that seems excessive, gotta bring those rep durations down a bit!

that seems excessive, gotta bring those rep durations down a bit!

Why? I'm just trying to blast my delts, triceps, biceps, brachioradialis, flexors and extensors.
It's an all in one workout designed for max arm gains.
Of course my ab gains are on the rise too, so...

yeah but if you decrease the rep duration a bit - you can increase the # of reps. depending on your goals you might find a better outcome (or at least forget why you're there in the first place)

Hit a 250lb deadlift today. It isn't near my best max ever, but after two years of struggling to do anything without feeling like garbage, it was amazing. I was nearly dead after three done rest pause style.

This week I've crushed big jumps on the Bench and deadlifts. I'm exhausted from the last two days. Everything has gone up significantly. Now it is time to dial it back and follow my protocol more closely.

I took out the machine squat and put in a single drop set of death on abductors and adductors. My kid is still building up to heavy squats.

I felt weak as a noodle today. It was a slog through the whole thing. But, I made it through and now post gym meal time.

Gonna do the Sunday in the gym, it's been a moment. I needed to take yesterday off for a day ride. I'll probably hit back and arms.

I had pulled back to just DB benching since I've been training my kid. I've been pressing pretty light for over a month. Yesterday I hit the Smith Machine for bench (no barbell benches available) and nailed numbers that surprised me. I even hit a weight I didn't think I could for a set of four after finishing my 5x5 set.

A reminder to check your equipment before getting started.

I was at a different gym this morning. I thought the bench seat was a little loose. But, it didn't seem like a big deal. I went to lay back for my third set of DB bench press and the seat flipped back. It tossed me off balance and I ended up crushing a finger between the weight of a dumbbell and the handle of the other.

The resulting break almost severed the bone near the top. Urgent care recommended 10 weeks of no barbell or dumbbell presses and to follow up with Ortho when I get back home.

So sorry that happened, Mike. Really stinks that you have to miss that time as well.

I had a cable snap years ago doing heavy pulldowns to the front. Cable snapped, bar hit me in the chest. Injury ended up being a groin/thigh injury from falling backwards with my legs under the supports. Gym gave me 3 months free.

 

[MikeNice]

I haven't been able to utilize barbells and dumbbells because of my finger. I'm getting tired of machines.

Hammer Strength MTS Incline Chest Press
Hammer Smith MTS Front Pulldown
If you like Hammer Strength plate loaded machines, these are awesome. It is pretty close to the same motion and super smooth with belts in place of the usual cables.

Leg curls
Seated chest press
Chest supported row
Leg extensions
Core
