7AM
Lower back/ab warmup
Upright Rows - w/ Apollon's Axle - Svend Style as always - 123x10, 143x10, 163x10, 183x10, 203x10, 223x10 - Fast pace, rest was adding weight and getting a gulp of coffee. This also hit lower arms HARD.
Grip Training
Warmed up both hands with a few lifts of 1/2 York 80 (42lbs)
Left - BLOB50 - Index finger tap - 9 singles - did not add Platemates - Pause at top, set down with control.
Right - PDA Blobette - 46lbs base - 9 single deadlifts. Last 5 singles with +1.25lbs of Platemates. Concentrate on form. All pulls were fast.
Did some heavy lat work also this past week. Went into this a bit beat up. Backed off on pinch to get some recovery in. Forearms play a big part in block work, for me anyway. Concentrate on the "flex" when lifting. After some time you will know what I'm talking about.
MUSIC - Upcoming - My Dying Bride
