Pivot Block. Cycle 1. Session A.

 BW - 233

Waist - 43.5"

DB Curls - 25sX10, 10, 10 @ 7/8

3-2-0 Tempo Beltless Press (pause at forehead)- 70X7, 7, 7, 7 @~7.5

3-2-0 Tempo Beltless Squat - 225X4, 4 @6

Reverse Machine Preacher Curls - 10X12, 12 @7/8.5

Tempo Pressing got a real burn going in this slightly higher rep range; especially on the 2 ct. pause.

I wanted to try doing adductor work this Pivot to see if it could help mitigate the adductor DOMS I often experience at the beginning of regular training blocks.  I always prefer to work in single-limb stuff in pivots if I can.  That being said, this machine took a lot of awkward trail-and-error to get going with reasonable feeling reps.  I may have to just see if I get any tell-tale soreness to indicate some work was done, otherwise I may have to switch to the regular adductor machine.

RG Preacher Machine had to be on the lowest setting.  Ha ha.
