Hex Bar Deads (Wk. 5, 10x10), TRX Back

Warmed up with hypers, leg curls, and leg extensions.

Hex Bar Deads
185/10, 290/8 for 8 sets

TRX Rows... did a bunch of sets, Tabata style

* This workout was definitely easier than most because I wasn't supersetting chins with the deads. I may continue to do this as the sets and reps on the deads increase.

Hex Bar Deads
135/10, 275/10 for 7 sets

Declines, Inclines, etc.

Decline Bench Press
bar/40, 138/10, 158/10, 228/5, 208/7, 208/6

15 Degree Incline DB Press
50's/10, 70's/10, 80's/7

Hammer Strength Incline Press
180/11, 200/7, 200/6

Hammer Strength Shoulder Press
90/10, 140/5, 180/7, 180/6

Concentration Curls
35's/10, 35's/10, 35's/10

TRX Triceps
5 sets, didn't count, just went until it started burning.

OK, so this was a bad workout. Just look at my numbers. Only 80's/7 on the inclines!! Only 180/7 & 6 on the shoulders! Only 228/5 on the decline (I failed in the middle of 6.) To make matters worse, I really feel my never healing, always injured shoulder again. This means that I am going to have to stop declines for now. I probably should just stop them forever since I am not going to get an MRI on my shoulder (which I need) anytime soon. Blah.
