38 minutes!

Heavy week after a light week.  Felt good, didn't feel like I really lost any strength. Bumped up weight on the t-bar rows since I usually do them for medium weights.  Same with landmine laterals.  Tried TRX pushups but those things slice into my arms while I'm pushing myself up. Not good times.  Looking forward to next Thursday to see if my high rep session goes any better than the one last week. Also, did landmines here since I forgot Tuesday. 

July 11, 2013 Upper Body / Light

• Incline Bench Press: 185*10 205*3-weak link found 295*7
• Pullups: 40*8 40*7 40*7
• Standing Press: 135*8 135*6 135*6
• Unilateral T-Bar Rows: 155*6 165*5

• Face-Pulls: 25*10 35*12

 43 minutes

So I decided to incorporate higher rep stuff into my routine.  Every other week I'm going to go light on an upper body day; this week was Thursday, this coming week Monday will be my light day.  On lower body days I'll go medium weights instead of light.   I think I found what's been missing in my training. After that 185*10 on incline bench I was so gassed I could barely get 3 at 205 a few minutes later.  It's like I have 0 lactic acid tolerance.  It was the same for every lift here really, I wasn't getting nearly enough reps on anything really.   So that's good to know...Tried some trx stuff...the reverse flyes are ridiculously hard, I face planted after two of them. Even the pushups, I felt as much in my rhomboids as my chest.

• BB Incline Bench: 245*3 245*3 235*4
• DB Rows: 105*10 115*7 120*5
• DB Seated Press: 65*7 75*6 85*5
• TRX-Elevated Feet Pushups:  20, 15
• Side Planks: 1

Not too shabby....did some rowing, haven't done much recently.  I've been doing pullups instead, and my back is reacting well, but I want to make sure I don't go completely away from rowing.  Tried pushups with my feet in a TRX, but wasn't too impressed.  If I do pushups I'll go with one hand on a medicine ball.  Side planks too for fun.  The seated press was because all the racks were taken.
