Beyond the range of motion Deadlifts

Beyond the range of motion Deadlifts

Today i wanted to try some deadlifts on a 5" box like i saw on Dieselcrew.com site so this is how it went down:

Beyond the range of Motion Deadlifts 4 sets of 10 ( went up to 275lb.s) i know i could've gone heavier but this was my 1st time doing this so i didn't want to risk it LOL

Next was Leg press 3 sets of 15 went up to 14 plates

Good mornings (1st time doing these in a very long time) 3 sets of 10

that was all the time i had for my lunch break so that as a wrap for me. Felt strong and wanted to go at it some more!!!!!!

Muscle Snatches

Muscle snatches

This is the workout i did on Monday Came from the Diesel crew.com site. Love the cats over there! This is how it went

Muscle Snatch 4 x of 6 ( i went up to 135lb.s ) this was my 1st time really doing these and i love them so im sure there will be more post of this to come.

Incline bench press with dumbbells 3 sets of 10 using the press pause system which is you do your press and then when you come down you take 3 secs to come down. this really burnsssss! but helps when your training alone and can't go as heavy any way so this is a great way to get the best bang for your buck!

I super setted those incline press with chinups 3 sets of Max reps

next i did towel barbell curls. basically wrap two towels around the bar and curl. Great for your grip strength and a different burn for your biceps 3 sets of 10

Finished with hand walks on the power wheel. Man did i miss doing these. I did 4 sets of 30 yard walks. My core still feels these and my shoulders of course

Back to the Big Leagues!

Of course if you've been following my post as of late you would know that i'm all about packing on another 10-15 lbs. to my 188lbs. frame! This was another heavy hitter workout that i went through some time last week:

Heavy Dumbbell snatch 4 sets of 5 (went up to about 95lbs.)

Next I did a 5 mins. nonstop super set. I made sure to get about 8-10 reps per set
Incline Dumbbell press (75lbs.)
t bar rows with a barbell ( i had like two 45's and a 35 on it)

Next was another 5 mins. nonstop super set
incline Close grip bench press for my triceps
Plate pinch preacher curls ( was hold about 3 25lbs plates in my hands over a preacher bench

Two great moves jammed together!!!!!

This is a great short on time workout!!!!!!

I only had like a hour to workout and shower and get back to rehersal before you know it but i had the itch to workout so i had to figure a way to get it in.

This is the way it went. It was in Ladder fashion.

Over head barbell lunges (95lbs.) 10,8,6,4,2

Muscle-ups 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Done pretty much nonstop for the most part in a back to back fashion. This plus my warm-up may have taken me 25mins. and im more then sure i could've done it faster but i was kinda pacing myself.
