Day 21

Strength training today was focused mainly on back exercises... Trained with a friend today who is alot stronger than I am. IMO it is always better to train with someone who is better than you(yes Ocon I'm talkin bout you haha). This way not only will I get motivated to push harder, but also will feel comfortable lifting something heavy knowing someone will be there to spot me.

Workout:
  • Dead lifts- 4 sets pyramiding the weight all the way from 135 lbs to 245 lbs w/ 2-14 rep max range
  • Wide grip pull ups- 3 sets w/ a total of 24 reps.
  • Dumbbell rows- 4 sets pyramiding from 60 lbs-90 lbs w/ 6-10 rep max range.
  • T-bar rows- 4 sets pyramiding up from 45 lbs- 115 lbs. w/ 8-15 rep max range. I then reduced the weight down to 45 lbs and rowed till complete exhaustion.
  • Squats- 4 sets pyramiding the weight from 135 lbs to a max. weight of 225 lbs. w/ 2-10 rep max range.
  • Bench press- 4 sets pyramiding from 135 lbs to 185 lbs. w/ 3-20 rep max range.
  • Standing shoulder press- 4 sets pyramiding from 95 lbs- 135 lbs. w. 4-12 rep max range.
BTW if you have not tried this when you excercise, I suggest you do now. It's an awesome product. It's like gatorade on steroids lol.
