Woke up today feeling tremendously sore. It's been quite some time since I felt this way. Almost felt like a piece of paper that got crumpled up lol. Its really the only way I can explain it, shoulders, chest and upper back so tight that it was hard to stand up right. I had to hang off of a door frame to stretch things out.
Todays workout:
B1-
Standing cable curls 11-20 - aim for 8 first set
120 x 11 , 7 , 5
Dumbbell hammer curls 10-30 - aim for 8 first set
40 x 10 , 7 , 3
Leg press calf raise straight set 6-12
**eccentric/lowering portion last 3-5 seconds, you hold the bottom stretched position for 10-20 seconds, then explosively perform the concentric/raising portion.)**
290 x 11
Romanian deadlifts 15-30 - aim for 12 first set
315 x 11 , 6 , 3
Hack squat widow maker
2 plates x 13
That widow maker took the life out of me. I went way too heavy, my eighth rep felt really hard and I was just about at failure at this point so although I should have done a lighter weight, I still hit the minimum rep range of 12 but I won't be moving up in weight until I hit 20 reps.
I kept that rep ranges in for this post. I didn't include them on my last workout post so I'll explain how it works for anyone not familiar. When it says "11-20" this means that after 2 rest paused sets (15 second breaks) I must do at least 11 reps to do the same weight next week, if i fail I move down in weight. To move up in weight, I must hit at least 20 reps.
Quads, back and calves are done as straight sets for safety concerns.
