Traditional Strength Training; Week1Session1; Monday 9:00PM-11:00PM
This is the start of a new program. I received the remainder of my Quick-Lock Dumbbells and even though it is late, I need to train. My lungs are getting better, but I am mighty congested. I need this for my health. It would be easier to go to bed, but I want health more than I want comfort.
So it begins.
Rope Work, Back, Biceps
- Heavy Rope Work 100revx10 (This really brought some healing to my lungs. They are so much cleaner now.). More rope again tomorrow.
- Pullovers: 60lbs x 10pause, 9pause
Parallel Chins: 5xbwf, 2bwf - Stiff DB Deadlifts: 60lbs x 10
- Hammer Curls: 20lbs x 15pause, 10pause
Seated Superbench Incline: 20lbs x 6, 2
Several observations:
First, I have not touched iron in over four months, or close to it. So, all in all I am very pleased. I did not use a lot of weight, going for slow movements and pauses where possible and using supersets to increase intensity without so much volume (similar to Heavy Duty). Pump and contractions were excellent. However, my right shoulder was giving me tremendous pain with the seated curls, which is why I pooped out so fast on them.
I get the MRI this Friday, so we will see what is going on there. Wish me blessings in your prayers. I hope that the news is good, of course. But whatever it is, I will have His Grace and Power to get me through it.
As I said, it is great to be back! The iron felt tremendous. Better than I even expected. It almost felt like my first workout! I was disappointed with my shoulder though.
The good news is the hammers did not hurt my shoulder one bit and neither did the chins, so I do have a way of going after biceps. I will just have to stay away from traditional curls for a while longer.
Oh, and the Quick-Lock Dumbbells? In a word? Awesome!
If you do not have a set of these you are being cheated! These dumbbells are of the most ingenious design ever. They are worth EVERY single penny and more!
My goal is to be able to do hammer curls with 55lbs, stiffs with 120lbs each for 20 reps, DB squats with 120lbs for 20 reps and chins with 22.5 lbs added to my body for 15 reps. Shoulder will definately have to be 100% for that to happen.
