LOG: BACK TO BARBELL BASICS

[samgraves82]

Had a good session but the back pump wasn't great for some reason. That happens with back sometimes for some reason. Oh well!!
I think I had a smudge on my lens or something.

Got a little busy sleeping like a bear this weekend so got behind posting. Them things went all to hell last night and this morning and it really affected my training today. At least I feel like it did my heavy pressing. That said, on my back off set with 275#, shit started feeling too good to leave so just lowered weight more and added a band just to have some fun. I fucking love banding a press! I don't know why I don't do it more. Well, I know why. Anyways, my first set sucked but the rest was awesome. Also, tossed the decline press at the end and went to hammer incline. I tried the decline a few times and it just doesn't do it for me. Flat and incline just feel better.

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

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.

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
