2010-08-01 SE Upper

Warmup

Bench: 45, 45, 95, 95, 95, 135
5x4 - 160lbs
Getting better at engaging my lats and keeping my arch. It's a work in progress.

Press: 45, 95
4x 125, 125, 125, 120, 120
Lost weight and blame that for this. Next week's the last Press week, and I'm bloody well getting 5x5 with 125. I intend to have 5x5x135 (if not higher) for my birthday.
Oh, and having a training partner enabled me to get that 4th rep with the last set of 125. Props. >.>

DB Floor:
55s x 10, 10 8, 7, 7

T-Bar Rows:
10x 45, 55, 55, 55, 55
Figure out how to rig up a proper T-Bar setup (no bench to support chest, though): Barbell in corner. Clamp on inside, facing in. Plates outside of that. Get carabiner, attach to one of the loops on the clamp. Attach wide-grip lat pulldown bar to carabiner. 25s are ideal for the height, though we're still experimenting with a means of making it easier to get enough forward lean to really ace the movement. Still, best feeling I've had in my lats for a while.

It's possible that we'll wind up alternating T-Bar Rows and Barbell Rows or somesuch and just keep the DB Rows on Lower Day. Or maybe use barbell rows instead of those incline shrugs. I don't know.

Prehab Circuit: Same as usual.
