lukeamdman Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 That setup looks wide, man. How many millimeters is that? 63mm I think something around 54-57mm would be optimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeamdman Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Axle DL's 110x10 180x10 200x10 These really tax the forearms! I haven't done wrist work in a while, and I think it definitely shows while doing these. After the DL's I did some wrist work with a sledge.

lukeamdman Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Bench 135x10x2 225x3 275x1 305x3x3! Close grip was tweaking my bad elbow a bit. Was going for 265x5 but after two reps decided to stop. Last thing I want is that elbow inury back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeamdman Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Last time I didn't get 305x3x3, I only got 3 reps on the first set. This time I think on the first two sets I could have hit 4 reps. First set for sure. Edited January 13, 2010 by lukeamdman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. Anything over 300 isn't shabby, IMO. Try some explosive rows with it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeamdman Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 I've been working out, just to lazy to post the logs. My strength is going to be down a bit since I'm doing cardio in preparation for softball season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeamdman Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Had a killer workout on Saturday. Did my first real SW workout, which only involved 3 negs per hand, but afterwards I couldn't close the hg150... Today the #3 was sitting on the coutner in the kitchen. Grabbed it and closed it... So I got the camera out: No chalk, no warmup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
