Great pump, great workout. Ate more than normal yesterday and shoulder/trap issue is starting to go away. Been removing a lot of knots in my L bicep that was pulling internally rotating my L shoulder.

HS kneeling leg curl - 25x10x3
Bent over hamstring static hold - 50, 100x30Sx2
NG bent over-head cable row - 40, 70, 85xAMRAPx2
Great training session. NG bent over-head cable rows are performed standing, bent at hips with back parallel to the floor. Arms and lats are fully extended overhead at finish/start, then as you row slighting lift your chest up. Tried looking for the exercise name/instructional video but can’t seem to find it. I get a great lat stretch out of this.
Prowler (push-pull/noBase) - 90, 135x30ftx, 180x30ftx10
Front squat (pause) - 135, 185x2, 235, 255, 265, 270x1x2
DB farmers walk - 60x60ft, 85x60ftx3, 85x120ft
Great cardio session. Hips were opened from prowlers and front squats felt really stable even without a belt. Felt I had 315 in me but will try it another time.

Back to the basics for back exercises and feeling strong. Have always loved these basic exercises but stopped for a while due to injuries. Also, been sitting in the sauna for 15-25 mins post every/every other workout and feel like it’s helping with muscle recovery and improving overall well being.
Chest/bi
Pre-activation:
Straight bar seated cable high row - 40x12x2
Peck deck - 45x12x2
Chest:
Incline DB press - 50, 65, 80x8, 85x5x3
BB bench - 135x8x3

Biceps:
1 arm high cable curl - 22.5, 25x8
1 arm low cable curl - 17.5, 20x8
Great workout. Been pre-activiation exercises without recording. They help me tremendously in developing a deep MMC on the first exercise without fatiguing the target muscle. Guess you can call it a type of warm up that’s specific to a body part.
Instead of doing it at the lat pull down machine, I do it at the stead cable row. I bend my hips and sit back so my back is parallel to the floor; at this point my arms are stretched overhead holding onto a NG handle. While slightly raising my chest, I row towards my upper chest. Pause, then go back down for a stretch. I feel it works great to hit the mid/lower traps.
