Tina's Building It UP with Pure-Amino

[fitcopforlife]

Awesome work in here, 8 reps on pullups for three sets is fantastic.

[tina722]

Great workout today! Love the volume. Do you prefer OHP over DB Shoulder press?

oops. technically today I did DB shoulder press. I don't know which one I like better, since I feel weak at both. Kicking up the DBs suck, but range of motion is longer (harder) on OHP with BB.

thanks. I love the pullups, been working on them forever.

Yeah the kick up on 90's for DB Shoulder press is a bish for me

Friday 2/8/13

Work schedule is a little weird for the next week, not sure when I'll be getting in. Ended up going in the morning for some form work. Had planned on doing handstands and pullups also, but only got the pullups done.

2 scoops of pure-amino this AM.

Back Squats
95x8
115x8
135x8
135x3(x8) <- 30 sec rest, working form and speed

then some singles, because I wanted to see if I could still handle the weight
1@155, 175, 185(x3), 195<- matches previous PR (beltless)

- singles feel good, just reps kill me
- will need to start working with the belt again to get used to using it

Chinups
15x5(x2)

Pullups
15x5 vid

Very solid Friday workout!!

Saturday 2/10/13

Got out of work by 3pm, so made it to the gym. Although I didn't really feel like working out it ended up being a decent workout.

1 scoop of pure-amino preworkout. I've been feeling nauseous after working out lately, which I normally wouldn't worry about too much, but it's been difficult to eat. I'm decreasing supplements a little bit to try to get more food in.

Back Squats
135x5
155x5
165x5(x2)
175x5(x2) <- belted.

Squats are starting to feel good again. Today was a #10 increase over last session. I think I have one more #10lb increase, before dropping to 5# increases

GMs
95x8
105x8
115x8(x2)

Easy. Looking forward to increasing this as well.

Snatch dead
135x3
185x3
205x3
Some playing around with form at 135. Will need to get these fixed as well.

Conventional dead
185x1
205x1
235x1
Difficult.

Pullups
BWx5(x2)
Nice and slow.

[tina722]

205 snatch dead.

Form isn't great. I'm working to correct that.

[MattRage]

Thanks. yes, and then always fear of bicep injury. I'll use alternate for heavier stuff, but need to work grip strength... get rid of the straps probably.

hi! and thanks!

1 scoop of pure-amino preworkout. Feeling a lot better with less supplements - easier to eat etc. DOMS from a week ago are officially gone, and I think I'm just about back to normal strength levels. I need to keep on top of supplements and food to see increases from here out.

Back Squats
135x5
155x5
165x5 (belted for this and up)
175x5
185x5 <- YAY! Depth felt good. I'm slooow coming up.
135x10

Front Squats/Standing leg curls
95x10(x2)/2 sets

Leg extensions
2 drop sets.

Short, but fun. Feeling a lot more confident at squats, although I'm sooo slow coming up. Extra work may need to be form/speed work with light weight.

[MattRage]

edit.. nope..

[MattRage]

nice squat.. i have a buddy who barely squats 185..

[therockap1]

Keep up the great work in here!!!

haha me too I love my versa gripps but when I decided to do some powerlifting I couldn't pull over 500 without them , I just don't have the grip strength anymore but as long as I look like I do I'm ok with it

[tina722]

lol. I'm pretty happy with my squats, but have worked really hard on them. Can't wait to be repping out 2 plates!!

Keep up the great work in here!!!

Thanks! Always working hard.

Isn't that the truth. I keep thinking I should get versa gripps, but the price has scared me away so far.

Pretty strong BB benching and incline. Pullups and pushups are also a great way to finish you off after a good workout.

[tatteredsaint]

[MattRage]

nice chest day... more vids!!

great work.. and sick on top of it..

agree about pullups/pushups. It was my first time supersetting - couldn't believe how difficult it made them
