Legs


Epic leg workout with Brett, we were going to go for a new 1 rep max on deadlifts, he picked conventional and I picked sumo but changed my grip so I didn't have to use straps.  First we started with band deadlifts

I love it.  That ties a life time pr on my deadlifts, and the most weight I have ever loaded onto a barrbell.  If you watch the last time I did it, it went much slower.  This lift moved smoothly and by looking at it, now seems like I could have gone higher, but maybe another day.  I also prefer this new style with a slightly wider grip, allowing me to use a mix grip and ditch straps.  Back squats felt a hell of a lot harder after the deadlifts, my posterior was smoked and lacked some of the stability, but 255 for the last two sets I was very happy with.  Here is the max deadlift.

Arms



Today I worked out with Brett, he is in an arms competition and did a bicep/tricep day.  I don't remember everything we did, but it was 3 exercises back to back all for biceps, then 3 for triceps, then 3 more for biceps and triceps each.  It burned like crazy and left me with a huge pump.  Fun workout!

Last time I tried 275 on box squats I got 2 reps with the safeties in place, today I got 5 without, very happy...guess my increase in low bar back squats has carried over!!

Upper Pull



Ran into Brett and did one triplet set of his bicep routine, included reverse curls, hammer curls, then preacher curls....just to try it.  It sapped my strength a bit for my back workout to come, but not too much.
