Thanks, man!

No, the DOMS isn't as severe as it was in the beginning, but it's still pretty intense.

WBM, Day 7: Ain't Easy

I've come to a conclusion about weight training: It ain't easy. Go figure...

The Squats are getting harder. I have to flex all of my back to maintain a neutral spine. No joke, Squats are turning into a full body exercise. Mind you, I like it!

I should note that on the Rows, I alternated between standard and Yates on each set. I feel it gives the whole of my back a better pounding.

Nice workout. Very good looking squats. I take it your doing full body?

SamEaston · 11-15-2007, 05:15 AM

DOMS - those squats are monstrous!

How do you find the pain the day after? Is it horrendous?

goob · 11-15-2007, 02:56 PM

Nice workout DOMS. That is an extremly brutal workout! Superb.

3 x 11 squats.

Thanks, vortirt!

Yeah, it's a full body routine, but each workout tends to focus on either push, pull, or legs.

Thanks, Sam!

Yes I do! As I sit here at work, I can feel every muscle in my back. Every single one of them is in the throes of DOMS. The combination of keeping the spine neutral during Back Squats, and the alternating Rows, do a real number on the back.

He doesn't have to find the pain. It finds him.

Nice looking workouts lately, DOMS!

great workout there DOMS

I like the idea of alternating between the Yates and regular to hit your back from all angles, very nice.

I have to walk upstairs to get my PWO shake. It's a grueling affair...

WBM, Day 8: Cramp!

It feels like I cramped both of my last, in the middle, down near the spine. Painful!

It may have something to do with forgetting to take a pre-WO shake and not having eaten in over four hours. I think that was why I failed at the end of the RDLs and the Military Presses.

The numbers are starting to get a little tough. On the bench I was doing 84% of my 1 RM. It is most certainly worth it, however.

You hadn't eaten in four hours and you thought the exercises were unexpectedly tough? I wouldn't even have made it through the first exercise!
