Sam - week of 1/14

Sunday
Legs I guess?
Squat                    3x10@225

Tuesday
Chest and tris
Bench                      3x10@185 (10,8,7!)
Incline DB               2x12@50
Rolling tris              2x12@35
Tri pushdown          2x10@70
Pulldown crunches  2x15@160

I've certainly sound my problem rep range: 8-12. Ironically, this is probably the range most of the country uses - yet I'm really terrible at it.

Wednesday
Shoulders, back, and bis
Pulldowns               3x12@140
DB OHP                 3x12@50
Machine row          2x10@130
DB curl                   2x8 40, 35
1-arm Lateral raise 2x10@25
Hammer curl          2x10@45 or 40

Saturday
Legs
Steelbell squat        5x10@100
Rack pull                5@315, 5@385, 5@435

Steelbell squat was pickup to a bearhug and then 10 squats, not the pick up each time. With or without the pick up, these are one of my favorite exercises. Strangely enough, I think I started figuring out where my groove went wrong on regular squat. These may be a daily ecercise for a while

Rack pulls were just below the knee. I forgot how much I like these. Straps on the last two sets. I didn't think I went that heavy but I am pleasantly sore today (Sunday). I may keep these for a few weeks. Maybe end on a higher-rep set without straps for grip.

Are you planning on working up to specific numbers this spring or just get feeling better?

Oh, I’ll figure out some goals - I’ll work the bro-split for a few more weeks and then do something like Starting Strength again and go from there.
