ME Lower/ME Upper

Friday
Squat morning w/cambered bar (hung the bar to approximate where my back is when I pull about 45*) worked up to 405x1, 425x1, 445x1 all without a belt (!) felt pretty good
Played around with some hang cleans, decided I suck at them and moved on...
Belt squats 3x10/90, 140, 160
Reverse hyper w/long strap and close/wide feet 4x12/150, 240, 330, 380
Knee raises w/ankle weights 3x15

Saturday
Ampd upper warm-up w/ trap 3 raises x12/side x1 set
1-board press w/doubled mini bands and one choked mini band-wide grip: triples then singles when I hit 185 up to 270x1, 290x1 (pr) and 300x1 yea!
JM band press w/monster mini bands doubled work up to 3x3/180, 200, 210
Pull downs to chin 3x8/ couple warm-up sets then 190, 205, 210
Hammer curls 3x9/45 and Band pushdowns w/ monster mini band 3x40

Friday I felt like crap. I have not got any sleep since returning from our trip and with some long days at the gym it caught up with me. The squat morning felt fine. Actually surprisingly easy and after I got the PR I didn't push too much more for fear of tricking myself into something stupid (and getting hurt).

Saturday went much better. Real happy with the 1-board PR. I switched from using doubled minis and a choked micro mini to monster minis on the JM presses because I am lazy and its less to set-up. I guesstimated that the tension is approximately the same.

Joe Metric complained about my lack of musical diversity during Saturday morning's activity while we listened to Judas Priest, Iron Madien and the new VH (which btw is freakin' awesome). So next time we'll go ghetto and see how that goes over....

Stay frosty,
Ed T.
