Back to Training

I took off Monday and Tuesday. I have been feeling worn out, burnt out spun out, wigged out, wired out, and just plain out and out tired....
I suppose that Rick's death, a 15 week diet that resulted in me looking like a walking anatomy chart, and a case of cellultits would be enough to do that on top of everyday doings....
Went back to the gym to deadlift last night. Trying to do a more power oriented style of training rather than the typical cross of bb and power I am accustomed to.

320x3
370x3
390x2
wanted to go to a set of 3 reps with 370 to finish with , but hah! silly me. One felt like 500 lbs here.

Good mornings.
We weren't sure where to begin or end up with these, as we never have done them before in our training. We went
185 x I forget
225x5
275x5
I love Good Mornings.

One arm rope pulls. 3 sets each arm. (Rope is hanging from floor to ceiling. Start with you laying on supine on floor)

Face away from the cable pull down machine and do a kind of lat pullover (we'll find a name for it)
60x12
80x6
70x8

Reverse grip pullups
8-6-4

That's it.
Good Stuff!!!

Kate,
What exercises do you perform to get those ribbed abs?

Kate Baird said...

hah!
the abs come from heavy squats, deadlifts and such - very, very rare to see me do any type of direct ab work.

Wow! Amazing. Never thought about going at it from that angle.
