great work, what close grip do you mean for t-bars? i thought it was always a close grip?

explain, NOW!

The traditional close grip is the handle generally used for T-Bar rows, I like to use the V-grip handle that comes out a bit more and allows for a better contraction and less bicep intervention.

 

[BigBen]

First off braaq u fucker! I m jelous of your 9 plate t bar row i have oly done 8 for a set of 10. Dude u are seriously strong! It is almost rediculous. Deads and everything are just huge!

Chest day.... again your a fucking freak

all i can say is awesome strength bro!

Oh by the way your a pussy for not using the closer grip bar just jokes broski! Yr a freak!

 

[Duality]

Strong deads,strong everything.Would be fun to train with you one day

[Pain]

90lb dbs for warmup... Stop making the rest of us look bad.

Great session as always.

 

[Hypocrisy86]

i shall soon be catching up with your db presses
their much easier to do than BB presses.

congrats on those 150s, sucks bout the arm
same thing happened to me last session, plus the benches
arent meant for people with wide upper backs i guess
each shoulder was sticking out like an inch

150s will soon be a warm up for you
gonna be hitting them 200s soon man

 

[El Freako]

Bloody hell! How heavy do your DB's go?

 

[Daniel Andersson]

Holy mother!...that was some serious weight on those inclines
And I forgot to mention those awesome T-bar rows...awesome
Wheren't you suppost to start a little cycle soon also?

 

[Rageking]

90...warm up...

 

[anaboliod]

holy shit your inclines are insane! i think 120 DB is the highest at my gym goodness! I like that back work out you did are your deads stiff legs or regular?

 

[h0ke]

Thanks for stopping by bro
To answer your question, I only do regular deads on back day and will throw in stiff legs on leg day occasionally depending on how my lower back feels.

 

[Braaq]

Leg Day:

Squats:
225 x 15 (warmup)
315 x 12 (warmup)
405 x 15
495 x 4 (I could tell on my 405 set that my lower back was going to be a problem, the weight was easy on the squat but my lower back was still fatigued from deads earlier in the week and I felt the weight pulling me forward. I'll get my set of ten next week for sure )

Hack Squats:
6 plates x 15
8 plates x 12
10 plates x 10

Single-Leg Leg Press:
6 plates x 20
8 plates x 15
10 plates x 15

150lbs x 15
175lbs x 12
175lbs x 12

Lying Leg Curls:
4 sets of 200lbs x 10

 

[Lionheart]

Impressive session bro.I know what you mean about weight pulling you forward `cause of a sore lowerback ,but still thats pretty awesome set there.Go get 10 next time

 

[Daniel Andersson]

"You are breaking my balls right now"

[Pain]

For not training shoulders hard for a month, those numbers are impressive. Awesome session.

Don't behind the neck bb press give you any problems? I can't do those as my shoulders hurt too much doing them.
