22/3/7

201 lbs.

ME High Rows:

5 x 130
3 x 150 or so
3 x 170
1 x 180
1 x 190 (very hard)
1 x 200 (didn't get this all the way down)
1 x 190
1 x 180

Did these on the "lat pull-down" cable machine. i like the feel of these, but at ME it's hard to maintain body position-- hard to get enough leverage. And i don't think the weights are on. i weighed in at 201 today and i could swing from the bar and do pullups on "180 lbs." without pulling it down. Oh well.

DB Rows:

10 x 80
8 x 90
8 x 90
6 x 100
6 x 100

These got really hard toward the end, and i noticed i started twisting into the weight, but i was pleased that i could pull 100's clean for a li'l while at all.

DB Shrugs:

12 x 80
10 x 110
10 x 110

Hands were opening up. Had to use those gay li'l hook thingies on the last set. i felt defeated.

TM/SS Scissors:

10 x 50
8 x 60
8 x 50

i like these things. i felt weaker on 'em this time, but then we took the week off last week from back, and i think i deteriorated in the meantime.

Comments:

For deeply desiring to fall over unconscious in a puddle of drool, i felt like this went over pretty well. Got off schedule last week (for a good cause i guess) and now i don't know where to stick leg work. Might go back in later today for some abs if i can talk the woman into it. Switched the ME work to High Rows from Pullups this time, and i'm twitching now cuz i feel like i missed out on pullups. i wanna do some RE work on 'em in a few days and see how that works out.
