afternoon
Squats 315-365-405, 315x5
Shoulders smith machine inclined press 185 20x1 (5-10-5) sets | bw dips 20x2 sets (10s)

Calves seated calf raise soleus  4x45lb 20x1 sets (10s)

* feeling stronger after good sleep. not as strong as last sunday but i should be good by monday afternoon. the bw pullups few days ago did some damage to my back. gym had new cable station and i wanted to try the climbers grips. felt good at the time.

Mon Sept 17

morning
Squats 315-365-405,
Shoulders smith machine inclined press 185 20x1 (5-10-5) sets | bw dips 20x2 sets (10s)
Rows seated machine lat pulldown 220 20x1 sets (5-10-5) | one arm cable lateral rows 50 20x1 sets, 60 5x2 sets, 75 50x1 sets
Calves seated calf raise soleus  4x45lb 20x1 sets (10s)

* was strong enough for a 435 but it will be a heavy lift.  skipped everything and wait til i'm stronger later.  adding volumes and intensity slowly to my lateral rowing. i did 75lb 10 reps before and it wrecked my rhomboids in a good way but was a very irritating soreness. il build up to it slowly so there is no peak soreness right away.

afternoon
Squats 315-365-405-435 +15
Shoulders smith machine inclined press 185 20x1 (5-10-5) sets | bw dips 20x2 sets (10s)
Rows seated machine lat pulldown 220 20x1 sets (10s) | one arm cable lateral rows 60 5x4 sets, 75 50x1 sets
Calves seated calf raise soleus  4x45lb 20x2 sets (10s)

* was stronger but was not as explosive on the 405 as i wanted. 435 went up without a big fight but it was a good call. a 455 would have added too much fatigue. will get it tmrw afternoon.

Calves seated calf raise soleus  4x45lb 20x2 sets (10s)

* looking good this morning already. still deciding if i want to beef up my shoulders by going heavier on the seated press or going weighted dips. favoring weighted dips. if i get strained from that, its on the elbows and those don't affect the squats.

* not very happy with the explosiveness of the 405. it felt the same this morning. i took more rests on the shoulder pressing. should be good to go tmrw otherwise, consistent 435s is not a bad thing too.

* bw still sub 200lb but the back off sets in squats for the past few weeks added good thickness. did 405x5 all paused. 5th rep was not maxd and still did an honest pause on that. i'm 455 thick now but will use 435s first to make sure.
* still afraid of going heavier on the lateral rowing. last time i went heavy using 70-75lb, my mid back was so sore it bothered my squat. it hit the muscles of the rhomboids very well but when those get very sore, its very annoying. i always felt like doing deep tissue on my midback using the smith bar.

* planned bare minimum on the squats this morning but was a lot stronger already than the usual morning. took it easy and tested the 435 as planned and it was not heavy. 455 could have been good this morning but i'm a lot stronger in the afternoons from more sleep. will do it later.

* body clock is off a little. slept 9pm-1am.  was already very awake so did not bother doing another 1-2hr nap. a good thing so i can have a long sleep today and work later tonight.

* feeling very strong this morning after recovering from the 4-day work week. i prefer volumes now on my shoulder pressing because my lowerback is getting beat from the heavies. the lateral rowing is still adding doms quickly to the rhomboids to the point that its affecting my squat and mid-high back in general. this is a good thing but i cannot just blast the intensity again up to 75lb and do them daily. i'm not very consistent in logging the right weights. the rowing machine has an effective resistance of half whats on the stack. i put 80 sometimes but its really 40lb. machine stacks out at 150 (75lb real).

20 x 225 must have an element of cardio to it too, i was out of breath on 15 x 225lb, more my lungs then legs/back. Must be even tougher if you had paused too, but anyway, i copied you and am liking the 15 x 225 routine especially when burned out

the 20 reps gets me breathing heavy after the set. i'm alright while repping but afterwards i know i need more air in.

* backoff squat volumes up to 275s but kept the max intensity to single round of 10 and remaining to 5s. doing 10-5-5s and see how it affects recovery.  the 225 volumes got me very coordinated and strong. doing the 315-365-405 singles without any rest again and time in between is only for loading the weights. could have 435 also. favoring volumes a lot because of the extra conditioning work i get from it.

* used the seated chest press machine backwards for rowing. 24" ply box and planted my leg against the back support. the one arm rowing im doing with 75 cannot be increased anymore because the stack only goes to that. had to be creative again. got more room for progress again using the chest press in reverse. i can 20 staight 210-240 but anything over needs the staggered/clustered sets.

* did my rowing with more strict form. keeping my upperbody upight all the time. i can get all 75lb to straight 20 reps but i eventually have to get momentum using my lowerback so i can still get full extension on the top ROM. lowerback rowing and volumes of ohp gets tiring quickly. taking it easy for now.

* doing more of the upright rows because my front shoulders are getting too big. prefer to look wider using more side delt action. lifted twice today because i took a day off from work.

the callous in the middle of your shoulders reminds me of the guys here who have a callous on their forehead from constant zealous prayer. praying with the barbell.

that's an incredible way of looking at it. fits perfectly in this scenario as well. :ibsquatting:

also, anyone else notice kingfish's back looks ridiculous? :ninja:

gotta row to grow.  :headbang:

edit.. i have a phd on natty back gains by now.  most comfortable form + heaviest weights possible + full ROM + high reps = gains.

those massive backs built while on AAS are stupidly easy compared to natty training. you could be air rowing and still make better gains.
