BW +25 lbs x 4
BW +25 lbs x 3
BW +25 lbs x 3
BW +25 lbs x 3
- PR 19 reps in 5 sets with 25 lbs

DB Skull Crushers
20 lb DBs x 10- PR
20 lb DBs x 10
20 lb DBs x 8 (couldn't do any more lol)

I decided to use the foam roller for my quad and do some other stretching instead of doing calves. Had to choose between the two because my ride had to go soon and it was all i had time for. My quad felt very tender while using the foam roller and it hurt a bit after i was done with it. Is this normal?


Comments: All things considered, today was solid. I am pretty happy with my military press, happy to be able to do 10 neutral grip chins without using any momentum, and ecstatic with my dips. I honestly felt like i was going to fail at 1 rep on the last set, but pushed to 3. Skull crushers were hard as fuck today- going to aim for 3x10 again next workout.

Nice workout jdid! Looks like you did well on every lift! Gladiator if you ever get a chance video your form up for db skulls.

maybe your tris are tired from working them out before skulls or you just use bad form? I honestly have no idea lol. If you really want to experiment maybe do them towards the beginning of your workout one time... I am not saying to prioritize skulls, but if you want a good idea as to whether you can really only handle 25 lb DBs then do them towards the beginning. My weakass friend who weighs 135 and has never worked out a day in his life manages 10 lb DBs for 8 good reps lol.

thanks, im doing a new routine for 2 months its on page 61 of my log. Basically im gonna do this typical bb split, then on cycle im gonna do the same split but cut out a rest day so i get more workouts in a month, and then in PCT im gonna do some sort of 5x5 to preserve strength.

Are you running the 5/3/1?

good shit i'll check it out. Yeah, I am doing 5/3/1. going to go for my 1RMs at the end of this cycle so i get them all before june 3rd... I won't be able to lift until the 9th after that since prom is the 3rd, then i'll be at the shore for 3 days, then i come home to rest for a day before going to college to schedule classes for next year. I want to make sure i get everything in before that cuz my diet will probably be shit and i want to hit my 1RMs when i am fresh.

Also, my mom actually has a foam roller!!!! It came up out of the blue in a conversation we were having and she said she had one.... so im going to use it to stretch tonight and probably everday for my quad a bit.

Abs
Did a circuit with my friend and did a set of planks for about 1:30 directly after.


Comments: Good workout. I am going to start wearing high socks on deadlift days because the blood is really getting quite annoying. Having said that, today went awesome!! I even had to sacrifice some ROM by getting deeper than usual (and i already get pretty dam deep) because my cut hurt like a motherfucker. Shrugs went well- 2nd time really doing them. Pullthroughs went very well and i can definitely already max out the 90 KG they have, but i am going to go up in intervals until i get there. Curls went fine and abs was an ok change of pace. Bench Press 1+ Rep tomorrow!!!
