Feast Workout #7
Good workout today again. Felt strong until I got to military press when I literally couldnt hold the weight up at all.
Decline Bench- 95x5, 135x5, 155x2, 175x1, 200x1, 255x10s, 290x4s, 290x4s
did a 3rd set of the hold because my friend grabbed the weight before i was dont thinking i said "get it" when i was telling him "i got it"
weighted dips- +25x4, +25x4, +25x5, +25x3, +25x3
superset with 1 arm db rows- 75x4, 75x6, 75x6, 75x6, 75x5
the last 2 sets of dips i got like 70% up but couldnt lock out the 4th rep. should have had it on both though. might have burned myself out going for 5 on my 3rd set.
military press- 155x attempted to lift twice and couldnt hold it at all once i bent my arms the slightest amount
incline db curls- 40x4, 40x4, 40x4, 35x6
superset with overhead tricep extensions- 60x6, 60x6, 65x3, 60x4
so again, great workout aside from the military press.

hmm...ever had your blood sugar checked? Could be a warning sign of diabetes...not trying to scare you, just thought I would bring it up, as that is one of the more common things...RobRegish wrote:"I've been going through 2 gallons of water a day and yet i always feel thirsty..."
2 gallons of water/day = bathroom...
GREAT work, Matt!!!
Unlikely the blood sugar issue, although that's a solid recommendation Matter203, it did come to my/our minds... 
:):)
Now, more likely Matt your rest intervals between sets. What I/we're noticing is that just prior to your heaviest sets, a DOUBLING of your rest intervals is necessary, to accomplish your target weight/rep goal.
Meaning if you've been taking 5 min. rest between sets, take 10 minutes (or more!).
Try that on, for SIZE!!!

its happened on previous runs as well, just never like this before. i would hope if it were diabetes i would have caught it by now, cant really imagine doing what ive done and not knowing. not impossible though as i used to weigh a ton.matter2003 wrote:hmm...ever had your blood sugar checked?

well so far ive just been sticking the 3.0 format as best i can and doing the 3-2-1 and yesterday 3 minutes between sets. only thing i changed so far was dropping static rack pulls for the t-bar row holds and alternating between deadlift/leg extensions and squats/hamstring curls.RobRegish wrote:Unlikely the blood sugar issue, although that's a solid recommendation Matter203, it did come to my/our minds...
