Another long, sleepless night.  It wasn’t so bad at first (I had Pink Floyd stuck in my head), until I got the theme song to the Little Einsteins stuck in my head.  Then I was wishing for a baseball bat to the head.

Great back workout.  Started off with Barbell rows (hands supinated).  Really had my form going strong for me today.  Makes my workouts more efficient than just hoisting the weight around.  Four sets were supinated (12,10,9,8,) and three sets with hands pronated (8,8,10).  I just can’t say enough about how my back was feeling it more than usual today (great form).  I’d pat myself on the back, but I’m a bit sore.

Pull ups were next.  I alternated between wide grip (supinated) and hammer grip.  Not sure how many sets I did, my focus was on the magic rep number of 75.  Didn’t make it (64), but that’s okay.

Rack pulls were next.  My form was a bit off here.  It felt like my left side was dominating this time.  Worked my way through four sets (8,8,8,8) and moved onto dumbbell rows (10,8,8,6).  OW!

Three sets of weighted hangs, and then it was time for forearms.  Alternated between close grip wrist curls and wide grip wrist curls.  Four sets and then reverse wrist curls finished me off.

Followed that with two quick sets of weighted hangs, but my forearms were shot, so they weren’t very good.

Just a quick 10 min. cool down for cardio.
