Instead of going to my gym, worked out at my neighbors garage gym. He actually has a sweet setup: full power rack with bar and plates, DBs, cable setup, etc. I was supposed to do a full upper workout but just did a push workout since that’s what he was doing. Might join him tomorrow to do upper back stuff. He wanted to get his 1RM on bench since he never usually has a spotter and did 285 but failed 295. I worked up to a heavy paused single as well.
Pause bench:
275x1
295x1
315x1 was pretty hard. His bench is kinda awkward, higher off the floor than usual and narrow.
Red slingshot AMRAP:
225x21 was showing him how the slingshot worked
Worked out with my neighbor again in his garage gym. In addition to his power rack, he has rogue jammer arms to do a bunch of cool exercises. Also has a leg press/hack squat machine, kbs, pulldown/row pulley system. Pretty good alternative while avoiding public gyms.
Did some conditioning/circuit training today with my neighbor and our wives. We did 4 stations for 30 sec each and then rotated. We did 5 rounds of each and it had me pretty winded.
Thats a big row bro. Let's see if they as sweet as Evo's or realbusto.
I remember seeing his AMRAP at 225 a few weeks ago and was impressed with how strict they were. Mine are admittedly not as strict but I’ll try to get a vid next time
Had issues with shoulder pain today around the anterior delt and bicep tendon. Not really sure how I did it bc I could feel it warming up but my shoulders have felt fine the last few days. I still was able to work up to my top set but couldn’t do much after that.
Pause bench:
255x2
275x2
295x2
Jammer arm chest press (did these really light)
Skullcrushers
Pressdowns
Pretty frustrating session. Thought my shoulder/bicep tendon was better but started to hurt when floor presssing more than 225. I tried to drop down to 135 and add light bands but at that point it was already irritated so I just had to stop. Ended up doing some real light banded presses instead. Had to play with the pressing angle to find a motion that didn’t cause any pain. Doing the shoulder press after didn’t hurt too bad but I had to cut ROM a little short at the bottom
