Chest, Shoulders

15 Degree Incline DB Press
50's/10, 60's/10, 70's/10, 90's/6, 90's/5, 90's/5

Overhead Press
bar/15, 118/10, 138/8, 138/6, 138/6

Incline DB Press
75's/8, 80's/5, 80's/6, 85's/4

Standing Overhead Cable Curls
3 sets

* Grip is better. Workout was pretty good, though I was hoping for more reps on the first set of 90's in the 15 degree press. Overhead Press was noticeably stronger, and I'm happy with 85's/4 incline on what amounted to the 15th set of the night using my shoulders.

Hex Bar Deads (Week 9, 10x10), T-Bar Rows

Hex Bar Deads
150/10, 240/8
320/8 for 10 sets

Barbell T-Bar Rows
145/10, 155/8, 160/8, 170/6, 180/5

I felt like doing deads tonight, so I'll do my upper body workout later in the week. 320/8 for 10 sets wasn't bad at all, so I am thinking 320/10x10 will be pretty smooth next week. I jammed my finger during boot camp last night, so I couldn't grip the DB's properly for Kroc rows. Therefore, I decided to do T-Bar rows.

Hex Bar Deads (Week 8, 10x10)

Hex Bar Deads
135/15, 225/8,
305/10 for 9 sets
  * Started to get difficult around set 7. I'm thinking 320 for Weeks 9 & 10.

Kroc Rows
100's/10, 100's/10, 105's/6, 105's/6
  * My left handed grip is so much weaker than my right, it's scary. The DB kept slipping out of my hand, so I decided to do the left handed reps first, and then just do the same amount of reps righty for balance. It's frustrating because I know the strength to do more reps is there, it's just the grip that prevents it.

Hex Bar Deads (Week 7, 10x10)

Did this on Friday.

Hex Bar Deads

warm up, 305/8 for 9 sets

I didn't do anything else because I was pressed for time. Not bad at all. My initial goal on the 10x10 week was 315, so based on this, I will do more than that in 4 weeks.

Usual warm up

warmed up with either 135 or 185,

290/10 for 8 sets 

TRX Rows... did a bunch of sets


Last Sunday, I slept on a mattress that destroyed my back for 4+ days, so I didn't lift anything worth posting on Wednesday. I ended up missing one boot camp class, as well. All is OK now, though.
