I’ve been doing more trap bar DL because it’s just way easier on my upper back for some reason.



Oh heck yeah!!! I am not competing, so this keeps my back so much more fresh.

Do you do rows at all? Heavy barbell rows, kroc rows, single arm barbell rows, etc. all help develop strong upper back. I find they carry over bigly to deadlifts.

Finishing up the 1s week of cycle 2. Had to do the last 2 workouts on one day, killed my OHP effort after heavy squats :(.

1s Squats
10 @ 45
5 @ 135
5 @ 165
3 @ 195
5 @ 250
3 @ 280
1s AMRAP 8 @ 315
6 @ 245

DL BBB 3x10 @ 150

---------------
1s OHP
5 @ 65
5 @ 80
3 @ 95
5 @ 125
3 @ 135
1s AMRAP 4 @ 155

------------------------
1RMs based off AMRAP for this cycle

Probably run 2 more cycles before officially trying to re-join the 1000lbs club.

Got a little froggy on my short bench day Thursday and decided to go heavy.

225 x 1
275 x 1
295 x 1
245 x 2

Really wanted to go for 305 but 295 wasn't super smooth and I actually kinda tweaked my back on the 275 rep so I decided to wait. Maybe in a couple weeks.

Leg day yesterday sucked. My knee was killing me and I only managed a couple sets of 185 x 6 squatting.

Strength chest day today went well on the bench:

245 x 7
255 x 5
255 x 6

Brave man

I’ll roll with what DeafJam did. I’m 5’10” and weighed 166.7 this morning. Probably around 12% BF. I don’t have chicken legs or anything, but I definitely carry more weight in my upper body.

ETA: Workout this morning:

Back/bicep hypertrophy, with strength DLs to start out. Got 325x7.

Really doing well in the strength department right now. Monday I got 2x5, 1x7 @ 205 on Incline bench and Tuesday I did 3x5 @ 305 for squats.

Fair enough.

Unrelated: I took my pre-workout about 10 minutes ago. Got to the gym, realized I forgot my shorts AND one of my shoes. No workout today.

I've never taken the pre-workout and not gone straight to exercise. Do I need to start doing pushups at my desk? I'm feeling weeeeeird.
