Saturday Feb 2
Triple Anti-KISS 2-2C-II
all weights in kilograms

DYNAMIC STRETCHING
The usual stuff

drop set
A1 weighted chins
BW+6x1 – BW+5x1 - BW+4x1 – BW+3x1 – BW+2x2 – BW+1x2 – BWx1-1

Drop sets worked indeed better . At the last set I was too tired though to get more than 1 rep w/o too much cheating.. and didn’t even want to think about negatives.

waves

deadlift
Done yesterday

PREPATORY WORK
Done yesterday.

ASSISTANCE LIFTS

B1 pull throughs
21,3 (12RM) x20
26,3 (15RM) x14
Totally surprised at how easy the first set was, then realized someone else had intruded into my set-up, done another exercise and then I’d forgotten to reset it at 28,8kg.

D2 Smith lunge
37,5(10RM)x10
35 (11RM) x12

SMALL STUFF
E1 wood chop
16,3x14

F1+2+3 neck exercises (front/rear/side)
6,3x18 front/back
6,3x15 left/right

G1 cable exo rotation
3,8x16

H1 Saxon side bend
6x13

ODD EXERCISES
Excercises You've Never Tried Before #11
H1 Swiss Ball Russian Twist (reverse excercise)




Did it again: this time it was easier, and got 5 reps for each side before I fell off


I1 Hamstring Cable Curl




This time I brought my own ankle/wrist weights and did the exercise with these.
Hmmm it’s still hard to refrain it from sliding up.
Eventually I did the same exercise in the LifeFitness hip station and actually, while you might scoff at machines sometimes, this one really rocks! It’s a bit similar to this one (can’t find an exact similar image though)

Also , since I was already beating up my hams, did a set in the seated leg curl machine. Ouch with just 33x16 (RM = 30reps, set in Oct 2005 when I used to do these religiously!)


General: finally a workout, where despite sore muscles (bum, hams mostly) and a bit painful shoulder I felt strong, focused & confident. Felt great to have that feeling back again, even though my workout wasn’t magically out-of-the-world. Still avoided the sprinting ab workout.
