LRB Back & DL. Week 1. Pressing

BW - 207

Inclines -
BarX30
85X5
115X4
135X3
155X2
185X1
165X8, 5

Pressing -
BarX10
65X5
85X8, 7, 7

BB Curls - BarX25, 25, 20, 16
super-set with
Rope Extensions - X25, 25, 25, 15 (straight-weight)

My best with 165 is 12 reps.  Focusing on building muscle and strength in my back, etc. for a while so this is fine for now.

Need to back-off more on the front pressing.  The reps are supposed to be much higher than this.  I hadn't done any front pressing in a long time, so I wasn't sure where I would be with that; plus the fatigue from the Inclines.

LRB Back & DL. Week 1. Vertical Pulling

BW - 205

Chins -
BWX5
+10X5
+20X4, 3
+25X2
+30X1, 1, 1
BWX15

Wide-Grip Pull-Downs - X8, 8 (to a top set)

Underhand Pull-Downs - X8, 8 (to a top set)

Incline Curls - 25sX15, 15, 12

15 chins at a BW of 205 is an all-around PR.  Kind of surprising after a two week lay-off, but I'm not a super-strict chinner either.  Still, all the weighted chins were quite do-able as well, and that feels nice on it's own.

Pull-downs were all fine.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do at the gym today when I left the house, so I didn't grab straps.  The final movement here was supposed to be DB Shrugs, but, strapless, I did curls instead.

Solid session.  I dropped the goal weight back on squats after last week, and that meant my 2X5 weight was the same as last week's 2X8.  Everything was smooth

Deadlift is still feeling tough off the floor, but all the reps still moved fast and smooth.

Good session.  Everything was fairly fast on Incline.

On rows, I worked up until 8 reps felt heavy and did one more set there.
