working on a new routine

[JDid23]

Nice workout, especially on chins. Those db skullcrushers must have been a crazy pump

Thanks hun. Yeah- they definitely gave me a crazy pump lol. My elbows hurt a bit after for the first time during skulls, and if that is persistent i might switch these. At the moment i love them though.

since i have shit going on today, i have to hit the gym before the next hour! Also have insane calf DOMS from my last workout since i hadn't done standing calves in a longass time or focused on the negative so intensely. Hopefully deads will go well today though

 

[JDid23]

First time in a long time i worked out before 10:00- Deadlift day 3+ Reps

Deadlift
135x6
200x3
230x3
255x11- PR (not done to failure and i felt somewhat dizzy after the 10th, so i said i'd do 1 more)

BB Shrugs (first time)
135x12
135x12

Front Squat
95x10- PR 2x10
95x10
95x8 (medicore form on 7th, form gave out on 8th and i stopped right there. didn't want to risk anything)

Pullthroughs
42.5 x 15- PR 3x15
42.5 x 15
42.5 x 15

Hammer Curls
25 lb DBs x 10
25 lb DBs x 10
20 lb DBs x 10
15 lb DBs x 6 (regular curls)


Comments: Holy shit!!! I felt dizzy after deads like i was going to throw up, so i did shrugs and rested for maybe 4 or 5 minutes until i was feeling ok to do front squats. I didn't want to keep going on the 3rd set because my form was giving out- deads/front squats together gave me a hell of an ab workout and i really feel my abs right now! Pullthroughs were good today- really feeling my glutes fire up. Hammer curls weren't as good as last week, but at this point i was so damn exhausted i couldn't really get a 3rd set in with 25s.

Nice job on the deadlifts. See that high rep deadlift stuff will fit into your routine just fine

Thanks. Yeah- this set took me 2+ minutes... i rested a bit longer after each rep.

Also, according to wendler's calculator, my estimated 1RM is 348 lmao. I HIGHLY FUCKING DOUBT it's near there, but i can't wait to go for it at the end of May. Will be my first time attempting any real 1RMs.

Yea those calculators use percentages, so when the reps go up it becomes more inaccurate.

Hey Jdid, I haven't been on in a while, are you doing the 5/3/1 yet??

Bench Press
45x8
95x2
110x3
130x3

35s x 15
35s x 15

DB Bench
35s x 12- PR 3x12
35s x 12
35s x 12

Seated Calves- 45 lbs very slow negative 6 sets of 10 reps stopping for 10 secs in between. Calves still suffering from DOMS from tuesday.

CGBP
45x8
65x5
95x12- PR x 12?
95x10
85x8


Comments: I hate bad spotters on bench. I told him not to help me unless i needed it in the nicest way you could imagine. On my 4th rep he tried to help and i said i got it, and same on 5th. On 6th/7th, he just didn't listen. Rows were good and so was bench. Bumped both of them up 5 lbs on the dumbbells. Calves i didn't want to hit too hard since i still have bad DOMS in them, and instead of CGBP i want to do something to hit tris more directly- maybe 1 arm overhead extensions since my left arm does more work on cgbp.

Can't wait to squat on sunday!
