Hey Rob, for my feast I was looking at my custom workout again, and I was wondering if after my chest,back EDT I could perform 1 set of chin ups to focus on the upper back?!?

Thanks

A. Yes, always a good idea to include a vertical pull in addition to your horizontal/mixed pulls (i.e. T-bar rows), when constructing your workouts....IF you can recover from it.

I'm betting you can... :)

That would be a resounding "no". I/we're concerned that ab recovery may lag and thus, impair your next squat/DL etc. workout..

Health first... :)

FEAST WORKOUT 1
Decline Bench Static Hold: 425 x 14 seconds This kills the wrists ( any tips??)

EDT Block 1

BB Bench: 205 : x 5, 5, 6, 5 , 5 , 5 TOTAL: 31 reps
Barbel Row: 225: 5, 5, 5, 5, 4 , 4 TOTAL: 28 reps

Wide grip chin ups x 5

Static Hold : Military BB: 275 x 20 seconds ( was lighter then expected)

DB press: 60: 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 TOTAL: 31 reps
Overall was an awesome workout, very tough I was sweating more then I expected. and the weights seemed to have dropped a little over my week off ( BB bench) but I'm sure it will come right back up!

Hey rob during my decline hold I noticed that my wrists were giving out way before my chest/arms.. it was more of a painful thing then a muscle sore while when I did my shoulder and dropped weight and tried held for 20 seconds I got a great feeling in my shoulders?? Is there any tips or should I try maybey doing my holds a little but lighter on decline bench so my wrists get used to the heavy weights and my muscle will feel it more??

because right now I'm scared of injuring myself!

Haven't updated in a while but I just entered the cruise phase and Im performing GVT for it as I want to increase my endurance and strength if possible!! As far as diet comes Im cutting calories on off days and keeping them on maintenance on workout days because I'm still trying to cut quite a few percentages!!

What do you think Rob?
