    jeeeez-us....I cant imagine. Dont do much in rows, I use it as an accessory on bench day,....should I be pushing my rows as hard as my bench? I am working for a 160 1rm in bench soon...should I be shooting for a certain percentage in the row?

    I am notoriously weak in the upper body...things like chins and pull ups are me at my weakest.

    It'd probably be impossible to get 1:1 if you're a bigger bencher like I apparently am (only compared to my other lifts, not like I'm putting up 400-500lbs!), but I have seen many over the years aim for that or keep it as a goal.

    I don't bend over 90 degrees, but I do get as as angled as I can. It's kind of a hybrid bent/Pendlay row that I stumbled into over time for the sake of my elbow and comfort. All I know is since I got serious with these (working up to 4-6 sets of 4-6 as my main weekly back movement), I blew up with thickness and my strength went crazy. Saying this, I should probably see what I can do with a full 90 degree bend, though I may be too light for my strength and have trouble balancing!

    The sad thing about those pullups is I used to do 20 wide...as a warmup! Now w/my tendinitis and years away from doing them, I'm lucky to get 8 slow and sexy reps. They're tough, but I squeeze hard and high. Then I put everything I had into those rows and WOW I was blasted.

    Funny story about my pullup heyday...I was at an all-day music fest where they have the Marines on hand doing recruiting, etc. They'd have a pullup bar and challenge people to do X to win a prize. I got taunted of course because I was jacked and grabbed the bar wide and palms-forward ("the hard way!" as they said), but I knew what I was about to show them - lol. So I jumped up and did them all slow, they taunted me more and told me to hurry up, so I busted out however many and got over 20 which was their top prize limit. Back in those days my workout partner and I would do one-arm pullups and side to sides all the time. I don't think I could still do that these days!

    I have hockey on Sunday so that means no leg workout late this week. I'll have to push it to next Wednesday since I play that Tuesday. But I got in and did the bonus tri/delt day, plus calves. Calves didn't feel like I hit them well enough, maybe because I was rushing and didn't hit my groove. The rest was good though, and I got a new avatar out of it thanks to a killer pump.

    Thanks! Not like I'm about to boast about being a hot shot or anything (lol) but I do have lots of skill. Some of the guys I play with play in college, 8 years ago I was playing with kids coming out of high school and just entering college, some play internationally (roller), many played Junior A/USHL/NAHL, and a couple even play in the NHL right now! Obviously I'm not on THOSE guys' levels, but I hang and am definitely good enough to be a complementary player with them.

    In this league we're down 2 steps from the one I play in w/those guys. Some play(ed) college club level, but some are far better or at least faster than that. I'm too heavy to be a speed demon but I try my damndest. I'm one of the better overall players but not a crazy high scorer like some. In the higher divisions, my IQ and and shot help even me out, not to mention strength when we get close. I'll drag 3 people through the entire zone and score - LMAO. For speed, most the guys can fly by me. The overall game speed is much faster than if we're off, we're screwed!

    My hands come and go, sometimes I do things that amaze me and other times I'm just overthinking and can't get around anybody. Same w/my shot, I used to be deadly any time I had a shot and somewhere I got snake-bitten BAD. It's just starting to come back, I hope so! I just worked on my playmaking and puck control, which makes me happy enough as long as my guys can score.

    If I'm feeling it though, I'm scary in the shootout or a breakaway. I can deke, shoot, or my favorite: the Crosby style five-hole laser. It's in before the goalie ever realized I was shooting. That's what I did here, and it's so good for your confidence. I chose to go 3rd in our shooting lineup and called my exact shot. Total heroics LOL

    One of the guys on my team is like that, he is 6'6" 260lbs, a freaken Clydesdale. For his size he is quick as well.

    My biggest skill is to get in the way, rub out folks along the boards, or cause turn overs in our end. I also have a good "first" pass. meat and potatoes stay at home defenseman stuff, I am sure if I shot right hand I could get called up by the Leafs .

    This season, my lower division team has already but 1 guy who shoots right (not me). That's a first! I'm surprised the Leafs have fallen off lately. They seemed so promising but we know how hockey goes. Then again it's a good indicator for the next years coming, maybe similar to the Jets as of late.

    That guy sounds like a horse for sure, I'd be eyeballing him immediately 🤣 Don't ever underestimate your skillset now, having someone solid and reliable in those ways is very important. I try to be like that in my higher division teams when we play the best. I can't beat them with speed or energy, so I have to use my smarts and pick my spots. I prefer to simplify and shut em down, run interference, give them nothing, scare em if I have to, etc. Almost always need those types on a winning team!

    FINALLY got around to my leg workout. No extra muscles to work, no friends to help distract me, just a nice tough workout with metal blasting in my ears.


    Tomorrow will make day 4 in a row and 5th in total for the week, but oh well. For the first time in years I'm wanting more and more time in the gym (and able to get it done) so I'm taking advantage!




    RDL
    135x15, 165x8, 185x8, 185x8, 185x8
    Had plenty more in me but only wanted to pre-exhaust a bit so I had enough left for squats.


    Box Squats
    165x8, 185x6, 225x5, 225x5, 255x4, 255x3
    +2 on first 2, +1 on next 3, +1 final heavy set


    Seated Leg Curls SS w/Leg Extensions
    160x12 / 170x15
    160x12 / 180x15-20 lost count

    My volume loving, huge weight slinging friend and I were talking about lifting together this weekend, and he came in at this point. I skipped delts in order to do rack pulls with him. I haven't done them in about 10 years! I'm gonna feel these the next couple of days, but I sure put on a show. All reps were solid and controlled, even with a weak/fatigued leg drive.


    Rack pulls
    135x20, 225x10, 315x8, 405x8, 495x8, 585x1, 675x1, 765x1

    Ha .... your friend's arrival spurred you on to some massive pulls ... killer effort after 10 years and I haven't seen you going much in the way of deads either. Did you keep pace with your 'volume loving huge weight slinging friend'?

    I did! I think I kept up with him, and definitely went higher than I expected I would. He's got 50lbs. on me and was able to eke out 1 more rep on the last set which he called a half rep. I maybe could have gotten something similar but wasn't about to mess around and be stuck halfway w/that amount of weight. My rep was as perfectly clean and smooth as could be, and I was entirely happy with that!

    What he did have over me for sure was grip strength, he got his heavy sets done w/chalk and I needed hooks. My tendinitis has killed my grip strength over the years so anything above 400lbs. I can't hang onto. I didn't try the chalk, but I figured that if it did help, I'd still hurt. I just want to get away from that. So I use the hooks to take the brunt of the load, and grip over them as hard as I can.

    What was cool is my wife had just finished her workout and came over to us just in time to get to see me. I'd only ever had 700 on the bar once before (2005-06), but I broke my forearm & wrist shortly after (unrelated). This was a huge PR!

    edit: and WOW were my traps sore. I was expecting my spinal erectors to feel like an animation of throbbing red pain, but they were mildly sore (in a good way). Traps felt like I can't ever remember before! Saves me time this week on doing shrugs, hell yeah. Maybe I'll work this into my routine to help conserve time, though going that heavy/low volume won't be too frequent.

    Ha ... very cool to be able to show off in front of the wife ... I hope she was suitable impressed. Also cool that your wife actually works out as well
    Smart move to use the hooks and spare your tendons ... I've never even seen a bar IRL loaded with 765 so your friend must have a superhuman grip strength anyway
    I never work traps directly but it's only when I've done a load of deads that they scream at me

    I'm not sure if she was, but she did wish she had her phone to take a picture. We actually met because we both were into lifting

    My friend definitely has some beastly traits. Given those, I'm amazed I can hang or outdo him on other lifts. He's about my height, 255-260lbs., and just thick as can be. Most if not all of his workouts are 2+ hours, 30+ sets for the same muscles, all compound stuff, etc. 10 sets of Farmer's Walks at the end of his workouts, sled pulls, deads, rack pulls, etc. His grip is otherworldly but he annihilates it every day.


    I love Gironda chins/pull-ups ... have only ever seen maybe 3 people ever post about doing them. Pretty sick supersetting with 20 rep BB rows for an awesome lat pump
    The past couple weeks where I used my hooks and did 185x12-15 was far more agonizing. I went raw and lighter/higher rep this time just to see how it compared. I'll probably go back to 185 since I didn't feel like I was dying by the end of 135 LOL

    Cool that you met your wife lifting
    It'd be great to have the time to train for 2+ hours every day but for most of us that means either working in a gym or CF box/being semi-retired/having nothing going in in RL

    Those vacuums are tough! Got to get my breathing down for sure. From what I've read, Vince calls for 10 reps / sets.

    They were sore in a new way, but not overly so. I will push it harder next time, and add a set while removing another elsewhere. My elbows felt fine. My wrists were feeling like it was a bit tough to stabilize, but I do have a plate & 7 screws in one of them. That wasn't aggravated but maybe I'll keep my wraps handy for extra support just in case.

    Rack Shoulder Press (includes 30lb. bar)
    80x10, 120x5, 120x5, 120x8

    Upright Rows
    125x6, 125x6, 95x15, 95x15



    Rack pulls (peg 5, last week was peg 4)
    135x20, 225x10, 315x8, 405x6*, 495x6*, 585x1, 675x2
    Belted 765x1, 765x2, 675x3, 585x6, 495x10

    *2 fewer reps to offset larger ROM



    Skipped triceps in favor of all those pulls. I was in the zone today and pushed my friend to rack out the bar again. He again chalked up and pulled 765 w/o any grip equipment but tore a callous and didn't do a 2nd set with 765. He kinda did though because he missed his first attempt, then lost balance and the second attempt (extra pulling power threw him back on the way up), then he finally got it. All with his bare hands + chalk. Again I needed hooks at/after 495. Maybe next time I'll try chalk for 495.

    After all of that, he got out his hooks and we descended. My Inzer belt really made these seem so much easier. I planned to be done at that point but he kept inviting me to continue. Then I had to outdo him on the final set. Plus we had an audience since the 585 set so it was quite the entertaining day!

    Spent some time teaching a noob acquaintance about squatting as well.

    Since I did so much back work, I'll do chest/tris on Monday and lats/etc on Wed.

    Probably wise to use some wrist supports with the metalwork then
    So is that the Inzer belt going out a notch since you've put on size?
    I have an Inzer belt but never use it ... don't go anywhere near as heavy as you though, and noted that you only put the belt on for the pulls after the 675

    Yes I let it out a notch! Feels sad in a way but I'm about as lean as I was then so it's all good. Maybe those Gironda vacuums will thin me out over time.

    We're doing them just above the knee so I won't act like we're pulling this the entire range. I used to so them below the knee (max was 700) but with these, despite the shorter ROM, I feel they require more pure strength starting with the hamstrings rather than relying on a larger leg bend and momentum which I definitely relied on with below-the-knee. I lowered to pins a peg compared to where he set it up last week. I'll do that next time too to extend the ROM and see where the comfort level peaks. I don't want to o kill my lower back and to my surprise doing these higher still does wreck your upper back and traps in a good way. That's really the point for me anyway, and keeps me from getting too beat up from deads for my upcoming hockey games.

    Hey Stinner,

    Question regarding your french presses, do you advocate using a curl bar, or a straight bar. Do you do them seated?

    Anyway a lot of interesting work getting done here, I continue to learn.
    Please record my time/reps if I pass out

    I do them with a dumbbell, two hands on it. If I use a bar I'll refer to them as OH Extensions, I usually do them incline, and I opt for the Max Rack straight bar. It's like a Smith Machine but the bar moves forward and is free aside from each side being held in place so you don't rock. But you can move it forward/back as easily as up/down. It's really useful:





    My old gym had pre-loaded EZ bars which i usually used, but this gym is a pain to track down the free EZ bars so I never bother.

    If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask! I change things up a lot based on how I feel, concerning what I want out of my efforts. FWIW my pecs were completely sore today and in a unique way. Definitely keeping the Gironda Dips in as much as I can to see what I can get out of them. My right (repaired) wrist was a bit sore too but it may have been from the wraps being too tight. I'll test that out. Triceps got fried from the short/brutal work too, I will keep that in to save time & hopefully hammer them enough.
