Good workout.

i started ghetto t bar rows last week...i just stick one end of the barbell in the corner...load the other end with weight..and for now, until my handle gets here, i am using an empty dumbbell handle under the bar...and i pull on that...i really enjoy them....alot easier for me to keep the lower back where it needs to be..

whoa....wtf...i clicked on "last page" of your thread...and...it took me to like page 10....i didn't even realize it....and i replied...to a post on page ten...i am sorry :)

It's all good. I remember that you ordered the handle. I was curious how you had been liking the t-bar rows. I have never done them with the bar like that, personally. Let me know how it goes with the handle. I might have to try that out.

Good stuff Ross keep it up :weights:

You've got some strong legs there... good job on the squats/DLs. How long you been lifting?

I guess I've been lifting seriously since September. I just progressed pretty quickly with squats and deads over the past few months...I have no idea why. The last time I did either was 5 or 6 years ago in high school and I maxed at 285 on both. I am trying to move bench so it's the first lift on Mon & Fri. I have long arms and I suck at it. My torso has become a lot thicker over the past few months and my chest is FINALLY starting to develop. I'm on a fine line between over training and growing right now, but I've had the best growth by throwing in about 2-3 sets of incline or DB press at the end of my workouts.

Deadlifts - WU, 5X3 305, 315, ---
Standing shoulder press - 5X5 135
Lat pulls
curls

obliterated my lower back...don't know what the deal was. I was a little tight, but had a longgg warmup and stretched a little. I was halfway up on the last rep of the second set, could feel the strain in my hams, back wasn't rounded...then it felt like my spine just twisted/slipped right on the ruptured disc (L5,S1). I just can't really walk or stand or sit very much. Icing it now, so maybe I won't be out of the game for too long. Rest of the workout sucked...shoulder press was painful. I did light curls and lat pulls...just concentrated on form. Deep, slow reps with a hold/squeeze at the bottom. I don't think I'll be doing squats or deads for a while. Maybe leg press...we'll see Friday.

sucks dude....hope it gets worked out.
