working on a new routine

[Tblock1]

I have been doing farmers, but missed em last week. I think the grip might be because i did some back work the day before for my upper body day- not sure though. Couldn't lift today since i was out with the family but gonna hit upper body bench day tomorrow

Personally I think even if your grip was tired you should put a priority on grip exercises.....295 should be no problem for you.

I agree 100% which is why i was so confused. My grip NEVER gave out when i worked up to my 365 max then did doubles with 315,320,325, and 330, but it gave out at 295 after a few reps.. Kinda annoying, I'll see how i do next workout

Comments: Bench went well today, and i know i will hit at least 185 when i test my max. I think I'll try 3x2 or 2x2 with 175 next workout before going for my 1RM the week after. Rows are going real well, going to up the weight to 70 lbs next workout. Watch out andalite- 120s are in the near future Incline DB Bench didn't go as planned.. i think i'll try 5x5 with them next workout. Pullups still hurt my shoulder a bit (only wide grip), but i like the challenge. Gotta be ready to go all out on them next time. Flyes i felt in my shoulder a bit, not sure why. Everything else was solid, and skulls i didn't hold in the lockout and went down slowly, which made it a fuckload harder

nice work man that is a lot of stuff for one workout! You got 185-190 for sure, and if your get say 165x7 you'll for sure have 200 me thinks

Comments: I had to wait fucking 15 minutes for some kids to get off the rack- they wouldn't let me on... were supersetting squats/seated DB military/russian twists- wtf lol. Anyways, squats went well, but they were fucking hard. My last rep with the 3rd set was a bit off- back rounded a bit, but not too much. Going to go for some heavy singles next week, maybe get a 1RM.

Comments: Sub par workout, but that was to be expected since i only had an apple tart and a burger before my workout... Chins are MUCH weaker than they used to be, but i think i'll get stronger again. Everything else was ok- kinda upset about DB Bench, trap bar shrugs i like a lot more than BB shrugs, and reverse grip bench press even with only 95 lbs still hit my tris real hard.
