supine glute ham raises are supposed to hit the glutes/hams. they are not calve/quad raises

^^^wooohooo....1000th reply!!!!!!

As my life is right now I'm home 5 days a week and gone friday after work until sunday evening.

I also find that I *can't* workout 2 heavy days in a row anymore, it just doesn't work for me. I'm convinced my recovery is not average.

I also find that I need to do my upper workout first because any heavy lower pulling affects my upper pushing for at least 2-3 days. This is due to upper back muscles (stabilizers) being weak.

So I could workout monday but its not optimal cause I'm tired from travelling and trying to get back to my mon-fri schedule. Then I could workout wed + thursday perhaps.

It would have to be
Mon: Upper
Wed: Lower
Thurs: Core/accessories/GPP

This is still not optimal but its the closest I can get right now I think. Also with travelling every weekend my diet is hardly ever constant. Bah! I had it way better when I was living in one place on my own. I could prepare my meals for the week bring them to work or w/e. But things change.

Any other suggestions/ideas?

Oh ya, I wasn't saying that the supine GHRs were supposed to be quad/calves. I was saying that they seemed heavily biased to the hams over glutes. Maybe this is just because my hams are weak so I feel it more there.

i thought you meant they were hitting both really hard.....and i was just saying......they should be i sped read over the "vs" and made it "and"

Ever think about doing a 3 day a week Westside program ? That gives a guy lots of time to recover.

I was doing a modified WS program a while back but its definately something to look into.

Long workout. Tris were totally thrashed by the end. I was happy with my pressing as well.

Someone asked me if I was into PL'ing because I was lifting some "pretty huge weights." So that made me feel pretty good.

Really frustrating to have this happen. I was super motivated this week and this makes me want to scream. Ugh.
