Mine too - especially unilateral rows. Gives a great squeeze in the back, nice

Nice deads too mate - ooh, high reps, that'll sting especially after that leg day you just had

yea... i was kinda bummed because i couldn't get my deads above 125 today. my legs really were tired. also my grip was suffering from all the pullups, one-armed rows, and seated rows, so the bar was already starting to slip out of my grip. if i went up 10 more pounds i wouldn't have been able to hold it.

time to work on my grip strength, eh?
and yes, my legs are a little more sore today. not looking forward to tomorrow with the aftermath of the deads...

Grip strength is the key :thumb

I wouldnt be too hard on yourself though, dude - thats a damn good workout up there. Throwing supersets in is hard work

Agreed - especially following your leg workout.

thanks, katt!

my w/o's take me about 45 min. I do at least 60sec RIs since I'm working on upping the weight - that and supersetting makes a bit longer. whenever i start adding in hiits i'll need to start waking up earlier....

zottmans... i've been doing those back since highschool. i just didn't know what they were called

BRother Half was the one that enlightened me. thanks bro!

rofl, can you imagine a 5'5'' guy that weighs 170lb? with all those muscles on me i'd look reeaaaallllyy short.

although now that i think of it, i still need to go buy a scale so i can start weighing everyday.

but seriously, i've really been enjoying my trips to the gym lately. the pretty blonde girl that's there in the morning is good motivation too

she reminds me of jamie eason

JailHouse · 03-19-2008, 01:07 PM

speaking of weight gain, have you gone up any on the scale?

i dunno. i need to buy a scale and find out

i'll get one tonight/tomorrow. i'm pretty sure i'm gained something (fat or muscle - one of the two) because i can tell my pants fit not quite as loosely as they used to.

thing is i didn't want to start weighing myself obsessively every day right off the bat. i'm not expecting much gain. not until it's been at least a month or two. but we'll see.

*crosses fingers*

Whatever works right??

the other half · 03-20-2008, 10:00 AM

i make the mistake of weighing myself every morning that we workout. but i really only pay attention to the weight on friday, after cleaner eating, cardio, and lifting all week.

i think that you would be suprised, at what someone that is 5'5 and a 170 lbs. looks like, besides you cant get any taller, so you might as well get BIGGER

Scarface30 · 03-20-2008, 02:49 PM

hey man, thought I'd drop by. workouts are coming along great dude

as for the grip, do you train grip directly? check out Gaz's blog, he has a write up in there about it.

StanUk · 03-21-2008, 04:56 AM

Looking good still Nad, keep up the good work pal!

Hint: (You can cheat by buying lifting straps, until your grip catches up)
