Entry #576

Weighed 215. Have been off of creatine for several weeks, and haven't been ingesting weightgainer regularly.

DE upper

Speed bench:
10 x 3     185 lbs.
> Incredibly fast today. Best performance on this yet. Paused at the bottom on each rep to train drive coming out of the hole. For longer durations (5+ seconds pause), speed coming back up was much slower, so I think I should make this practice a habit more.

Tate press:
4 x 8     45 lb. dumbbells

Cable pressdowns:
4 x 8     150 lbs.

Weighted pull-ups:
2 x 8     40 lbs.
1 x 7     40 lbs.
1 x 6     40 lbs.
> I'm 10 lbs. heavier and I've increased the weight from 35 to 40, and I still made gains on the objective rep scheme. Soar on wings of fury, lats.

Bilateral dumbbell curls:
1 x 8     40 lb. dumbbells
1 x 5     40 lb. dumbbells
1 x 4     40 lb. dumbbells
> Drastic fatigue. Much harder than unilaterals, since each arm doesn't get a moment of rest while the other reps. Might lower the weight on the ensuing sets next time.

30 minutes of stretching later at night while watching Mystery Science Theater 3,000. "The woman is a cold-blooded creature and must bask on sun-prone rocks to warm itself."
