todays training defined…INSANITY
I don’t know what happened today but somehow the former version of myself came out to play for a little while in the gym today and I liked it. My strength was compariable to what it was when I was weighing 230lbs. It was back day and it started right from the get go. Rev grip wide lat pulls, I started with the weight I have been for sometime now 150 and it was too easy… hmmmm what the hell is going on here? Bumped it up to 165 again easy 15 reps, so lets kick it up again 180 for 15, 200 for 12 and 220 for 10…. I don’t recall doing 220 ever before, ok someone pinch me I possessed or something. Well with the strength being good today I figured to do some T-Bars, its been months since I’ve really rocked them and to be honest I wanted to see if the increase in strength was just isolated to my lats or my entire back. I started it out light, 3 plates and after 30 reps still no burn. I jumped it up to 5 plates and rocked 15 reps, slow and concentrated good burn, followed by 6 plates for the same and finishing with 7 plates for 12. Next DB rows and this is when I decided that I truly was under the influence of the gods or something. 100×15, 110×15, 120×12, 130×10….again I don’t ever recall ever doing anything over 120 db’s on this movement. Well I decided at this point I better get into some defining movements, because if I didn’t break the cycle right that instant this workout was gonna become a old school powerlifting workout and I was fighting the urge to do some heavy deads… I really miss my deads, 2 weeks until I get to do them again, can’t wait for the shins to BLEED. Anyway, I finished the workout up with 1 arm seated cable rows superset with close grip pulldowns 4 sets and then weighted hanging back extensions. No ab work today, I really hit them hard yesterday with the chest, but I did the cardio up. 35 mins stairclimber pre lifting and 15mins seated bike post lifting. All around great training day, hopefully the next 11 days that follow will go every bit as well and I can finish this lean out period the right way. Strength & Honor
