Complex- (ab place was being used by old ladies and all the mats are filled with the regular saturday people.. wasn't brave enough to venture in there so i did complexes)
Back Squat- Hang Clean- OHP 6 reps each... tried BB Row but callous hurt too much.


Comments: I've had this callous waiting to burst for the last week. My dad had me put on some lotion before i left for some reason, and he overdid it so when i started deads my hands were kind of slippery even after i wiped them thoroughly, making warmup sets harder until the shit came off. after the 1st set it bursted, which wasn't friendly to my grip on the 2nd set. Front Squat was also solid today- no sets were too hard. Bench i am loving it- not much struggle on any rep and no spots on any reps, and can't wait to go for 150 next workout. Chest Supported Row i am going to add 5 lbs per week and try to hit 10 reps. Pullthroughs were a disaster lmao. Some guy said i should be careful, some guy said it works my shoulders like hell, and these 2 hot chicks were givin me the weirdest looks lol. On top of that i think my form was good after the 1st set, but i am not positive. I feel gay doing BB Curls when a 14 year old is doing SLDLs next to me, but what the hell

lol i don't mind feeling gay sometimes nahh, but is there any efficient bicep work i can do besides chinups that don't involve curling or rowing? I really don't love doing curls, but i think i'll just stick with them..

i am going to speak to the gym owner about using chalk next time i am there.

no dont speak to the gym owner, just use it. Then if he tells you not to then you can either choose to stop using it, or sneak it and clean up any mess to nobody complains. if you ask first and he says no and you use it anyway you will be in far worse trouble than if you used it and he said no so you told him you didnt realise that it was banned...

i dont do curls anymore, I havnt done them for a month and my bi's have grown 1 eight of an inch in that time, before that i had been doing curls and they hadnt grown since march 09... If you really want to do some I would just do 3 sets of straight bar curls, incline db curls or scott curls like you are doing now. Just focus on getting stronger on that movement. When you can do 20 chinups and curl 95lbs for 10 reps what do you think your bi's will look like then?

Spoken like a true rule-breaker!!!

I agree with this idea because this is EXACTLY what I would do.

Plus, if they say no chalk, bring a plastic bag and clean up really well after yourself. Getting a bigger Deadlift is well worth the trouble.

Also, if ALL else fails, just use Liquid Chalk from Elite FTS

Regarding Biceps.....I haven't done curls in 3 years now. They're an alien lift to me.

 

[Andalite]

Let me make an addendum to that last statement of mine. I have not done dumbbell/cable/barbell curls for bicep work in 3+ years now. What I have done - and still do from time to time, are very very heavy hammer curls for 2-3 sets of 3-5 reps for the sheer purpose of strengthening my wrist and grip.
