Pylon's new journal

Spending a couple of days in Fayetteville, NC. The hotel has a deal with a nice gym down the street, so should be able to hit the gym for cardio today and power arms/shoulders tomorrow.

Power week - chest and back

HS flat press - 180x5, 160x7, 160x5 (total weight)
pec deck - 135x8, 150x6, 150x6
db incline press - 60x5, 50x8, 55x5 (per db)

rack deads - 275x6, x5, x6
pulldowns - 145x8, 150x7, x6
bent over bb rows - 135x8, x6, x6
HS front pulldown - 90x8, 140x8, x7

I'd be lying if I said I was happy with the weights. This is why I love leg day so much. I feel like I really lag behind in upper body strength.

I think I can handle more weight on the deads, but I think the skin on my hands was about to give. Had to do the rows standing over a bench (no where else to go.) I hated spring break because of all the kids that would show up at the gym. Now I'm going to hate the summer for the same reason.

Overall, good w/o. Time was around 45 minutes. I took long RIs early (as Gopro suggests) but started cutting back later. I like the 1-2 min intervals, I think, not 3-4 min. Should be better next time thru.
Great start Brother, welcome aboard the P/RR/S Train!!! The weights will all come to you in time, like Brother Gary says, the first weeks are always the hardest, trying to guess what weights and stuff like that!!!

one question though....................No Deads AngelStyle??? :laugh:

No, no Angel stylin' on the dead. The skin on my hands felt like it was about to tear off as it was, I can't imagine trying to hold for the extra time that would have taken. My gym has a HS deadlift machine, I may try that down the road, just to mix things up.

I hope the weights come along. I feel so out of balance when I compare my upper lifts to my lowers...
 
Got in my cardio tonight, 15 min treadmill (bouncing from light plod to power walk steep incline) and 15 min intervals on the bike. A/C was turned off, so got a good sweat going right away. It made me feel better about dinner. (We went to a mongolian BBQ place. Not too bad, stayed with chicken and sirloin, but they are a little liberal with the oil on the grill. At least it was EV olive oil, not lard or butter.)

Hmm, that's about about an hour away from where I'm at, Durham NC.
 
Power - arms and shoulders

I didn't get to lift Wednesday due to travel, so I am doing back to back lifting days. Should be fun...

BB mil press - 135x4, 115x6, x6
upright bb row - 115x8, 125x6, x6
bb shrugs - 225x8, 275x6, x6
cheat laterals - 30x8, x8, 35x6 (first time I've done these. I like them.)

Flex curls - 80x6, x5, 70x6 (Much better ROM on the last set)
drag curls - 70x8, 80x8, 90x6 (put these in at the last second, wanted to change the angle a litle and didn't think cory curls would do it)
HS preacher - 45x8, 70x7, x6

CS smith press - 140x8, 160x6, x5
DB french press - 60x8, 70x6, x6
Vbar pushdown - 205x6, x4, 190x8 (put these in over single arm db ext at the last second to change the angle. I think this worked out well.)

W/o time right around an hour. Way too long for my tastes. These long RIs are killing me. I tried sticking to around 2 min, but got a little impatient on some.

Power legs tomorrow! :rocker:
 
Great w/o Pylon!! For Power week I recommend keeping the RI's to at least 2 min. If you wanted you could cut out 1 set from each of the Bi's and Tri's exercises and really make the 2 sets count.

Your putting up some nice weight buddy, have your numbers been increasing? Have fun with Legs :p

How did you l;ike the drags? I tried them previously, but they didnt do anything for me except make my thumbs hurt :shrug:
 
GREAT w/o there Brother Pylon!!! Your numbers are lookin really good too!!! Sure, your into P/RR/S, and I'm seriously contemplating going back to HIT!!! :(
 
Looks like somebody is catching onto P/RR/S routine very quickly. Nice wo pylon.

Thanks Roc...I may do that next time around. What kind of RIs am I looking at for RR and S weeks?

I liked them as a change of pace lift. I don't think I could build a routine around them, but I always feel like bi work is so repetitive...curl curl curl...this was a change, at least a little, and made the transition from flex curls to preachers a little better, I think.

Thanks Blu. I'm not sure how well I'm getting it just yet. These RIs are driving me nuts. Coming from HIT with no min rest to 3 min breaks is tough!

Geeez nice workout there Pylon, especially BB Military Presses. It was only a few months ago when I was benching 135.
Thanks. I still feel like I'm not lifting enough...I mean, the weights are right, but compared to leg day, I feel weak on upper work, you know?
