Lower @ Healthy Baller
I screwed myself this week by not training on Monday morning. I was exhausted at the start of training today and nothing felt good. Under other circumstances I would have probably bagged today's programmed training and switched it up to a recovery day, but with World's a few weeks away and not having full control over my schedule, I decided that something was better than nothing tonight.
Forward Band Big Trap Bar DL (avg band, low handles)
10x60 - No band
2x5x150 - On the 2nd set I choked the band around the front of the trap bar and anchored it to the bottom of the rack in front of me, pulling the bar forward and down.
5x260
5x350
5x400
5x440
2x490 - Just awful, the band was really messing everything up since I was pulling on a trap bar instead of a barbell.
5x490 - Took off the band, still super unbalanced since I was using the low handles.
10x490 - Flipped the bar over and switched to high handles, still felt like doodoo.
Glute Ham Roller Hammie Curls/Incline Reverse Crunches
10xBW
2x{10x monster mini band/20xBW}
Paused Bulgarian Split Squats/SS Yoke Bar Calf Raises
2x{10ea x BW/20x245}
Somehow this made my upper back and quads ridiculously sore. The quads might also have to do with using the versa pulley at work today (just for a second, just to see how it feels), but I was really surprised to be sore about a day after this. Even though I was definitely doing work, it was a lot less work than I had planned to be doing and I rarely get sore.
