Whoa. 
It became harder and harder to maintain balance.
This isnt a terribly bad thing, right? I mean, its supposed to be a warm up.
Good day. I had to ditch Declines, so I opted for Incline into Flat presses. Inclines were a bitch with the tempo. I ended up falling just short.|

Eh. Today was kind of lousy. My HS Rows were awesome at first. I set the seat almost near the top and grabbed the higher neutral grips, mimicking the grip on a T-bar. Then, out of the clear blue sky, my right forearm had pain. On the ulner, posterior side, proximal to the elbow. Felt deep too. I grabbed straps for my last set and it helped a little. Pull ups were easy! Bought fucking time. DB Rows were hard. And there was that pain again! |

To me, one rep, super heavy weight rows don't make any sense, maybe your form was impeccable, but I am sure most people's form goes out the window on a heavy ass row.
i suggest sumo or trap bar as they are somewhat "easier" on the lower back, and still good at stimulating the middle back and trap area with the isometrics.... how is your back doing? |
Good day, but the only shit that burned were my posterior deltoids.
Happy Halloween!!!

might I suggest doing something like i am doing now? calculate your one rep max for each of the exercises you are doing, then each workout do a percentage of that max working up to like 95%, then reset. for example, lets say you calculate your bench press 1rm to be oh i dunno 335. for your first bench day, do something like 4 sets of 4 with 80% of your max, which in the example would be 270. On the next bench day, do 4 sets of 3 with 85% of max, or 285. Third bench day, do 4 sets of 2 with 90% or 300, and finally on the fourth day, do 4 sets of 1 with 95% or around 315. If you hit those 4 reps fairly easy, then add 5 pounds to your calculated max and then start over at 80% of the new max. this way you should technically never train to failure on any day |

I had pepperoni rolls for dinner. Bad shit, yeah. But I ate it at 7-8pm and ate all 6 of them. Needless to say, I was full the rest of the night, which was my goal. Today, I just had shit enthusiasm for being there. I was pretty strong in everything, but just not in the right mind set. When I rested my head down on my shoulder, I smelled pepperoni rolls! Anyway, push press was ok. I did a solid stance vs. my staggered stance. Nice to get some good practice. Squats were low cuz of what I already stated. I wonder if the pepperoni rolls had something to do with this pain.. No stop laughing, seriously. I shit before I went to the gym, but I had bad cramps. Even now I feel a 2nd round coming up. Perhaps shit and this pain are related. Chin ups were nice. I am liking these again. Oh yeah, when I weighed myself at the clinic I was 218.5. |
When will I learn.
Nothing like trying to get a blowjob until 3am, failing, then going to the gym after school. 
Though thats not the goal.
I know, I KNOW! My grip sucks too. I just feel 'off' with these. I also dont like how my core feels. I seriously feel like a newbie with these all of a sudden. Next, I kept thinking about my alleged girlfriend and that just made me anxious about everything. 
I got scared of the workout! I shook my head and decided to not go up to 345lbs (originally set), but to only go up 10lbs. So far so good, but the bitch jumped back into my head! 
I have 3 projects, none of which have been started nor am I excited about, so I have bigger fish to fry. Did the best I could for squats, tried to go low, but it was a struggle. However, I did what I could, and it was passable at best.
