Great session. Last rep of last set of deadlifts was sooo slow off the floor, lockout was nothing though. I felt nauseous today...strange. I haven't felt like puking from training in a long time. I've been having a hard time stomaching food since yesterday afternoon.
 
Hmmm, yes and no. The movement is nearly the same, but the force mechanics are a bit different. A swing is done as explosively as possible, and when you go into the hip hinge, you basically throw the weight between your legs to get a really powerful stretch reflex in the hammies and glutes to rebound you back into extension. They have done wonders for my lock out strength in the deadlift and squat.

3x6 x2 95 lbs

weighted chin up -
6x3 +35 lbs (neutral x3, supinated x3)

unilateral DB row -
3x12 each side 100 lbs

stretch

Done. I trained at my hometown gym today (home for Easter), and the dumb bell hands are a bit longer, and it makes the weight feel A LOT heavier. Those longer bells are much harder to stabilize. 95 felt like 105. Time to eat like a champ, then get piss ass drunk.

back box squat -
5x5 225 lbs

DB Bulgarian squats -
3x5 each side x2 75 lbs

weighted chin up -
4x3 +40 lbs (neutral x3, supinated x1)

KB unilateral OHP -
3x8 each side 60 lbs (last rep on right side was a +1, had to rest about 15 seconds. Can't believe I failed on the right side, which is my stronger side. Goes to show how much doing my left side first takes out of my core strength.)

Everything was really tough today.

Feeling kind of sick...scratchy throat, mild lethargy and nausea. However, I felt just well enough to train. On Saturday I was up late drinking, slept 2 hours and went to work all day Sunday. I felt ok yesterday, and even Sunday I felt decent, I think the stress is hitting me today.

However, today was a strong workout! OHP felt superb.
 
well I am catching back on logs and I only had to go back two pages. I guess I am not the only one who has taken a bit of a break LOL

lol, yeah. Things have been a little slow. Partying and getting a bit sick thinned out my training recently.

Between the drinking and Bulgarian squats..... damn I wish I was your age again. :)

:D You mean I can't do this forever?

Squats when hungover is the ultimate test of a mans commitment to the gym

Well said, Dave. haha

Awesome session. Everything felt strong, except for the chin ups.
 
I just realized I forgot to post my last deadlift w/o:

Deadlift -
3x3 415 lbs

RDL -
3x6 295 lbs

KB swing -
5x12 60 lbs

calf raise machine -
5x10 #130
 
I presume KB swings hit the hamstrings if they are in this workout?! How do you rate them compared to good mornings etc?
 
Swings definitely hit the hamstrings, but the exercise trains all the hip extensors very well: hammies, glutes, adductor magnus.

The swing and the good morning are the same movement, but different exercise. The swing is very high velocity (fast), while the good morning is more a slow strength move done with heavy weight. The swing is good for developing powerful hip extension, while the good morning is great for absolute strength in hip extension.\

The shape and handling of the KB makes it very easy to throw it around fast. You can really throw that thing around as hard as you can with safe mechanics, the same can't be said for a barbell.
 
Today -

warm up

box squat -
5x5 245 lbs (I'm adapting to this exercise again, today felt easier than the previous two weeks training it, even though this is the heaviest weight thus far in this phase).

DB Bulgarian squat -
3x5 each side x2 85 lbs

Holy shit, those Bulgarians were really tough.
