Beginning Thoughts:

I did not feel like working out today. My mood was bad and I had a very late night last night. Also, I had a slight fever and a bad stomach upset. I was in no mood to workout...

Workout:

Front Squats:
Cluster Sets
(225 lbs x 1 rep x 5 mini-sets) x 5 sets

Good Mornings:
105 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
135 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets

Unilateral RDLs:
45 lbs x 7 reps x 2 sets

Dragon Fly Crunches:
12 reps x 3 sets

Pull Throughs:
70 lbs x 10 reps x 2 sets

Barbell Curls:
70 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets

Videos:

Nothing for today.

Overall Impression:

I hate front squat cluster sets. Fuck this....miserable workout. Most of it was done half-assed. I hope tomorrow's extra workout goes smoothly.

Eric, I tried the Bosu ball thingy but I didn't record the vid. I will do the same thing for tomorrow' extra workout and I'll record the video. It is damn frustrating to do it with the ball. I hate this drill.

Sounds like somebody needs his beauty rest. lol Just messin with ya.

On a more serious note: Don't worry so much about one workout that may have felt lousy. Everyone feels shitty every once in a while. The next one will be better.

Beginning Thoughts:

Since this "week" is actually 10 days because of my over-anxiety to begin working out ahead of time (remember I took a 5 day study break for mid-terms?) I managed to fit in another Extra Workout. Focus was the same but I did a few more exercises and quite a few supersets. Broke into a nice sweat too :D

Workout:

Overhead Squats:
70 lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets
90 lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
I won't be increasing the weight next time around. Infact, I'm gonna be reducing it a bit to work on technique more. Vids to come..

Pull-ups:
BW x 2 reps x 5 sets
BW x 3 reps x 3 sets
Supersetted with OH Squats

Unilateral RDLs:
45 lbs x 15 reps x 1 set

Dumbbell Swings:
20 lbs x 20 reps x 1 set

Push-ups:
BW x 15 reps x 2 sets
Supersetted with both Unilateral RDLs and Dumbbell Swings.

Dumbbell Figure 8:
5 lbs x 20 reps x 3 sets

Dumbbell Iron Wall with Twist
25 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets

Overhead Squats:

Overall Impression:

I think I've improved my overhead squats a bit. I hope that by reducing the weight next week and just focusing on technique a bit more it will help in honing in the "groove" for me.

I hope everyone's having a good week....The weekend is still (very unfortunately) quite a few days away.

Cheers :)

those did look better.....i think focusing on form and not going for alllllll out depth is a good idea :)

Is this a back-handed compliment?

"Your form was better but too bad you didn't go deep enough."

:greenchainsaw:

:D

:p

hehe

haha...

just in the last two videos you went so deep your back rounded and you were looking at the floor a couple times :)

this time you went deep enough...kept your back position, and kept your head level.

it was a pat on the butt compliment :)

Oh I see.....I figured that if I keep my head up and look straight I wound't lean too far forward. So I paid attention to that. However, last set I was too worried about the weight shifting like it did in Set 7.

Much appreciated, sir.
:wagmoon: :fart: :beerchug:

that's a nice hairless butt you have there :)

Thank you. Its a lot of hard work. I am glad somebody appreciates my efforts.
