me likey Pearls Before Swine. It'd be a fine present if someone were to get me a book of PBS for some holiday or another. Gives me a tickle in my ribs.
worked out proper this evening. Pretty much the same workout i've been doing on sundays, but i moved upward on a few lifts.
P'lups:
20xbw (i could tell the structural integrity of m' wee biceps was not at 100% on these)
6x+45 (this bade ill)
4x+70 (couldn't get 5)
3x+80
2x+90
2x+100 (stopped after this. i didn't lock out the second rep, and i decided not to do negatives.)
This was a li'l unexpected, 'cuz for the first time in several of these workouts i didn't climb the day before. In fact, i hadn't climbed since thurs., so i was banking on feeling better. Ah well.
Straight Leg Deads:
14x145
8x195
8x215
6x235
6x255
4x275
4x305 (Here's where not climbing the day before paid off: i could hold onto the bar.)
4x315 :-)
That last set i admit i didn't do on the box. They were still straight legged, and i still had 25lb plates as the biggest plates so the bar started maybe an inch or so off my feet, but it wasn't below my feet. The liftoff from on that box is the hardest bit of the workout. At any rate, i still loosed some yells to crank out 4. i'm calling it a pr no matter what you say.
Leg Raises:
30xshoes
3x12xankle weights
The sets of 12 instead of 10 was an improvement.
One Arm Cable Rows:
8x90
8x105
6x120
6x135
4x150
Felt pretty good about these. No cheating; no rocking. i wanna try these with DBs to see how it compares.
Bent O'er BB Rows:
10x135 (These felt airy)
2x6x185
This was a 10 lb. step upward.
WG Pulldowns:
10xsome weight
2x5xmore weight
This was a good workout, in my opinion. And as light as that chest workout was a few days ago, i'm still sore from it. i have caved in, withered boobs, and a tolerable back. At least i'm half a man.

I really need to start adding in some stiff leg deads and deficit deadlifts to my program. should be benificial. do you use those sling thingys to do your leg lifts or do you just hold on to the bar?
What's a deficit deadlift? Intriguing.
No, i don't use those sling things, thankyouverymuch. i try to keep 'er as hetero as possible. Actually, i figure if i can't hold onto the bar, there's not much crossover value in my being able to pull the weight. i did use chalk though.
