Overall Impression:-
wierd workout...
Bench Press: ok i got a vid of this. a new 3RM attempt. as per Eric's orders. why am i pissed? because the fucking trainer who i instructed over a fucking dozen times NOT to even touch the motherfucking bar unless i was failing kept making it is goddamn point to hold it. he did not help me to push it up and i didnt need his help but his hands kept shooting out when i was past midway and he would hold the bar. fucking asshole. my damn training partner ditched me today so i had to rely on my gf holding the camera and this chut of an instructor spotting me  im gonna try this one more time next week and do it the right way. it is a PR for me but im not counting it legal unless i do it on my own.
Regular Rows: ive tweaked me lower back a bit and i might take the remaining of this week off. tomorrow is in any case an off day so if by thursday im feeling fine ill go to the gym otherwise ill skip this week.
Low Incline Dumbbell Bench Press: im happy
Chin-ups: felt great!
Diet: tons of good food. im very happy.
Overall: in a way i am happy with this workout. i cant belive i knocked out 205 lbs for 3 reps. that is a major achievement for me considering less than 8 months ago i wasnt even gonna be lifting again. however, i am upset because if that damn trainer had kept control over his instincts and NOT put his hand on the bar i could've showed off that my nre 3RM is 205 lol....plus, my lower back is a bit tweaked and im gonna take the remaining of this week provided it doesnt clear up by thursday. for information, the left part of my lower back went through supercompression (unequal on the left side) when i did good mornings last week. deep down inside though, i am very happy that i got 3 reps with 205. i know next week i will be able to pull it off once again.
have a good week y'all!
