I like you how did the 115 drop set, then went back to high rep 95, then added another 115 drop set. may have to try that

I like the new split and diet adjustments (sharing all your secrets, eh?) haha.

am thinking about working some deads back into the mix now that i'm making good progress on the rows. since rows will still be my primary back exercise (with weighted chins), I'll probably throw in some deads on leg day to keep them separate from the rows and chins.

decline leg press = hack squats?

Secrets! I wish everyone my success

I like to do weighted chins before before db rows (since I gave up BB rows )

Ive always kept deads on leg day... To me back day is about "Lats", plus I feel like lower back (deads) works more in conjunction with legs (squats)

I feel different contractions with decline leg press & hack squats

ahhhh don't worry about the bench numbers, they still look good. and shake the mental aspect of the 'well i'm on a cut so getting weaker' mentality - you can keep your strength- just keep pushin hard!

still, solid workout there. I like the inclusion of multiple sets of ab work - I need to start donig more like that!

all that lat work is nasty bro
---> I approve!

Congrats on the DB Bent-over-Row PR! very nice.
(see you can still add strength while cutting )

The TBar/Cable Row superset is a nice touch. What kind of grip are you using on the cable rows? the triangle attachment, straight bar attachment, close grip?

The PR wasn't from an increase in strength, but because I used wrist straps for the 1st time on that workout

We focused all inside grip today (next time will be all wide)... I used the close grip attachment on the cable rows

Thanks for the feedback, my 1 & only follower HA

HA! well, only reason I have followers is that i've become active in a couple other logs. But yeah we are basically similar size and goals, and pretty close on strength (well, okay you got me good on deads - check my workout log and laugh today, haha) but i'll take you out on bench A little healthy competition sure doesn't hurt to help keep this ol' man (me) in shape, lol.

Who cares about the straps- it's a PR! take it
