That sounds like a good back/bis workout, Huy!

I was a little surprised @ hitting 315 for 3 reps. My form wasn't perfect but it was passable. I've only been doing GMs for a little while now but I love em! I feel like it's helped me already when it comes to my squat and deadlift form/back positioning.

Squatted and did some light calves today ... pretty light day, all around volume wise.

Squats (front/close)
Set 1 - 95x5
Set 2 - 135x5
Set 3 - 185x3
Set 4 - 225x3
Set 5 - 255 (failed on this one lol)

Calves (leg press machine)
3x10 @ 630

T-bar rows 225, 250, 270, 250
Widel cable rows 220, 240, 260
Narrow grip cable rows 260, 260, 220

Set 1 - 95x3
Set 2 - 135x3

Good days, Ken and Charlie!

King of Rows? I could live with that.

Shoulder day today. Left shoulder (the bad one) kept me up a good part of the night and was still hurting when I got up. Wasn't sure I was going to be bale to train, but first set told me I could get through it, even with the discomfort. I only did presses and shrugs, but I even bounced around a little on the presses like I did yesterday on the rows, kept me interested and motivated anyway.

Military press 135, 155, 175, 195, 155, 205, 155, 185, 135
Barbell Shrugs 225, 255, 285, 315, 365, 315, 275

Gym got a heavier kettlebell I weighed the heaviest they have and it is 28kg. New one is 32kg.

75+20 reps=95 swings at 32 kg
Abs
Speed Bench 3x5 225 different grip width on each set
Cold Shower

I really should have done measurements before changing my workout and diet. My waist is definitely smaller, abs are more visible, and overall just leaner. I think the target date for a routine change is end of July. Probably going to move over to something with higher volume.

My gym just got the Olympic platform along with the bumpers plates. I love messing with these. Probably do some heavy deads today, wish me luck. Haven't deadlifted heavy in a long time. Making sure I get at least 3 meals in before I train later.

Rock on!

Wife wanted to do a WOD after work so I tried to keep pace but I was still pretty burned from lunch.

Push-ups 100, took me a bunch of sets
Sit-ups 100, took me almost as many sets
Bw squats 4x25

Have a good game Tom!

I love the bumper plates, really prefer using them to iron.
