Close-Grip Lat Pulldowns - Supinated-Grip 3 sets 6 reps 215lbs. Barbell Curls 3 sets 6 reps 100lbs. Hammer Strength Preacher Curls 3 sets 6 reps 90lbs. Barbell Wrist Curls 3 sets 6 reps 145lbs. Life Fitness Abdominal Crunch 2 sets 6 reps 200lbs. 1 set 5 reps 200lbs. Took out the hammer chins and replaced them with hammer pulldowns. To be honest, I feel like pulldowns work my lats better than chins or pullups. Not a popular statement for this site but I have to be honest. Good workout. More work performed throughout except on the last set of machine crunches. |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 162 | 7/24/07 I have decided to take a break from lifting heavy and try increasing my reps near a 10 rep minimum and improving my endurace. I have been lifting for so long heavy it will be nice to have a break from it. I am probably going to switch up the days I perform each body part on too. Back Pendlay Row switched to a wide grip hand placement 135lbs 10,10,10 Pendlay Row shoulder width neutral grip hand placement 135lbs 10,10,10 Yates Row 135lbs 10,10,10 Wide G. Pullup BW 5,5 Close G. Pullup BW 6,5,5 Neutral G. Pullup 6,5 |

I can not believe how fatiqued my muscles get during the workout. Man those weighted triceps dips felt light but it was nice not to have to put a 140lbs on my belt. That was becoming a pain in the ass getting those plates of the dip bar. I am going to leave legs out again this week I just do not want to chance it. I think it needs more time to heal my knee still feels funky. |
