Pulling

mmmm, Tuna

Pulling day to counter the pushing day.

Romanian Deadlifts
135x8
185x8
205x8
225x8
225x8

Wide Grip Pullups
Cluster Sets - 3 sets......5, 5, 5,........4, 4, 4.......3, 3, 3 (10 second rest)

Cable Row - 3x10......120

Alternate DB Curls - 40sx5, 45sx5, 45xs5

I don't do rdl's all that much, I don't care as much about the weight just my form, 225 for 8 reps though isn't too bad.  I should explain what cluster sets are, I have seen them many different places.  It's simple, on the first set I performed 5 reps, rested 10 seconds, did 5 more reps, rested 10 seconds, and then again did 5 reps....that is one set (rest as needed between sets).  I dropped one rep off each round for the next 2 sets, but only because the set prior to it I barely completed, they were definately harder than I thought they would.  The cable rows felt good as did the curls, good pulling day.
