Shoulder/arms day was uneventful (and not a real training session). Back combo day today was pretty fun:
Deadlift:
1x6 @ 135
1x6 @ 185
1x6 @ 225
1x6 @ 275
1x5 @ 315
1x4 @ 365
3x3 @ 405
1x1 @ 455
Notes: all with no belt. 2nd and 3rd set at 405 were killer. My explosion off the ground on all my first reps was fantastic. But by 365 my last two weren't as hot. Haha. I'm pretty happy.
Barbell rows, Yates Style:
3x6 @ 135
3x4 @ 185
1x3 @ 225
Notes: Wasn't hard at all. But my biceps hand't yet recovered and I wasn't trying to kill myself.
Breathing good mornings:
1x6 @ 135
1x6 @ 185
1x6 @ 225
1x6 @ 275
1x4 @ 315
Notes: started getting tired on my last set, so I was pretty content to keep it there for now. Shoulder maybe had a smidge of pain, but I'm dealing with it very well. If it was this bad the rest of my life I'd really have no complaints. Took two huge breaths at the top, held the second, did a rep let out the breath at the top, repeat.
Pull downs:
1x6 @ 180
3x6 @ 225
1x4 @ 275
Notes: I get a really great stretch on the lighter sets, but not the heavy sets. Not sure why, since I slowed down all my reps to really reach for it. Oh well.
Hyper extensions:
Notes: I did a set with a 25 lb plate till failure and then rested a minute and a half and no weight till failure. I did more than 40 on each, but I stopped counting to try and keep going. They were a lot easier than I remember. Even at home now, my lower back really isnt even tired. I could feel a good easy pull on it and my ham strings when I focused on it, so, again, I'm pretty happy.
