training 11.22.2013

Rainy day, with thunder even.  That's rare around here, and I miss it.

Tried MusclePharm Assault today instead of Ndure, added Athletic Greens, and went.

Meadows rows, worked up to a good weight for 10 and did 12/10/8/6 with it, concentrated on engaging the whole lat.

Partial pulldown, to top of the forehead, very wide grip, 4x8.  Well, as documented last time, there isn't enough weight in this gym to do these right, so I did them with a full stack and a 3s pause at the bottom, which was more like my nose.  I did 4 sets of 30 like that and thought I might not be able to get up.

Deadlift, conventional stance, work up to a triple.  Did really well with these for some reason.  Had no support on except a Spud DL belt.  Felt really good about it and pulled about 500#.  Garnered a few looks from the old farts and wannabes.

Deficit DL, 3x3, 2" deficit.  Just got them done.  Much less spectacular.

DB pullovers, 3x12 lying on a bench, lifted only so that the bottom of the DB was about forehead height.  Took the weight up again this week, which is good -- getting stronger.

Hypers with a band, 45 degree, 1xfailure with an elitefts Average band: got 21 and sucked wind.

Did some low cable rows, wide to narrow, in high rep sets until I couldn't do any more.

Did some Gironda swings with low weight until my delts were screaming, just because.

Left.

Very hungry in the gym today, and the place was packed with old farts and younger old farts.  Lots of camping today -- there were at least three farts taking up 3 machines to do circuits of ugliness.  Thankfully, they didn't want anything I needed, which was no surprise.

Bodyweight is still creeping up and body fat is slowly creeping downward.

Have a safe Friday.
