Cowboy's Switch the Darkside

Wasnt feeling it today..... for some reason. Could be lack of sleep or training last night. Been studying for an exam which I wrote this am, and got 91% on.

Push day

Bench
95x10
145x10
165x10
185x8
195x6
145x12

2 DB hex press (need more 10s tough with 25s)
20x15
40x15
60x10

Strict OHP
45x10
65x10
85x10
95x7

Banded pushdowns
4 sets to fail

25

Tired didn't do the entire plan. Dropped the 60s on hex setting up definately need to get more 10s and 5s for the DB handles, 25s are too big.
Elbow and Shoulder clicking and popping on OHP..
Cut tris short need EZ curl bar or straight shorty for skullcrushers...

Fuck it got something done

Not every day can be a PR day.

Yesterday I really had to push myself through squats.. usually I cant wait
 
Ever done 50s? Or that's what I think they're called. grab DBS you can do volume with. Do 4 sets of 50 reps. Then after the 4th set do 3 sets of 10-12 reps of a weight you can do 75-80% of your max with. Works great on chest and shoulders. Mad pump

No but will have to try it
 
Not even every month can be a PR month and sometimes even a year. That's when it really tests your determination.
Oh I am determined..... want my 45s, want my arms to quit hurting.... want to start mu drol damn it lol..

Hanging in there, 2 weeks until 45s show, another 2 weeks light workouts, 2 more weeks to heal, and 2 more weeks to cut some weight, then I am eating, 100mg drol, lifting heavy and no cardio lol

100%
I took your advice a while ago
I stopped trying to hit PRs too often.
Om about 2 weeks out froma bench PR attempt
squats have been slow lately as well since my last blast ended.
Will try a squat PR the week after
 
That's the way to do it. I used to try and hit my 100% on squats and bench once a week. I got sick numbers sure. But it always led to injury at some point. I find working at the 70-80% max weight for a 7-8 weeks and then attempting a PR much easier on the body.
 
The week is starting out shitty. Shit hit the fan and I worked 17 hrs yesterday, no breaks. So needless to say no cardio, PT, lifting. Hoping it eases up soon, not sure I can handle crazy hours this week and no lifting.

Side note the extra cardio last week I am down 2lbs to 207.
 
Well this week is officially a wash lifting and cardio wise.

No lifting
1 short walk

Will see what can be done this weekend probably cardio wise and get back lifting on Sunday. Work shouldn't be as bad next week.

In all honesty the 7 day break on the tendons may be a silver lining.

Hope my 45s show next week as planned

A good break won't hurt you at all. You will hit pr's when you get back at it. Dont sweat it!
 
I was wrong work has got me again this week. Worked 530am until 900pm last night another long one today and probably rest of week. I am gonna at least try and fit something in this week.

Question, anyone ever use a super ez curl bar? I prefer normal ez curl bar for tricep work as well but not sure with the more neutral grip on the super one.

On that my 10 45s are in... I can start fucking lifting heavy shit again when I can sneak away from work to get them

I miss the two years of working 20-25 hours a week at my last job.

Never used one, but that neutral grip would probably be kinder to the elbows doing triceps work.

Yeah I used to start work between 5 and 6. Go to gym around 10 and come back and work.... shit going nuts at work last couple weeks I dunno just cant do it, no time.
I am going to at least fit in some bench this week. Next week with my plates here I am thinking 5 3 1 to get back into it for a week or 2 and then back to Sheiko. At least with 531 a little less time commitment

Good to hear about the plates
Time to up the numbers!

As for the super easy curl, I like it.
Really helps with the elbow pain for me.

However, I feel like the focus shifts a little bit to the long head of the tricep.

So if I have elbow pain, I'll use it... if not I'll stick to easy curl, or rep out straight bar at light weights.

Pure bioscience, but that's where I feel it lol
