Braaq's Training Log

[Braaq]

holy crap, those are some sick ass barbell rows bro how do u perform those, im not accusing u of having bad form, but i know of alot of guys at my gym who tend to stand almost upright when the weight gets heavy. do u prefer bending over almost flat or do u keep it at a different angle?

Yeah I see that too... too much actually. I keep myself bent over to hit my lats, not my traps like those that stand up so much. But I do not bend over completely flat, I would say close to a 45 degree angle.

i like to switch it up sometimes, go heavy at like 45 degree angle, then light going almost flat to really hit the lats

Squats:
135 x 12 (warmup)
225 x 10 (warmup)
315 x 20 (warmup)
405 x 15
405 x 13
I will do 500 next week, with no spotter and just getting back into it.. I though it would be smart to hold back for a week.

Leg Extensions:
255 x 15 (the last 5 I did static holds at the top and lowered the weight slowly)
285 x 13 (same as above)

Lying Leg Curls:
170 x 15 (warmup)
200 x 12
200 x 12
200 x 10 (did slow negatives on each rep)

Single Leg Curls:
80 x 12
90 x 9

Did some calves and left, not bad for my first leg day back after my week off. I had only an hour to get this all done and I did it in 45mins. If I didn't have to work tonight I would have done more exercises.

Havent checked out this log in awhile but those lifts are still massive braaq. Where do you work that you had to work so late?

For the summer I am working as a bouncer at night while still working my normal job during the day.
