666 Back and Calves Training 8/23/6
Damn are my chest and legs sore. These are some tough workouts and I normally don’t lift with a partner but a good friend at the gym asked if he could train back with me today and I said why not. Little did he know that he was in for some truly grueling training. Here was today’s workout.
Assisted Pull Ups: 15, 15
Pull ups: bw + 25lbs x 6, bw + 25lbs x 6, bw + 25lbs x 6, bw + 25lbs x 6, bw + 25lbs x 6, bw + 25lbs x 6
Underhand Barbell Rows: 135 x 10, 225 x 6, 225 x 6, 285 x 6, 285 x 6, 285 x 6, 225 x 6
Palms In Lat Pulldown: 150 x 10, 200 x 6, 200 x 6, 200 x 6, 200 x 6, 225 x 6, 185 x 6
Dumbell Pullovers: 50 x 10, 90 x 6, 100 x 6, 100 x 6, 100 x 6, 100 x 6, 100 x 6
Cable Rows: 150 x 10, 240 x 6, 240 x 6, 200 x 6, 200 x 6, 200 x 6, 185 x 6
Sarcev Style Wide Grip Deads: 135 x 6, 135 x 6, 135 x 6, 135 x 6, 135 x 6, 135 x 6
As you can obviously tell, my lifts weren’t to high and tapered off towards the end of the workout. On the surface this appears to be more of a strength routine when in reality it is volume training taking into account the 30 second rest between sets. It is truly exhausting.
For calves I decided just to some Hybrid Calve Training (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/fitshow30.htm) that I saw on the Fit Show awhile back. My calves have really exploaded since incorporating the philosophy behind this training. The following giant set was complete four time for four sets:
Calve Press (on a leg press): 360 x 30
Standing Calve Press (flat foot): bw x 30
Standing Calve Press (on two plates): bw x 30
Single Leg Calve Presses (on two plates): bw x 15/15
