Notes: Left hamstring was hurting/tight after first camber bar squat set and onwards. Figured I would get in only the main lift, and supplemental lift then shut it down for today. Not the best day, but I accomplished my minimum training objectives and now plan to focus on recovery.
D2: Barbell Row 3x5 (225lb)
Note: Took a long break from training due to work, burn-out, and vacation with family/friends. Easing back into training with a full-body workout.
Notes: Replacing Max Effort work this week with a triple at 85% in attempt to follow an approach/modification Matt Wenning suggested in a YouTube video regarding how to apply Conjugate for Raw Lifters.
Assist: Neutral Grip Lat Pull 3x15 (120lb)
Notes: At end of a long day just wanted to get in some physical movement but nothing too taxing. Played around with an idea I seen the other day involving a quasi-high pull / upright row done controlled and more slowly than a true high pull on the smith machine. It was meh…rather do snatch grip high pull with a barbell. Then just hit some back and shoulders to pick apart some weaknesses with additional weekly volume.
Assist: Tricep Pushdown 3x15(50lb)
Notes: Never been good at behind the neck press. Starting light and doing reps. Always get a weird feeling (not pain but uncomfortable at least) when doing these. Not sure if I just have a huge weakness behind the neck, or just a shoulder/socket not structured well to allow the movement as well as some.
These were weird, hit chest more but also uncomfortable on palms of hands for some reason.
C: Cmbr Bar Seal Row 3x8-12
Wide Handles on Cmbr Swiss Bar
147lbx12, 187lbx9, 177lbx10
D1: BB Upright Row 3x8-12
95lbx15, 115lbx15, 135lbx8
Shoulder-Width Grip, Pull Bar to Chest Height (Not Too High), Pull Bar Away from Body 6” as it comes up from resting on thighs. Elbows Up/Out/Fwd (Not Back)
Sort of like a slow, controlled high pull but targeting Side Delts vs Traps/Upper Back
