Entry #587
Came across Stanford at the gym today. No sparring. To pour salt on that wound, he greeted me with, "Hey Lance! Peace and love!"
"War, not love. This is a place of war."
"No, you have to love! I mean, you love exercising, don't you?"
I felt myself getting sick, so I strided over to do Tate presses while reciting,
"1, 2, 3, 4
Every night I pray for war
5, 6, 7, 8
Burn, kill, mutilate"
Great start.
RE upper
Push-ups:
x 5
x 10
x 20
35 lbs. x 12
35 lbs. x 10
35 lbs. x 10
> First three sets were supposed to be warm-up, but they cut into my performance. Short rest times killed my arms. Huge pump in triceps.
Still, it cannot be denied: I can bench 315 with ease and rep out overhead presses with 90 lb. dumbbells for sets of 8, but I still suck at simple push-ups.
Tate presses:
4 x 8 50 lb. dumbbells
Cable pushdowns:
3 x 8
Weighted pull-ups:
1 x 8 45 lbs.
1 x 7 45 lbs.
1 x 6 45 lbs.
1 x 5 45 lbs.
Dumbbell preacher curls:
1 x 7 40 lb. dumbbell
1 x 6 40 lb. dumbbell
1 x 5 40 lb. dumbbell
The RE upper might be what it takes to make the program interesting again. You could also try out 20 rep squats in place of DE work.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was definitely looking forward to this session more when I remembered I wasn't doing more boring speed bench.
ReplyDeleteI get the idea that you would enjoy listening to Carnivore.
