Back to Rep Range

Ham Dominant

Active Stretched

Warm ups..
Bridge w/feet on ball (30 sec holds)
Bridge w/foot on ball, the other elevated (20 sec holds)
Crunches w/legs on ball
Inchworms
Single-leg RDL

Romanian Deadlift
The bar for 8 reps
95lbs for 8 reps
135lbs for 6 reps
155lbs for 6 reps
195lbs for 3 sets, 8 reps (no straps)

Sumo Style Leg Press (new machine, legs were less vertical)
2 plates on each side for 8 reps
4 plates + 25lbs on each side for 3 sets, 12 reps

Reverse Hyperextensions
BW for 3 sets, 15 reps

***all 2/1/1 tempo, 2 min RI***

Calf Press
1 plate on each side for 10 reps
2 plates + 25lbs on each side for 2 sets, 10 reps (60 sec RI)

Static Stretched


Deadlifts felt good. Some fatigue, but GOOD fatigue.

Speaking of fatigue, I got my ass kicked on the leg press. The machine I used is from FreeMotion and is a lot more simple looking than the Hammer Strength's. I didnt think I was going to get the 12 on the last set, I was aiming for 10.

Reverses were better today. I think it was cuz my hams were friend by the time I got to these.

Not much else to report.

Holding up nicely. Once again, no advil needed and its been 4 hours since I lifted.

Back pain aside, since my injury, my balance on my right leg has been terrible. When doing single leg BW RDLs, my right leg cant stay upright as well as my left.

During warm ups today, I did a 10 rep set on each leg. My left leg never had to use my right leg's support, but my right leg needed my left leg to touch the ground 3 times.

I am thinking of incorporating more balance work in the warm up days cuz this is just shitty.

Other than that, some numbness still hasnt gone away and when I clench my right foot sometimes, it stiffens up badly. No sciatic though.

So its still a long on-going healing process. These lil problems that remain have driven me from ATG squats completley for now. I even thought about just doing light stuff or wearing a belt, but forget it. Not just yet.

Some pushes seemed hard than pulls. Spider Rows was too heavy. Shouldve only added a 10.

Hammer Strength Row was way too light. Jesus.

I dont know what happened to my close grip benches.

Skullcrushers were boring. Curls were AWESOME! I could hardly hold my bent legs during the stretches!

I am really steamed about my CG Bench. I used to do 245lbs! Where the fuck ?

And to think...I stopped doing Arm Days, then this happens. Bench DID go up, but I thought if anything, my triceps would keep that kind of strength instead of losing it...maybe ill bring this up in Training.

Ok, some improvements all over the place. Overhead BB Press went up, Lat Pulls stayed the same (i still hate these), DB Presses went up, Chin ups...I think are about the same.

I threw in shrugs, cuz my traps arent big anymore(?)

Oh yeah, only thing I am on now is CEE and sometimes Herbal Burn. I tried an EndoRush drink today. Though this time I didnt guzzle it...

I just made it to work on time.

I am pretty bad. Ever since I started to train for mass, I eliminated cardio. Now I get out of breath over nothing. The only aerobic activity I do is my training and throwing my yellow lab around when I get home.

Silk the Shocker!

Ham Dominant

Active Stretched

Warm ups..
Bird Dogs
Isometric Bird Dogs
Leg Raises
Isometric planks w/extended opposing arm and leg
BW Single Legged RDLs

Single Legged RDLs
10lb DBs for 10 reps each leg
15lb DBs for 10 reps each leg
30lb DBs for 3 sets, 8 reps

Stiff Legged Deads
135lbs for 20 reps
135lbs for 20 reps (had to rack after the 11th rep, rested for 8 sec, finished)

Sumo Style Leg Press (drop set)
4 plates for 15 reps
3 plates for 6 reps
2 plates for 10 reps
1 plate(s) for 10 reps (all plates listed are for EACH side)

Again...
4 plates for 15 reps
3 plates for 10 reps
2 plates for 6 reps
1 plate(s) for 10 reps

Calf Extensions (rest pauses)
170lbs for 16 reps, rested for 15 sec, 7 reps, rested for 15 sec, 6 reps
170lbs for 10 reps, rested for 15 sec, 5 reps, rested for 15 sec, 5 reps

Stretched...god knows I needed it.


Single Legged Deads dont belong here. Sorry Baker and/or fUnc, but I am not good at this yet. I was weebling and wobbling. I am thinking of a deconditioning week with nothing but single leg shit to increase balance.

My grip was ACHING on deadlifts. Ugh! My back felt tense here too. In fact, it felt tense from the Single legged RDLs. It might had been from poor form.

The leg press was done with a partner. After he noticed I was taking over his leg press to do some pyramids, he wanted to get competitive. Needless to say, we BOTH lost! Oh the burn, jesus christ!

Calf extensions were almost the same story. Not as much burn, but my strength deteriorated.

Nice, a little pre-exhausting of the chest there, I like that.

FYI, the cereal is pretty tasty actually.

I'm not a huge fan either, but it sounds like a good idea for shock week.
