Finally…sort of

Yeah, I know, more workout stuff. These videos hopefully will enable me to look back and see how my form as progressed/digressed. I won’t have time for videos in the upcoming semester; more teaching this time.

The workout itself:
51 total pull ups; 5, 5, 10, 10, 5, 5, 5, 3, 3 and I mixed the grip a bit; did one set of 5 wide, one set with palms facing me (chins) and the 2 sets of 3 were chins as well. Better height this time.

bench: 10 x 134, 2 x 184, 2 x 184, 5 x 165, 5 x 165, 5 x 165

trap bar dead: 3 sets of 10 x 134 neutral (low handle): focus on form.

trap bar row: 3 sets of 10 x 134

shoulder press: 10, 10 with the following on each side: 10 kg, 6 kg, 1 kg collar = 34 kg of plates and collars. The bar: weighed it a 17 lb. So, this is 92 lb or thereabouts.

Digression: so the 20kg on each side is: 109.4 which sounds about right. It is not 114.7

so, 2 sets of 10 with 92, and 1 set of 10 (ugly) with 48 shoulder press.

push ups: 40, 30, 10

Later: my new squat rack came in and so far, I love it. It is a huge hunk of metal: Titan T-3 short rack.

And video of me trying out the rack:

Form videos: pull ups (1-5, 6-10 then 31-35)

Bench: 2 x 184, then 5 x 165
