I swear I thought I posted this Monday or Tuesday. I really needed to feel some heavy weight this week and exactly what I've done. The pressing felt so good so we just stayed there instead of going to smith press. I freaking love band pressing

Looking great man

We did our regular pulldown movement yesterday then deadlifted 2.sets and then a drop set of cable rows. Cause the deads felt so good did that second set so it caused us to run out of time before doing hams but id say the deads covered that mostly. Worth it. Not happy only got 3 with 500 first time untouched that in a while so it'll climb fast. I will say, my back is sore from top to bottom. Set a PR with 405x13 tho. Wasn't pretty but did it.

Best to be less vague. As in 'last year I benched 200 x 2' this year 'I wanna be hitting 210 x 2'.

9/30 back/hams
We went to a new gym today and the equipment was fn amazing. Cybex, paramount, life fitness(old stuff). That said, didn't write down nothing. Just followed same patterns minus 1 arm pulldown. I think that was a paramount pulldown. Fn amazing!!!

Pulldown 3 sets all to fail and some cheat reps
1 set chest supposed row +asst reps
1 set t row
3 set seated row(cybex I think,)
2 sets str8 arm pulldown/cable pullover
3 sets lying hams (paramount I think)
2 diff super sets for arms too cause why not

Tried pull ups but back just wouldn't do it

I for one go crazy if I forget my log book. I religiously look back at previous days to make sure I hit the same weight or push harder than my last leg day for example. Some times I think it's a bad thing as you will have some days the strength jjat isn't there like the last session but I like to track everything also.

It keeps my accountable too. Days I'm feeling like a pussy that book reminds me what im capable of.

I'm going to be taking a deload this week. I really felt it Saturday and just walked out the gym. Tried today and was weak as shit so definitely deload time. I'll start back strong on Saturday if I don't go to Atlanta.

I've stopped in the am. Rested and came back the same day and killed it on a prep for lifting events.

Back at it today. Legs went extremely well. We was at the other gym and doin smith squats on that smith was impossible. So we went to the dynabody pro squat. Matched my best ever on it too. Used the paramount lying ham curl as well.
Changed my footing on leg press and added a cluster set to ham curls.

Got in a pretty good chest/arms day. Well, really good minus that first set of pressing. Everything just felt wonky and off balance for some reason. Probably because my head was somewhere else. I actually went backwards a rep. BUT, I matched my best ever with 315 right after that and got 315x10 so that was cool. Tried for 11 and failed. I thought I recorded it but the damn camera was facing wrong way. Accidentally switched to front facing and don't know it till after. Don't matter tho.
Only reason I did flies and pec deck instead of just kex deck is cause it was being used and I ain't even wanna ask to work in with that guy. Still got my 4 sets of flies tho.
Respect the head band !!!

Well I got that extra rep deadlifting this time. Weird thing is, like bench press the other day, it just felt weird and off today. I actually failed the first rep on the first go at 500. But went back and got the 5 tho.
