Training Talk

We didn't do Back Raises today :-(...we started a bit late and we talked quite a bit about the seminar this weekend and questions I had about it. But, that always makes an awesome day to me, so it made up for missing back raises. :-) I really never cared much about my training...until I started to learn a little. Now I want to learn more and more and more. Love talking training. I also end up realizing that I understand a little more than I thought...it's just different terms that are being thrown around for the same idea.

Brian said I looked strong today :-) I haven't been logging very well what RPE's we've been using (for those of you that pay attention to that). Today for bench we did sets of 4 at a 9 (meaning I had one left over)

Competition Bench with 75 lbs., of chains - 95 lbs., 110 lbs., 125 lbs., 115 lbs., all for 4.

Cambered Bar JM Presses - 70 lbs., 80 lbs., 90 lbs., 100 lbs., all for 6.

Shrugs - 100 lbs., 3 sets of 12. :-)

Lateral Raises - 12 lbs., 3 sets of 12. ~ I actually REALLY enjoyed these today...very much. Brian lightened them up a little from what we used to do, because I didn't ever really get my arm straight out, then it would pull my shoulder forward. But, today, Brian held me from behind (cuz I was strapped to the bench from shrugs) & we used the lighter weight and it worked great and it felt really great.
