Well...I decided to skip gym today. I will hit the gym Wednesday Thursday and Friday instead. I have 5 exams this week. I hate this.

Everything is good. I'm doing a top secret workout so I can't discuss details :biglaugh:. I'm doing very well with it so far. Plus I've been keeping a close eye on your starting strength progress, seems like a very solid routine.

Wolf, it is very good to be back and I can't believe people would overlook that comment :) Good luck on the exams.

I must admit I did overlook it, haha.

MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 4: Peak
Week 15 - Very High Volume
Upper Body One

Beginning Thoughts:

Exams are kicking my ass.

Workout:

I was supposed to do 9 singles of 2 Board Presses with more than 90% of my max.

Now, I have no idea what my 1RM for my bench is - because I don't bench press.

So, I used a phone book as 2 board and I did 6 singles with 225 lbs. This killed me and on the 6th single I got stuck right at lockout for the longest time ever. I held it there and by sheer will power locked it out. I then reduced the weight to 205 lbs and did the remaining 3 singles. I have 2 videos of me doing 225 lbs press.

On the 6th set (the one where I almost got stuck at just before lockout with 225 lbs) I strained my left middle back muscle. So, after my workout I did a few good mornings. I have videos of all this.

After the board presses I did some Close Grip Bench Presses and Hammer Strength Rows followed by Hammer Curls.

Videos:

2 Board Bench Press:

Overall Impression:

Tomorrow is Lower 2...

Why would you do gm's because you strained your mid back?

I was concerned that my ROM for squats and deads would be compromised just like how I got injured last time.

And I was too lazy to actually do a squat or a deadlift so I just took a bar and did a few reps for Good Mornings.

I was just concerned about it being a bad injury. But I think it's fine. I am up now after 4 hours of sleep and my back's not hurting. So atleast thats good...

You mean you wanted to see if it hurt?
