Day 18
Arms
standing ez bar curls: 95*8, 105*8, 115*8, 125*8
i did these with really strict form this time... no "powering" it
supersetted with
close grip bench press: 225*10, 235*10, 245*10, 255*8
close grip, go about 60% of the way down, any more hurts my wrists
standing db hammer curl: 65*8, 70*8
supersetted with
incline bb frenchpress: 80*15, 125*6
bb concentration curls: 60*8, 80*8, 80*8
supersetted with
cable push down: 120*8, 110*10, 110*12
and somewhere towards the end I threw this in
db concentraiton curls: 50*6, 55*4
by the end i had probably the biggest pump ever
There's something I need to say, i usually train in the 4-8 rep range and that's where I've build up about all my mass. During this cycle I got afraid of going heavy and hurting my tendons and as you can see, i've been taking my rep range up to 8-10 for most of the sets and going for a more "hypertrophy based" workout. My strength gains haven't been great, but this may be why I'm gaining so much weight... cuz I never lift in the 10 rep range and so i'm using up that potential there. I don't know for sure. But it's an interesting possibility, I'll continue to lift higher reps and go more for hypertrophy during this cycle and see how well it works for me. Usually my training is less sets, less reps, less volume but I always got good results from that, just became hard to gain weight recently...
