Competition training log

[Fuglydude]

Haven't updated this thing in a while.

Last couple of days have been pulls(back) and chest.

Chest:

Pretty uneventful, but I did manage to get 10 reps w/ 100 lb dumbells... Slow good controlled reps. This is a personal best for me!

Pulling:

Had the opportunity to go train at a great power/olympic lifting facility with a good buddy of mine who's a competitive PL... Man, I miss training like that.

6-inch block pulls:

100 kg x 3
125 kg x 3
155 kg x 3
175 kg x 3
205 kg x 3

Finished w/ glute ham raises and good mornings... Then I had to come back to the regular gym after a meal and finish off my other boring back movements!

Bodyweight has been going down, but I don't really care at this point because I definitely feel substantially leaner.

Post WO wt: 188.

Arms today.

Smith machine narrow grip bench.
Strict form w/ arms really close to side and a little bit less than shoulder width as far as grip goes.

135 x 10
155 x 10
185 x 10
205 x 6

Super-setted these w/ standing bicep curls for the first two, and then preacher curls.

Skull crushers... I have a tough time with this movement, but as time goes on, I'm able to feel a much stronger contraction in my triceps.

40 lb barbell x 10-12 x 4 sets

super-setted w/ seated bicep curl w/ 17.5 lb dumbells.

Weights are pathetically light, but I have to keep it light to prevent my back from taking over. Got a good arm pump from this combo.

Pyramids w/ one-arm preacher curl machine... Lots of reps done unilaterally. Quite brutal!

Finished w/ unilater standing tricep cable work.

I'm beginning to get more of a feel for arm training as time goes on. My arms are among my weakest body parts. 15" arms look funny when you're 5'8" - around 190 lbs and wear a size 46 suit w/ a 32" waist!
