Friday July 10th

184lbs

Pullups (heavy clusters)
+65x1+1+1, +45x1+1+1, +45x1+1+1, +45x1+1+1

+65 was too heavy, I wasn't getting the last couple inches of the pullup (the most important part of the movement IMO). I slept like crap last night, absolute crap. And when that happens I can't really eat anything in the morning, my stomach can't handle it. So I did this on an almost empty stomach and very tired.

I'm not trying to make excuses, I'm happy with the session nonetheless, but it wasn't an ideal training day today.

Arnold Press
40x8, 40x6, 40x7

Inverted Row
+35x8, +35x6, +35x8

Last time I did these I was holding a dumbbell between legs but now I switched to using a plate on my chest. I'm torn between the two methods. The dumbbell promotes hip extension because the weight is just about on the hip joint. The plate puts more load into the back but it reduces the ROM by the thickness of the plate. I tried putting the plate behind my back with a weight belt but it didn't work out very well. I think I'll go with the plate for this mesocycle and then make the decision from there.

Facepulls
135x10, 135x10
