F7 GST A

Total time: 43:30
Still have tendonitis in forearms and elbows, but resumed Rx. Took out planche leans and reverse curls for now. Good pace. Felt strong today. Spent a little more time on wrist exercises which impacted final time, but I'm ok with it.

SLS/SE5: 5rx5 (mastery) good warm up nowadays

Single Leg Squat

5r SLS/SE5-iM for each work set

Fries hamstrings. Wow. Focus on minimizing arm assistance on both eccentric and concentric phase. Toughie!


Sumo Deadlift 19:00 -41:00 (all DL sets)

225 x 6

315 x 8 really good weight. Great set. Tough last few. Nice grind. (Set started at 40:00)

Keep weight at least another week until both sets are fairly smooth straight through. 

MN 44:00 - 51:30

MN/PE9: 4x4r

V to L Hanging Leg Lifts

These are brutal! Legs coming down with momentum are very hard to stop. I know these would be easier with back support, but I don't have that luxury right now. 

5r MN/PE8-iM for each work set

Weighted Bench Pike Squats (65#)

Killers. Make sure knees lock out on every rep. 

Overall a great workout. Way to push the pace.


SL 53:00 - 60:15

SL/PE10: 3x8r

1/2 Windshield Wipers Brutal when I do these last

Tough without back support, but if done on Smith Machine, you can get full ROM.
