Upper muscle rounds.

Fucking barbell broke lol. 4 plate t bar rows stripped the collar and, even after I tried to tighten it back up, it came loose during meadows rows. Already ordered another bar. This was a cheap ass CAP bar. Figured it would break soon. I was able to use the bar for my pressing but, anything where it's vertical won't be working.

I did get my single hand attachment in today but, only three sets on muscle rounds before the bar snapped.

T bar row - 4*23, 22
Meadows - 2*14-broke
Pull-ups - 23
Floor press - 225*23, 205*22, 185*24
Seated shoulder press - 135*25, 23
Bench rear lateral - 30*27, 23
Side lateral - 30*23, 22
Knee raises - 5*15

Great pump. Floor press was new. Had to work out the best position to smash the chest in the upper portion of the lift. I didn't do triceps today since that smoked them pretty good.

Rolling right along!

Upper loading

Took the new BB for a spin today. It has some VERY aggressive knurling. Also, the hero grip rings are nice and deep and, at a perfect width for myself. Really happy with the bar. Don't think it's gonna take a crap on me any time soon.

Meadows rows - 3 plates *10, 9, 8
Rack pull - 435(all the weight I've got minus the 5/10's) *15
Incline BB bench (1 notch) - 275(+20)*8, 7, 5 225*10
BB shoulder press - 205*8(+2), 205*7
Behind neck - 155(+10)*10, 8
Close grip bench - 205*12,10
DB curl muscle rounds - 30*23, 22
Hanging knee raises - 5*15

Oh, treadmill broke. Sumbitch.I'm For real breaking everything. The incline had stopped working last week some time but, now the belt is stopping ran***ly. The treadmill is old but, very few miles on it. I think it has 210 when I got it? I guess it's electric shit going out. Gonna tinker with it when I've got time and maybe call a service company to repair it depending on how much a tech would cost to come diagnose it.

Until then, cardio in the neighborhood. It's still light cardio but, I'll have to find a few hills or something when the time comes.

Lower loading

Working on getting used to the new bar. Went heavier but, still taking it easy on weight until I'm confident in the movement.

Need to have an adjustment done but, gd chiropractor is closed! Right hip is down quite a bit right now.

Safety Squat - 315*10(feeler set), 315*15, 14, 15
Sldl - 365(+50)*9(-1), 315*11(+2)
DB Lunge - 30's*15, 10
One leg hip thrust - 9, 7, 6
Bb curls - 95*8,5/ 65*12,11/ 45*13, 11
Knee raises - 5*15

I'm getting into a groove I guess. Cycle starts in about two weeks.

Where did you get your adjustable bench? Brand?

I haven't really looked for one yet, but seen a thread over at ProM about member(s) trying to find one.

I am gonna have to check out a few places here in town.

Great job as always bud:cool:

Upper muscle rounds!

Really need to get more creative on chest. Regular BB press isn't ideal at all for muscle rounds since I'm unracking the bar for each mini set. It zaps my strength in the top portion of the lift so, I'm gassing fast as you'll see lol. I'm a shit presser anyways.

Overall it was a good session. Used some bands to finish off chest and triceps.

One arm BB dead stop row - 115*24,23
Pullups - 23, 22(assisted)
BB bench - 225*16/185*9, 185*16/155*9(ha)
Slight incline DB fly - 30*25
Banded fly - orange band *fail 2x
Seated dB lateral - 30*25, 22
Bent over dB lateral - 30*27
Triceps press - orange band *27, 23

Pretty OK. The press is embarrassing. I would use the safety catch to rest between sets but, that's almost like doing a floor press and I'm already doing those on my other muscle round day. Dunno, may just turn one into a high rep day like legs so my variety is still there.

Hi rep leg day, mostly.

Safety bar squat - 290*20, 20, 15, 20 widowmaker
Partial deads - 315*8, 8
Split squat muscle round - 25*27
Bb curl - 75*27, 24
Knee raises - 5*12

Squats smoked me. The partial deads after those wasn't a great set up since my low back was ruined. Getting back to typical weights in the garage now which is good.

Coach gave me a free meal. First five guys burger in ages and first free meal in months. Did not eat all the fries 🍟.

Upper loading.

Not much sleep Yday since I had to go into work early.

Training suffered a bit at the end of the session. Still got some solid work though.

Yates rows - 365*10, 7, 315*12
Dead shrugs - 225*20, 15
Incline bench - 255*11(+1), 8, 225*10
Military press - 205*4(-2), 185*6
Laterals ss Bb curls - 30*20/65*15, 19/13, 15*12, 20(partials)/11
Knee raises - 5*12

30 minutes of cardio post training.

Weight is down quite a bit after the free meal. Hovering around 242-244 right now.

So tired of being off. I feel weak and soft as fuck. Hopefully when the gear goes in weight will hold steady for a while and body comp will just improve. 215-220 shredded maybe? We'll see.

Decided to add an extra rest day today instead of lower loading.

I'm a bit more beat up since I haven't used any machines at all over the last few weeks. If you know my personal training, you know that about half of the work I do is machine work to failure. I don't take free weights to failure because I train alone and, it's just not worth the risk reward imo. Form break down, tendon issues and so on.

So, I've started taking some compounds to failure when I can safely. Hatfield squats(can help myself up) , rack pulls and sldl, bb shoulder press (catches catch the failure rep). On top of that, since I can't really preform muscle rounds safely, I've worked to more high rep stuff along with failure AND drop sets or widowmakers. Just a ton of stress on the cns and body in general.

So, an extra rest day. Give the knee an extra day. Give the back and hams a rest.

Tomorrow we're back into it and 16 weeks 2 days out.

Made a pully. Don't have a handle but, im gonna rig one up with an old towel and some Pvc.

I'll get handles eventually if it holds up well and I like it.

Extensions, flies and some high curls will get worked in. Muscle rounds are back baby!

Just broke the sixteen week out mark.

Waiting on updates from the coach but, im expecting to start my cycle today. Maybe not, we'll see what he says.

Works been busy for my essential self. Might be going back to a regular schedule soon which I don't enjoy. The on call schedule isn't great but, I am able to have a little more free time with it since I don't work every single day. It sucks cause I dunno when I'll work but, little more time not at work.

Garage training going good. Got exercise selection sorted pretty well and I've been back to focusing on progressive overload since I've got the weights dialed in better.

About to get upper muscle rounds in as we speak!
