super pissed to have a headache because otherwise body felt good. no way to do max jumps (or squats or really much of anything) with that much pain though so i just did the above and bagged it. try again tomorrow.

- DB row 80 x 10,8/arm
DB touches ribs on each rep but i should drop the weight a little and get even fuller ROM like kf


there are so many ways to do the bent over db row but i prefer the straight line pull of the db with elbows going straight up.

this IMO is the best leverage we can be at on a horizontal row.  pulling the elbow to the side (instead of up) creates a moment arm which limits the weight you use, and at the same time puts you in a disadvantaged position - in other words.. pulling to the side for lat work will feel awkward specially when you start to use heavier weights. yes, pulling elbows up builds more anterior delt + rhomboids and has little effect on lower lats.

if it's the lat growth you are after, there is a better exercise for this. a movement that puts you in a very strong leverage in pulling the elbows to the side - vertical pulling using neutral grip weighted chins.

goodluck!

interesting point. it's not really lat growth i'm after with these -- i'm not really after growth at all but if it's for anything i'm concerned with upper back, i.e. traps and posterior delts. so the slightly elevated torso seems to get the stimulus i want, at least by feel. like this:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91yeykhcQs0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91yeykhcQs0</a>

any further thoughts on doing 'em that way more than welcome.

WEIGHT: 187.8 (172.0)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee tweaking a little
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 5 + 3
with vest + without

- DLRVJ x ~15
got a dude to throw a few lobs but he was terrible at it. back ironed one with the left hand and one with the right and that was as close as it got. hit 37 without the ball, though. glad i cut yesterday off!

- squat 330 x 1; MEBM 185 x 20

- superset x 3
-- pull up x 1,2,3
-- dip x 1,2,3
vest on

great workout!

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: neck still stiff but not as bad, not too painful
MENTAL STATE: fantastic for some reason

- warm up

- MB OH toss x 3,3
much power, hit ceiling very hard. prob hardest throws i've done.

- SL jumps x 5,5/leg

- squat 315 x 3,3,3
felt so strong, these were easy. could probably have done 3x5, which would tie all-time PR, but that's not the point. last reps explosive on each set.

- TTB x 8,8

- stretch

whoa. not sure i would have jumped high today but i felt strong as fuck. haven't gotten enough sleep the last two nights, either. weird.
