  • Reverse Hypers
  • Pull Down Abs
  • Face Pulls
  • Low Rows
  • GHR
  • *2-4 sets (whatever you need)
 

I was going to put my DL suit on today so I could start getting some practice in with it since my setup always changes once I shove myself into that little meatsack. Which is also what you can call any guy on drugs. But alas, I am too fat for it so I need to order a bigger one. Raw it is for the time being.

 

As a result, I spent the first like 45 min of training trying to stuff myself into a suit and go shopping in the warehouse for a new suit and try them on and blah blah blah.

 

  • Deadlift
  • + work up to 75% Pm for 2 sets of 2 reps.
  • + 8 sets of 3 speed pulls at 55%
 

300 2x2

220 8x3 speedy woosh pulls

 


 

  • Pulls Standing on 2 matts
  • + 3 sets of 8 reps with moderate weight
 

My back was still kind of hurty owwy from the weekend so I dropped it to 225 for these sets. Deficit pulls. CLassic back breaker.

 


 

  • Bent Over Barbell Rows
  • + 3 sets of 8
  • Use more weight than last week
 

165

 


 

  • Back Attack
  • + 3 sets 8 reps
  • Use more weight than last week or add more bands
 

Plate quarter dime and doubled black band and an EXTRA 5 ON THE LAST SET OH WOW 10 lb par watch out attacking that back.


 

  • Pull Down Abs
  • + 4 sets 8
 

110 and 120 on my last set! A little flailey but usually when I try to get to 120 it pulls me around too much so I finally did it THANKS EXTRA BODYWEIGHT for keeping me firmly planted on the ground.

 


 

  • Free Time: suggested items like pull downs, low rows, banded leg curls, ghr,

  • + 4 sets 8
