INCREDIBLE!! back day, probably the best I've ever had.
I think I've been taking a bit to much rest in the past, so I really focused on only taking 45 seconds of rest between sets, really pushed myself and worked hard on solid form. pulldowns felt great, they always do, it's very easy to flex contract that muscle at the peak moment. I'm really starting to get the mind-muscle connection with rows felt better this week then it did even last week, was awesome.
I did EXACTLY what we talked about for shrugs and Db side lats, holy fuck I wanted to throw up after, but it felt awesome, I also bent forward a bit on shrugs like you suggested and I could feel it more in my traps and upper back, I could also really feel the side laterals in my "BACK??"" more then my shoulders.. that was kind of wierd to me.. but I felt like probably a good thing considering it was back day, haha. =-)
I also threw down the 15 minutes of cardio pre workout, I did what you said you did, bike 5, incline 5, jog/run last 5. Was a great way to warm up.
Man I had ZERO Endurance by the time I got to biceps they were so burnt from the pulldowns and the rows, so I picked up the 20lb barbell, fuck ya I check my pride at the door for the sake of my workout, and I did 20 reps really slow and controlled really flexing my biceps at the peak, then lowering it slowly/repeat.
I did this 3 sets x 20, gad I wanted to die, puke, cry, haha. fuck it hurts!
then I did 3 sets of reverse, and I basically ended up with just the bar by the 3rd set of 20, and the 20th rep I pressed that bar down hard and cringed my face as the pain was excrutiating, I love it!
fucking love it!!
I also preloaded creatine like we talked about, for my chest day!! TODAY!!! COUNTDOWN LIKE 2 hours!!! WOOOOO!!!!!!!! hahahaha. =)
can't wait.
I should have done deadlifts yesterday!!! ><
