I can bench 315, but just curled 55 for 5x10 the other day. Granted they were strict, but still weak sauce.

I'd rather bench 315...

I see it before 2015 though.
 
Regardless if it was 150 or 200- that's crazy strong pushdowns!! Your strength has increased tremendously!!

I've seen increases in everything recently, except biceps and triceps.

I'd rather the increases in larger muscle groups, though.

Thanks Kat!

Absolutely! Large muscle group increases are definitely the ones to push for! Small muscles will come along naturally with the large ones!

I ate two slices of pizza about 2 hours pre. I was feeling full (a bad feeling), but, squats went well. I'll take it.
 
Lot of work. Congrats on the PR's!

I hate feeling full in the gym too, but training fasted is even worse for me. I try to find a balance.

Thanks LS.

I should've stopped after the first slice, but it was too good.
 
Not sure how you did those deadlifts after all those squats. You sir, are in beast mode! Great lifts!

They were tough, no doubt. Actually lost my grip on that last one and just said screw it. I really like the feel of the added band tension at the top.

Thanks Turff.

- My mind wasn't in it here, nor for the meadows, and not really until my second set of deads. Not certain why. Caffeine might've helped...

Blah.

I need a Deadlift day, I think. Maybe Saturdays, the day before legs.
 
You are too hard in yourself. This session was up to your high standards. Be proud Thomas! Congrats on your PRs!
 
Killer workout man! Some great sets and a compliment on the PR's!

I'm not sure I'd do deads right before legs. A couple days between the two seems to work best for a lot of people. A lot of muscle fibers firing during deads and a lot of the same ones on leg days, especially since you do squats. You, like most of us go all out and heavy, just my thoughts on it.

You're right. One day of bad squats and I'd be p1ssed at doing deads.

What are your thoughts on pushing back day a day later, and doing deads and cardio the day before, and then leaving my back day to only my upper back?
 
That's how I do mine. I'm doing my Sumo Deads this evening and today is my arms day. It has worked out well for me doing it this way. My upper back is Fridays and now my leg day is going to be Sundays(was Saturdays).

Cool. I'll give that a shot. Thanks Turff.
 
Mentally you can't always be on point. We all have those days where we go through the motions... but reread your workout, it was very solid indeed.

Agree with Turff on your deads..
 
I agree! You still had a kick butt workout!! Don't be too hard on yourself! Off days mentally just happen! What matters is you didn't let it stop you- you powered through!!

Thank you too, Kat.
 
Turff makes some great points - I personally can't do true hypertrophy upper back day the same day I deadlift; whichever goes 2nd is compromised to some degree. After I pull right now it's some light pulldowns, shrugs, grip work and a few pullups. That's not the same thing as 4 upper back exercises 3-5 sets of 8-12, balls to the wall. And pulling should happen far from leg day or on leg day, because it'll smash your hams and glutes.
 
Kiddos middle school football team is now 3-0. Great start after losing them all last year.

So, I can't have my cake and eat it too..?
 
Rest day.

I had intentions of doing sprints this morning, but I really didn't feel like getting up at 0330 for THAT. I'll be thankful for the extra two hours sleep this morning come Saturday.

Not if I replace my meat eating calories with cake calories.

Calories in vs calories out, amirite?
 
Lol! IIFYM. I'm eating a Snickers bar then! Rest and recover, you earned it!
