MattSxvx Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Changed up my workouts a little bit lately as I havent had time to make it in 4/5 days a week. Goal is to make it in atleast 3 days a week. Routine has turned into more of a full body type thing with compound lifts mostly dominating everything. BB Incline Bench Press:135x5155x5175x5195x3215x1225x1235xFAILED175x5175x10175x10175x10 Rack Deadlifts: (no chalk, no wrist wraps, no gloves...)55x10145x10235x5325x2375x1425x1445x1325x1235x5 Sumo Rack Deadlifts: (very close grip)235x5235x5235x5235x20 burnout set BB Squats:45x10135x10185x10235x5135x10225x5275x1325x1225x5135x8 Legs were not feeling great today. Hip Flexors were really sore during all sets. Forced myself to do the 325 and probably didnt make it all the way to parallel today. Bench Dips:BWx100 all in one set, had a few rest pauses of 1/2 seconds Strict Barbell Curls:75x875x875x8 Palms Up BB Wrist Curl Over Bench:75x1075x1075x10 SS w/ Palms Down DB Wrist Curl Over Bench10sx1010sx1010sx10 Whole workout was in a rotation format between the compound lifts almost like a giant set with short rest periods between. Felt good to get multiple PR's in one workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Good work on your PR's Matt, nice going. Why do you think you failed with the 235 bench? Hope you had a good weekend MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSxvx Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 I got it off my chest and halfway up, but that was it. The weight wouldnt budge after that. I think I could do it if I didnt do so many sets before attempting 235. It is going to happen next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSxvx Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Had another tough one today. BB Power Clean and Press:45x1070x1090x6100x5120x3140x1140x1150x1 First time doing these in 4 months.

I need to keep clean and press in my workouts consistently from now on. Didnt Curl mich weight today as the intention was on breaking down my already worn out forearms.

MattSxvx Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Had a really crappy workout today. Felt really lethargic and was having aches and pains everywhere. Snapped a pic atleast. Deadlifts are good for you. Probably not even going to post the workout. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/timeimperfectxxx/610D3BD4-C80F-40FA-B2A4-037D300E4E32-6859-000007724C856BDE-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
