- Tough day, finally heavy enough to where I was able to hit my RP range where it needs to be. Incline curls were very difficult with the second and third rp sets. I barely made the last rep of both. I may hold this weight over to next time since IMO my biceps respond to high reps. Calves are getting easier to fight through. Very good strength gains with calves. I did an extra one this time. Usually, DC calves receive a 12 second stretch..But I like a longer 15 second one. I'm going to try and build up to 20 seconds. Lying leg curls were very intense. Starting to really get heavy. A2G squats were good to go. It took me 30 minutes to run through every other exercise, allowing me a half hour for squats before I needed to head home to get ready for work. 15 minutes went to warming up, pyramiding to the 315 with acclimation sets. I didn't have a spotter so I stopped at 5 deep ones. The last rep was slow so I left a rep in the tank. I'd like to hit 325 before my cruise, but I'm thinking about a cruise after next week to get my sanity back and recover. I'll get a better feel towards the end of next week. That'll mark a 6 week blast. More than likely I'll do 8 weeks.
The widowmaker was rediculous, again. The reps were slow from the start since I was going rock bottom. I made it to 15 reps before they really started becoming a struggle. I rested the bar at 16 for about 8 breaths, then finished them out.
