MONDAY'S WORKOUT

Alternating DB Curls
Worked up to 55s x 6 + 2 + 2

Alternating Hammer Curls
Worked up to 40s x 12

Calf Press on Hack Slide
Worked up to 50x12 (15s pause in stretch)

Standing Leg Curls

Front Squats
I wanted to work up to a heavy single to see how far away I am from a goal I set (315lb front squat), but I only made it to about 265 before I called it. I haven't been front squatting in a couple months and as a result, my wrists aren't accustomed to the Olympic grip. The weight was still smooth so I'll keep working at it.

Hack Squats
Worked up to 255x8

Worked up to 165x20

Pretty good workout all around. I got to watch one of those funny 'gym characters' between sets today. You know the one - bodybuilder pants, sleeveless shirt, big headphones, frown on his face, lats locked and arms out, big belly. Have I painted a good enough picture for you yet? If I saw this guy in the mall, I wouldn't think he trained. I watched him load up the bar for set after set of shrugs. When he hit 315 he was moving the bar about an inch. Then came 4 plates and then 5 plates, and then 5 plates and a 10. This set, I don't think he moved it at all. Like at all. LOL Oh, and he had no trap development either.

Gym comedy. Always fun.
