So sorry, it's the palms down chin up...
:)Linkiroth gets strong, Blueprint Journey part I.
Thanks for the advice, Rob.
Did GLP #2 Bench workout #1 yesterday. Everything was as smooth as can be.
Bench
175 x 4 x 6
One arm row
80 x 4 x 6
Face pull
30 x 2 x 20
EDT block
Decline close-grip bench press 135 x 8,8,6,6
Standing alternating DB curl 30 x 8,6,6,6
I think that next time, I'll keep the weight the same on those EDT blocks and if I see improvement, move it up the next time. Feels good to be back in the gym. Today, I did 50 pullups, 10,10,5,5,5,10,5. Tomorrow, squats.

Crazy busy last few days. Slowing down tomorrow, thankfully.
GLP #2 Squat #1
Squat
340 x 4 x 6 - These were ROUGH. VERY hard to do and I had to do them with a new (crappy) belt because my belt (a nicely worn in 13mm belt) has somehow disappeared.
Dimel Deadlifts - Did not feel good and couldn't find a nice working weight
225 x 6
135 x 10
185 x 6
205 x 8
Static ab crunch
97.5 x 3 x 20sec - Increasing time to 30 sec from here on out.

As you get into it, things will get better...
It was quite a bit worse since I forgot to double check the weight I wrote down. I did 80% 4x6 instead of 75% 4x6. That's a BIG difference with a max of 425.RobRegish wrote:First workout, is usually a grinder...Linkiroth wrote:Crazy busy last few days. Slowing down tomorrow, thankfully.

My brevity from my most recent posts aside, I'm going to lob this in here. Life is finally getting more predictable and personal problems are fading so I can now focus on getting my nutrition and training back on track.
GLP # 2 Bench workout # 3
Bench Press
190 x 4 x 5
Low cable row
135 x 3 x 8
Close Grip Bench Press
145 x 4 x 8
EZ Bar Curl
70 x 8,7,6,6
A solid session but I have a slight pain in my rotator cuff. I'll be replacing close grip bench with triceps pushdowns for the foreseeable future.
