Keep Movin'

Been a stressful last few days with the new apartment move. I am just starting to settle down a little bit now.
Also, it looks like the Pats will be struggling with Tom Brady going down. I am predicting a 9-7 season without him. Not too bad, but definately not what they would have been capable of.

Last nights training.

Training: Pull

Hammer Strength Row: 3 sets
3 plates per side (270lbs) x 15
4 plates per side (360lbs) x 7
4 plates per side (360lbs) x 8

T Bar Row: 3 sets (SLOW eccentric with fast concentric)
180lbs x 15
180lbs x 15
180lbs x 12

Cable Row: 3 sets (Bring the straight bar up to sternum height in order to mimmick a high pull)
110lbs x 12
110lbs x 12
110lbs x 10

I threw up after the last set of these......but lets continue:

Cable Rope Face Pulls: 3 sets
50lbs x 15
50lbs x 15
60lbs x 15

Standing Calf Raises supersetted with Bodyweight Standing Calf Raises: 3 Sets (The first standing calf raises were done with a slow eccentric, 12 second hold in the stretched position, then a fast concentric. Im trying to apply a few techniques here to force them to grow. The slow eccentric causes more fiber damage, the 12 second pause in a stretch position is keeping constant tension and denying the working muscles oxygen, which in turn increases localized IGF-1 release, and the fast concentric taps into the type II fibers which have the most growth potential. The second calf raises are done with just body weight and as quick as possible.)
100lbs x 8, BW x 40
100lbs x 7, BW x 40
100lbs x 6, BW x 40

I had a lot of stress to use as fuel, so this session took a little longer than usual. Tonight I have chest, shoulders, and neck. I am going to start focusing on neck training once a week. No clients tonight either so I am looking forward to relaxing after.
