Lol singles FTW!!!

Gotto love our home gyms mate, 2.00 am now and wanted to train more. So busted out DB curls 35sx10 (x4) and some DB swings, 35sx20 (x3)

Indeed, love not having to drive to a gym or wait for people or get bitched at for spilling chalk or making too much noise

Thursday 2.7.13- Woodbench 3B (& Shoulders)


boy was I beat when I got up this morning. lower back was pretty fatigued after the deads and squats yesterday. It didn't seem to linger for long, because as the morning progressed I felt better and better.

Tonight's session went well, got some good work in.

Paused Bench
45 x 10
135 x 5
175 x 3
215 x 5
215 x 5
215 x 5
3 min rest on top sets. All reps paused. Shoulders felt good this week so I did 3 sets of 5 instead of 3x3 (last week they bothered me)

Incline DB
30s x 10
70s x 10
70s x 10
70s x 10
2 min rest. These came up nicely. last few reps on the final set slowed down a touch, but I powered them up no problem. It helps that I've finally got the height set correctly for using the DB hooks. no more awkward unracks hopefully!

Face Pulls
100 x 10
100 x 10
100 x 10
90 sec rest. I haven't done these in forever. They felt nice on the rear delts & upper back

Lateral Raises
20s x 13
20s x 13
20s x 13
90 sec rest. nice and strict

Skulls
45 x 10
85 x 10
85 x 10
85 x 10
90 sec rest (except for final set- 150 sec). Holy hell the pump from these was huge. Tris felt massive afterwards

[BabyOilBrah]

nice pause work bro! I like it. Killer set of poundstones on that last workout too.

Thanks dude! I can already feel a difference coming off the chest even after just two weeks of paused work. I think the DB work I've been doing is helping too.

those poundstones sucked.

awesome, this is gonna prep you well for the 3 plate attempt. Should rocket off your chest!

lol I know the last 10 reps of every poundstone set are fukin killers, hurts so bad.

[jshaw5]

Don't encourage him.

Skulls
45 x 10
85 x 10
85 x 10
85 x 10
90 sec rest (except for final set- 150 sec). Holy hell the pump from these was huge. Tris felt massive afterwards

lots of impressive shiz in today's session but heavy, high volume skulls after paused barbell press and incline DB press? like a bawse mutha jumpa

[Woody-5]

Hopefully! I know if I can get the bar off my chest enough so the tris take over, I can lock it out

poundstones start to burn between 20-30. above 40 they just straight up hurt lol

Don't encourage him.

Haha j/k, nice work woody. 3 plates will be smashed when you go for it.

Thanks dude, 3 plates better pepper it's angus

Thanks mate! the skulls were a brutal finisher. Can't show any mercy!

[Ironlife]

Woodman bench is going along nicely, fine paused benching in here.

Those tris are getting strong., 85 on skullz for 10! Solid work

[chazzy1864]

Encouragement is for women! We're men. We berate, belittle and discourage each other until the feat is accomplished! Then, and only then, can you offer praise in the form of "Nice job, bro!", "That's awesome, man!" and/or a single firm smack on the ass followed up by a "Nice play, bro!". Get your sh*t together, guys!

Thanks my man! CGBP w chains and those skulls are taking good care of my triceps.
Paused benching felt way better than last week. Launched them up like nothing

Lol without a little trash talk there just isn't a competition

You can tell how long new people at my work are going to last by how well they handle the sh!t talk and insults

[Raigs]

I just watched yesterdays video Holy 53 reps on the poundstones. Do you feel touch and go is easier on deads?

Bench is looking good along with the Skulls heavy work with short rest thats great

Thanks hombr�

Touch n go is definitely easier. It easier for me to stay tight and keep in the groove instead of resetting myself in between reps.

[moshvr]

Great work Woody. Paused benching is awesome!

[howimliving]

I'll encourage you too brah

Snow has been falling all day but it's only added up to about 4-5" so far. The worst is yet to come late tonight when the real storm gets here. If the meteorologists are correct, I'll be waking up to 24" more

[pastorpritch]

Where you at wood?
We're starting to get snow here and I'm lovin' it

You mean you didn't get it already?


I hope you have a good weekend! Will be doing some shoveling for cardio?

[The Shoeless Wonder]

Saturday 2.9.13- Volume Day


I'm officially snowed in for the weekend as you can see from the pic above
Luckily we still have power (and hopefully it'll stay that way!)
I hit a nice session today. Volume Squats were the most challenging yet but it felt good to hammer through them.

I've noticed my intensity and drive has been really high this week. When I feel like I'm done with a set, I'm finding myself digging down and pounding out 2-3 more. Feelsgood

Warmups:
Band Pull-Aparts (BTN, Pull Aparts (Front), Band Pull-Throughs and Band Face Pulls
3 circuits x 10 reps of each

Volume Squats
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 1
255 x 1
280 x 5
280 x 5
280 x 4 +1 (realized I miscounted after I racked the bar so I got under and hit one more)
280 x 5
280 x 5
5 min rest. Definitely the most challenging VD yet. Still hit everything no problem though.

Leg Curls
75 x 10
75 x 10
75 x 10
90 sec rest

Chin Ups
BW x 5
+30 x 5
+30 x 5
+30 x 5
120 sec rest. pretty sure these are PRs. I've done higher reps with +30 pounds before, but my BW was probably 170-180 lbs instead of the 205+ that I am now

Decline Situps
x20
x20
x20

SS w/

Calf Raises
60 x 20
60 x 12 / BW x 12
60 x 20
90 sec rest between SS.

Poundstones
45 x 32
dunno if it was the chinups or just the volume taking it's toll on me, but I had nothing left for these today
