Upper Body Focus
Condition:
I’ve finally been able to get some sleep recently. I’m still way in debt, but I’m working on it.
Warm Up:
Some push ups and chin ups
Some ab coordination work
Workout:
Chin Up Dropset
(6 @ 90 lbs) + (8 @ 45 lbs) + (6 @ BW), rested only long enough to strip plates
EZ Curls (pretty d**n strict)
2 x (6, 4 reps) @ 105 lbs, ? sec. rest
Handstand Push Ups on Cinder Blocks
A couple singles and a few negatives
Cool Down:
Some more ab coordination work
Shoulder prehab
Notes:
Today’s session went well. The chin up dropset was Hell, but I’m proud of how I did. I could have had 90 lbs x 7 reps, but I didn’t want to wreck the rest of the set. Immediately afterwards, the curls were surprising. If my arms weren’t completely dead, sets of 10-12 wouldn’t have been out of the question.
The handstand push ups were tough. I’d like to get better at these though.
