Wednesday, July 28th
Deadlifts 135 x 8 185 x 8 225 x 6 275 x 5 315 x 3 355 x 1 PR New PR by 5 lbs . Hey, I'll take 5 lbs every deadlift workout.WG Pulldowns 120 x 10 150 x 10 165 x 8 One Arm DB Rows 90 x 8/8 100 x 7/7 110 x 5/5 Haven't done these for awhile. This is one of the exercises I like to shuffle in and out of my back workouts for variety. Barbell Curls 65 x 8 85 x 8 105 x 8 100 x 8 95 x 8 Felt weak on curls today. Biceps were probably in shock after doing the DB rows All in all, a good workout. Anytime I get a new PR, I'm happy. Lower back still disapproves doing full deadlifts, but I'm starting to notice I recover a lot faster. When I first started, my lower back would tighten up during and immediately after the deads. Then I would feel discomfort for the next couple of days. Right now it seems my lower back complains only while I'm doing the deads. We'll see how it feels tomorrow morning, but the last workout I had barely noticed any discomfort at all the morning after. |

Traditional. Will have to try sumo style. I have short legs and average length arms, so that might be a good way to go.

I am short and find sumo to be harder than convetional but I am weird. Good job on the PR freak.

Thanks P (I think
) and Gary. P, I think it's about time you ban Gary. Surely, there must be something you can ban him for.I'm 6' even, so not tall, but definitely not short. Well this morning, the low back is sore. I plan to rotate deadlifts, 3/4 deadlifts (about 6" off the ground), and rack pulls. So I'll be doing actual deadlifts about once every 3 weeks. |

Congrats on the PR, Jersey! Looks like a great workout!
But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

Saturday, July 31st
Squat 135 x 8 205 x 6 225 x 9 275 x 4 250 x 6 These were not ATF, but at least parallel. Most past parallel. The 275 set was my main focus and I went to parallel and did go to failure. I used the squat rack with the catches set about 3" below parallel. On this set I squat to just above this catch. On the last rep, I stopped on the catch and paused, then drove up. Didn't make the 5th rep .Hammer Strength V-Squat Machine 165 x 10 235 x 8 235 x 8 Another new one for me. Felt easy, but soon afterwards, I could feel some soreness coming on.... Leg Curl 90 x 10 100 x 10 110 x 8 Seated Calf Raise 130 x 15 130 x 13 130 x 12 130 x 12 Last edited by JerseyDevil : 08-01-2004 at 09:46 AM. |

Nope. That one looks more like a torture device
. I'm glad you mentioned this. I went to the Hammer Strength site, and what I used is actually called a V-Squat machine, but it is very similar to a hack squat. It looks like this. |

because of where the weights are placed in relation to the axis of rotation it look slike it owuld be pretty easy to load that thing up with lots of plates as you have to apply much less force to move the weight.

I didn't say that it wasn't effective. I was just saying that it looks like you can stack this machine with plates because the weights are so close to the access of rotation. (physics).

Am I going to get banned again? Drat!
Yeah, I'm sure you're right. The 235 seemed easy, and the soreness today is probably due to hitting certain muscles at a different angle (or something like that). I'll leave the kinesiology up to you and Var. ![]() |

Monday, August 2nd
Bench 135 x 8 185 x 8 245 x 8 245 x 7 245 x 6 Not feeling particularly strong today. Close Grip Decline Press 135 x 8 205 x 8 225 x 7 225 x 6 Really, really like these a lot for punishing the tri's. Hammer Strength Incline Press 180? x 8 (not sure of exact weight. Two 45's on each side) 230 x 8 270 x 6 DB Skullcrushers 30's x 10 45's x 7 45's x 6 Pushdowns 70 x 8 90 x 5 80 x 8 Tri's were fried by the time I got to pushdowns, as witnessed by the pathetic weight used. |
