JUNE 25

BACK & CHEST

APOLLON AXLE 2" thick bar Deadlifts 1x 200, 250, 320, **340 **
**NEW PR**

Hit a new PR on APOLLON Deadlifts today. Went from 250 and loaded on to 340 and just missed it at the sticking point just under my knees. AGAIN!!
Tried a couple times again, rechalked my hands with that tite grip stuff and just budged it.... But I went down to 320 lbs. and hammered that up pretty smoothly and then decided to go 1 more time at the 340. Didn't think about how or the best way to... just got down, grabbed it and ripped at it and started to go up again to the knee this time I really sat back with it and it was the slowest lift I've ever done and was starting to feel light headed but there's no way I'm losing this one. Locked out for a few seconds after like YEAAAAH!! FINALLY!
That's been a plateau for a long time.

I was still sore in my back from Saturday's work out with the sandbag. But I just did what I had to enough.
If I was 100% I had to wonder how much better it would've gone today. (??)

Bottom Position Bench Press in the power rack : 195 lbs., 215 lbs x 15
275 lbs. x 3 x 5

Cables incline Press 3 x 8 80 lbs. each.
(Did these standing in the cable crossover with the cables set on the bottom and step out, pressing them forward and upward together on an incline instead of using dumbbells.)

Seated Cable Row 3 x 20 220 lbs.
Smith machine Floor Press 2 x 6 275 lbs.
(Basically bench pressing while laying on the ground instead.)

Bent Rows 265 x 15, 305 x 3 x 10 (switching grips between sets)
Flyes 3 x 15 55's
Chins 3 x 20 (bodyweight) (switching grips between sets)
1 Arm High Rows 3 x 10 each 220 lbs. (switching grips between sets)

Back Extensions 3 x 20 (bodyweight)

I tried the alternate a back exercise with a chest exercise then back. Pulling then pushing. Classic effective way to train the whole upper body.
