Upper 1, Week 30

Fall '07 - Upper 2, Week 30

Overall Impression:

its reading day before finals. i woke up really early today after only 6 hours of sleep and i had been studying from 10 am till 6:30 pm with a one hour break for lunch and then i studied from 7:30 till 9:30 and went to workout. now i dont feel like studying...might go out partying....i hate accounting. lol. however, diet today was pretty ok. im upping my protein intake.

Military Press

i did a LOT of sets for these. ill list them right from warm-up:
95x5
115x2
*work sets from now on*
135x3
140x2
145x2
150x2
155x1
120 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets
fuck yeah! 155x1 is a new PR for me (not even my 1RM though). its also 90% of my bodyweight right now. well, 88.9% but whatever. im pretty thrilled about this. the goal with this was to do some heavy pressing work using only 5 lbs increments as the largest increment. i think i did ok. considering i was very tired when walking into the gym, im happy about this workout.

Pull-ups = 10 sets x 4 reps x 10 minutes

this was worse than last time. im gonna have to repeat this 10x4 scheme next week. shit.

Seated Barbell Shoulder Press = 95 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets

nice. i think i need to work the midpoint of the ROM of the military press. the bar went up really slowly around there.

Lat Pull Downs 2 sets x 10 reps x 150 lbs superset with Pull Overs 2 sets x 10 reps x 45 lbs

nice!

Facepulls

80 lbs x 10 reps
100 lbs x 6 reps
120 lbs x 8 reps
140 lbs x 5 reps

Leaving Thoughts:

im pretty happy. my overhead pressing strength is pretty dencent for my bodyweight i reckon.

i hope everyone else is happy with their week so far. thanks for reading, guys
