Re-Start

D2 in the books. Kind of a ho hum workout. Started out pretty good, but when I left all the pump was gone and no muscle ache/soreness happening.

Pull Ups:
BW x 10x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3=40

Seated Rows:
160 x 10x3x3x3x3x3x4x3x4x4=40

Rear Delt Fly's
35 x 10x7x6x5x5x4=37
*weird. I lightened the weight in order to get a better range of motion, but it lost the burn all together

DB Curls (one arm at a time):
35's x 10x5x3x3x3x3x3x3x3=36

DB Hammer curls (curling together)
35's x 10x5x4x4x4x4=31

Neautral Grip Pulldowns:
115 x 10x10x6x6=32

Abs - Sit ups = 100

I was just noticing last night at the gym that my hands aren't completely wrapped around the bar and just my fingertips are there to maintain pressure on the grips. Most of the pulling weight is transferred to the wrists. I do have callouses though, but they're not horrible.

I think that's the issue, I wrap too tight, and the skin at the base of the fingers gets rubbed between the versa and the bar. They went from normal calluses to horrible pretty fast. I'll try just the fingertips, thanks Jay.

Solid workout, btw.

I would say just do your best at using as little of your own grip strength as possible and let the versa's do the work.

Saturday's D3 workout. Not bad, not great either.

185 x 8x4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4=40
*I'm thinking of changing this to back squats or adding BS to the routine

Leg Extensions:
230 x 10x4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4=42

Standing Calf Raises:
360 x 15x12x10x10x10x10x10x10=77

90 x 10x10x10x10x10=50

No hammy work was done. I was kind of pressed for time.
