Even Keel Workout 2

50 mins, 97kg

WARMUP

CIRCUIT:

SQ: 8, 6, 4 @ 100kg, 112.5kg, 122.5kg

[When I asked the owner for a spot, he declined, saying, "That's… too dangerous. Do you really… need to do that heavy? We have a rack, etc." Weak sauce!]

Incline BP: 8, 6, 5* @ 70kg, 77.5kg, 85kg; Reverse-grip BP: 25 @ 40kg [LINK]

[Spotter on set 3. He and another guy commented on "how heavy" it was, "too heavy," might better I get a more suitable spotter next time. Weak sauce again! Reverse BP was a little awkward, as expected, but I think it will help my upper pecs.]

DL: 8, 6, 6* @ 110kg, 130kg, 160kg

[Straps on set 3. Quite a pump.]

Bar pushdown: 10, 8, 6 @ 35kg, 40kg, 45kg

Seated lever row: 10, 8, 8 @ 100kg, 115kg, 130kg

Seated db curl: 8, 6, 6 @ 18kg, 22kg, 22kg

I think I should try db DLs this week or next week. Maybe it will simulate the feeling of a trap bar. I won't train grip again until Wednesday and will train Even Keel 1 Thursday. Saturday I'll train grip and do some floor presses (incl. reverse grips), core work, overhead squats, all lightish stuff, at home. I'm hoping to complete ten more chapters of SCG by next Monday. Stay tuned. It's nice not being distracted by Facebook anymore.
