How's it feeling for you?

Oh - meant to ask - can you add weight to your chins?
 
My butt hurts. After squats my legs were pretty fried. I found a good spot on my back however.

I can't add weight to chins, unless I buy a belt or find some other way to do it.
 
I've been known to string a couple of old t-shirts together to weight them. You could also try an old backpack - might be more comfortable worn backward.

Weight check as of last night 80.1kg (176). Started creatine again after a while break so should see weight go up a bit. I'm hoping to get it up to around 85kg (187) in the next couple months.

Chins 3x10

So nice to see chins and heavy rack pulls in a workout. One arm lat pulldowns are a personal favourite of mine - it's amazing how much better those hit lats than bilateral pulldowns!

The one red flag I see is the upright rows. You ever feel any shoulder pain from these? Because cleans are WAY better (AND way cooler!), and might be a very nice sub for this movement.

Thoughts?
 
No I don't ever get shoulder pain from them. I am doing hang clean and press, but after a week or so I felt my traps were shrinking. Upright rows seem to hit them very well.

OOHHH! I got a chain to hang weight from the gym belt. :bounce:

Watch it with the rows.

Do you do hang cleans, or off the floor?
 
I freaking LOVE those.

How do you do 'em - what rep range, weight used etc. And how often?
 
I do hang clean and press. I could up the weight if i dropped the press part. I have been doing low reps, once a week.
 
I do both. Heavier for the hang cleans, and lighter for the clean and press - sometimes I just do split-jerks and blow off the clean and press part entirely.

How much can you hang clean for a triple?
 
Okay, well, how much for hang clean and press?
 
That's a respectable clean and press!

Now, next time you are supposed to do upright rows, try doing hang cleans, but no press. Get that weight up! I can hang clean a 5-rep set with 115, and a triple with 120 - but only clean and press 95. You should be able to do a LOT more than me if you can clean and press 120! I'll be interested to hear what you think (and how you feel the next day) when you go really heavy on the hang clean without the press. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what happens to your shoulders, traps and forearms!

I forgot what I was squatting last time, and thought I was having a hard time with the same weight, when I really upped the weight and reps quite a bit.
