Two In One

3 September 2015


I won't be able to train tomorrow, so today I decided to combine two workouts into one. I figured I could get away with it as it's a 5-rep week.

Squat 225x5, 275x3, 315x5, 345x5, 375 (5+) x 10 reps

Bench press 135x5, 225x5, 255x5, SlingShot 285x5, 315 (5+) x 10 reps

Felt okay, but my elbows started hurting a bit. Not sure why.

Mid-shin block pulls 405 lbs. x 6 singles - middle back was fried at this point and the muscles were cramping up. I've never felt this part of the back work so hard.

Neutral-grip pullups 30 total reps - should have skipped these, as they didn't do my elbows any favors

Pushdowns 3s x 15

Seated Smith machine press - 4 random sets of 5. My back didn't feel up to standing presses and this was the only available seated station. I had to twist the bar at a weird angle to get the hooks off the catches, and elbows did not like this at all.

Machine preacher curl 3s x 10 per arm
