Atypical1's Training Log

[Mouse]

5 reps at 415 - great lifting - I bet you'd not be too far off 500 for a single now.

[atypical1]

Good suggestion H. I actually do each rep as it's own lift so I can change my grip then.

8/13

OHP: Did these first tonight. 5*185 PR. It wasn't pretty but they went up. I'll test my 1RM in the next couple of weeks.

Dips: 74 total. I got 24 the first set. After that I don't know as I simply counted up from the last set and did as many as I could. I literally failed on a couple of sets on the "up" portion. Tough. I have to get 26 more which I'm not looking forward to at all.

Calves: Did the routine I posted earlier. 10 reps in the smith machine then 30 jumps with a BB on my back. I put 25 lb plates on there this time. Next time I'll use 35's. This is a tough workout and my calves feel worked. It's also not a terrible cardio session.

I skipped tabata as I had to pick up Holden from the baby sitter. I did some stretching though.

Good workout even though it was really short.

Wow James, 74 dips is amazing! And the 185lb OHP is very impressive! Good stuff!

[pagangoddess]

Nice job James. That's quite a workout for being short on time. 74 dips. Sweet.

[zizzy80]

Great stuff. Amazing to read 74 dips.

[atypical1]

That's not 74 in a row so don't be that impressed...lol. This took me a few sets to get through.

But still you're a masochist

[Kathy]

74 dips in sets is ... well, masochistic. Ugh! Congrats on the OHP PR.

How are the calves feeling?

[atypical1]

You know what? The calves are fine. I need to up the weight a bit. I've been working them all along so they're actually pretty strong. Just small.

8/14 Friday

Squats: Worked to 3*325 then a set of 8@235. These were good.

Bench: Worked to 3*265 then 8*185. I used the flat bench and I hated it. I'm used to the power rack now where I can adjust everything for me. I'm not going to use the flat bench any more.

Row: Worked to 3*235 then 8*165. Decent set.

GHR. I did these with some counter weight to assist me. I was in the lat pull down and I used the tricep ropes to hold on with. I put on 70lbs and it was still hard to come up with. The trouble with that much weight is that it's also hard to let yourself down with. I need to figure this one out.

Chin up. 30. I did chin ups and my shoulder felt fine. I did one set of pull ups and my shoulder hurt. Go figure.

Leg curls. I'm still doing these until I can crack the code on GHR's completely.

nice workout -- I'm super jealous of the rows...I just might have to start doing those so I can stop feeling sorry for myself when I read your log!

[sgi4950]

Congrats on the OHP PR.
Wow 30 chin ups. That's a lot of chins. What's your max on chin ups/pull ups?

[lifthard]

nice workout -- I'm super jealous of the rows...I just might have to start doing those so I can stop feeling sorry for myself when I read your log!

I'm jealous too.. the rows are really strong!

30 chins is excellent dude!

[holvoetn]

Somehow I believe there is a direct correlation between the amount of chins and the weight used on the rows.
Not ?




Awesome weight, James. Will be some time before I ever get there...
