Lower A

Front squats - 75*12, 77.5*8, 77.5*7
Deadlifts - 140*7, 140*6, 140*4
Hammie curls - 60*10, 60*7, 60*7
Standing calf raises - stack+40*14, stack+40*12, stack+40*10

Awesome session today. Fronts were a big improvement on last week and my form on deadlifts felt amazing. Deads must hammer my hamstrings cos I could do loads more reps on my other lower workout when I had done no deadlifts.

Awesome improvement on the deads! Your last sesh deads were 135 or so for sets. Yeah your hamstrings get knackered after a heavy sesh of deads. Did you just stick 140 on and think lets rock?

cheers mate. Yeah well last week I managed 135 for 10 so thought I would go for 140 this week. I thought my form was good last week but today was even better so I'm pleased about that. I think me having a wide waist and shoulders allows me to progress quite well on them

135 for 10 is real stong so yeah 140 was a good shout! I am going to try 140 today but they have tiny 20 plates at my gym so I might struggle. Anyways keep it up mate!

Whaddup, been on holiday for the last week if anyone was wondering about my absence (which of course you all were). Straight back to it anyway

Upper B
ATG squats - 90*11, 95*8, 95*6
Leg press - 4.5 plates*10, 4.5 plates*8

Took it fairly easy today as was very tired since my flight got in late last night. Calves and hammies were rushed as gym was closing lol.

**musefan** · 15-08-2009 11:33 PM

I felt weak without you lol I did wonder where you were!! Did you go anywhere sunny so you could get your beach body out? lol

Still a decent sesh mate!! I thought your hammie curls were hammer curls and I thought wtf this guy is nuts lol Just figured out they were hamstring curls

Decent sesh mate!
Don't worry your wide grip will catch up with your close grip! I still find my WG a bit weaker than my close grip (infact I think thats common with most people I train with).

Dips look too easy for you, time for some weight

I like finishing off tri's with the rope too!
