May 19, 2015 Upper Body

Energy: 4

  • Bench Press: 225*7 225*7 225*7
  • unilateral bb t-bar rows: 135*7 135*7 135*8
  • Push Press: 225*1 235*1
  • Side-to-side Pullups: 6
  • Pendlay Rows: 135*12
  • DB Incline Curls: 30*9 30*6
  • Foam Roller ab rollouts: 3 (kneeling), 1(standing)
NO energy here for some reason. Decided to do some lighter stuff.  Side-to-side pullups just for fun as well, here's a video of someone doing them, except I was gripping with both hands, not resting it on the bar. 

 
Also foam roller ab rollouts hit some parts of my core I am not used to tapping into, like by my hips, I don't know how else to explain it, but I was still sore 3 days later. I think it was the standing variant that got me, so I'm going to add them in to work whatever was lagging. 

Side  note: Since doing the high rep dumbbell work on Thursdays for upper body I've noticed my pecs are clearly more 'square'.  It's not a slight difference.  You can't shape muscles, but you can definitely bring up different muscles in a group to make it appear like it, and that's probably what's going on here. I'm a fan.
