Back and Bis from yesterday...

Yeah...yesterday's workout. Forgot all about logging it here.

Back/Bis:

Deads:
wu
225 x 2
285 x 1 x 6
285 x 0.975 x 1
*Grip let me down on the last set. Almost locked it out but had to set it down. Hands were sweating, which leads me to believe chalk might have been a good assistant. I have pulled in the 400's before, but my back isn't up to that right at the moment. I try to not use straps for these kinds of weights so that my forearm/grip strength isn't compromised.

I will use straps for the remaining lifts though, because I want the target muscles to wear out before my grip does.

BB Rows:
195 x 8 x 4

Lat Pulls:
150 x 8 x 3

Seated Wide Grip Row, chest high:
*A guy I chat with on another board does these and I thought I'd give it a go as a variation. I found weaknesses, as I was really squeezing to get reps even with low weight. I'll be using these a bit more frequently to help correct those weaknesses.
70 x 10 x 3

"Navy Seal Special" Curl pyramid:
*Check out Kevin Levrone's blog - some dude Roger, who's a retired Navy Seal in his 60's, does these with an empty bar. Talk about burn. Goes 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, etc...up to 1-10.
1 set of 1 up to 1-10, empty bar.

That was it. Warm as hell in the gym tonight...phew. Early warm spell here combined with people who aren't sure how to use the heating system properly...lol.
