todays workout

[sinjinsmythe33]

pull ups bw + 25 x 5, 5; + 35 x4, 4

curl bar rows (strict) 170 X 20, 14

shrug/upright row behind back hybrid 117, 137, 177 X 8

need to start heavier next time on pull ups, will go with 35 for all four sets. i know these numbers are not much and i have done better in the past, but you have to start somewhere. nothing like the iron and 95 degree weather to help you forget your problems!!

Great job man. you are gonna' build some serious lats with that workout. Serious.

Whats a curl bar row?

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Do you prefer this row over an oly bar or thick bar bemt over row?

 

[sinjinsmythe33]

its the same as a barbell row. instead of using a barbell, you use a curl bar. i do these very strictly, arching the back but minimal movement of torso or legs. the behind the back shrugs are brutal. i think they were a staple of lee haneys routine back in the day. he had some pretty good traps.

not really

just a change of pace thing. i used do do the yates barbell rows, and got up to 250 for 4 to 6 reps, but i strained something in my left arm. i am going to concentrate on weighted pull ups for a while, the rows will be high reps and strict. im a fat 200 now, want to get down to 180 by year end, so increasing the poundages will be tough.
