
185x8 pulls+40 shrugs x 5 sets
The straps really helped me "pull" this one off!!

Bent Over Db Rows
Left for 10 then right for 10 back to left 10 then right for 10=1 set. I did 3 sets of these with 80 lb db.

Lat Pulls
150x10x4

Alternate Hand Seated Rows
Pull back with left then slowly back to start while pulling back with right so on and so forth. 10 reps per side x 3 sets@70 pounds per side.

Finished with cardio
20 minutes on the bike

5 one minute rounds on heavy bag with 8 lb dbs

 

[Hyde]

Really proud of you and happy for you big guy; knew they'd help you unleash the beast.

I always recommend chalk, but if you can't use it you should definitely have a pair of straps.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! It felt great to not have to worry about dropping the bar. Was able to completely focus on the lift itself.

 

[niners4reggie]

Did some grappling training tonight along with working on footwork, speed and heavy bags. Took 1/2 serving before and was really able to push it!

 

[niners4reggie]

Couple pics using an app I just downloaded.

 

[Marms]

Nice pix.

 

[niners4reggie]

Thanks bro!

Kickboxing tonight at 6. I'm pumped to work on this!!!!

 

[niners4reggie]

Did a little kickboxing training last night and ended up blocking a decent kick with my left arm. Hurt like an SOB afterwards, and was a little concerned I may be hating it today but did some more rolling and it actually isn't too bad today. Day off from weight training today but I will get some cardio in before work.

It think projected is about 1 week
Looks like we gave some away on FB. Which means we are on track. Im sure NP will do something and as soon as we get samples we will send some out.
