145 x 10 per position 

Dropped weight from 175 to 145 to focus more on shortening the muscle to the max, rather than pumping out reps. I think there's an inch or two of gold that you're not mining. 

This sucks!!! I almost quit 4 times. Keep this weight for a while. Form is everything.

350 x 5 great set. Belted. Felt very light today. Probably had a 6th, but wanted to make are I had something in the tank for the following sets. Form was perfect on all 5. Weight came up smooth and fast. 

315 x 6 no belt. Great form, straight through. Felt good. (Started this set at 16:30)

315 x 6 no belt Good set. Straight through, quick reps. Focus on maintaining form. Great weight, great effort. 325 next week (Started this set at 19:30)

225 x 6

315 x 3 awesome set. Perfect form and excellent depth. Belted. 4 was possible, but it would have been ugly. 

265 x 8 no belt. Perfect set. Great form, the last few a total mental battle. Strength is there, just have to convince myself to stay in the cave a little longer. 

265 x 8 no belt Wow! Nice work! Great weight. Mentally tough towards the end, but once I committed, the strength was there.

Focus on compression happening at hips, not lats pulling away from bar. Makes ALL the difference. Last two reps on last two sets I was using more lat and leaning back a bit. Watch that form. Gets tough!

Vertical Pike Hang


Killer workout today. Really minimized distraction and worked on speeding pace. Great job.
