10/9
I had too many days between workouts. Busy at work, daughter's swimming meets, assembling a new treadmill and hanging a giant tv on the wall. I should have worked all day today instead of working out, but oh well, I needed this today.
I got a new toy - a big-ass, 80 lb. trap bar. I'd never done trap bar DLs before today. I've been reading a bit about them and they sound like a good exercise to alternate with conventional DLs.
Trap bar DLs
170*10, 260*8, 310*3, 350*3, 400*3, 450*3, <---(those were with no belt)
belted ----> 450*1,
500*1!!
I like these a lot. My back felt great when doing them with no belt. When I put the belt on, my low back seemed like it was sort of taken out of the movement, and my hips really got pumped. Vids:
260x8
310x3
350x3
450x3
500x1
bench press
45*15*2, 135*10, 185*5, 225*3, 255*3, 275*3 - 4th rep failed miserably.
dips
10
left delt has something going on - gotta have my chiro work on this next week. I'm sure I didnt screw anything up, but I think pushing dips to the limit had the potential to screw something up, so I quit after one set.

7, 7, 6
blast strap rows
10, 10
pnfd2 - 25 lbs * 10 * 2
