back on track
INCREDIBLE workout this morning, as I knew it would be.
Felt pretty aggressive, so I busted out some power schematics to take advantage of the feeling, just felt like moving heavy weight today. Not anything I would necessarily recommend doing at this point in prep, but it felt right for me this day; besides, it’s the last chest/back day before peak week protocol, so wth..
CHEST/BACK
10×3 incline BB (285, 45 sec. rest)
5×10-12 flat DB flyes (45 sec. rest)
8×8 deadlifts (315, 60 sec. rest)
5×12 1-arm DB rows (75, 45 sec. rest)
12 minutes HIIT
Everything straight sets today, but kept rest periods down. Was extremely pleased w/ all aspects — kept the negative nice & slow on inclines (almost snapped my neck on that last rep of last set, but got it up; one of the disadvantages of training alone, there’s no one to help ya). Not a strong guy on deads, but I rarely do them, concentrate on stiff-legged & Romanian forms for hammies, so that was good weight for me. Nice pump in the lower back from this.
Strength was off the hook today - I would go ahead and say the inclines were a PB (in this type format). I’ve done 295 for 10×3’s before, but not w/ concentrated negatives or 45 sec. rests, used 2 min. rests previous. Most definitely some factors boosting the training today - carb rush from Hades!
I’ve passed several PBs at points thruout this prep, in terms of both strength & endurance; I’ve learned not to be surprised.
Kinda felt this coming. Combination of great supplements fueling my progress, as well as those supps allowing me to train in a non-keto nutritional environment, it’s a PowerFULL 1-2 punch there (couldn’t resist the product pun on that one, hah)..
