Good stuff. I see you throw some back accessories on your bench day. Nice selection, gives me some ideas.

Ya in general my split is a true upper body and lower body. I like adding in back workouts to help build a stable base for the bench press!

No log for Friday, have to skip Dynamic Effort leg day this week. Not ideal at all but i will adapt. Well i found a new weakness haha. I feel my overhead press is not good at all. do not work barbell overhead press very often. i figures i would be in the 175ish range for sets of two. I was wrong haha. Looks like something i will need to incorporate into my routine more often to build up my shoulders. I am adding the weight of my top set in so you guys have a better idea of where i am in my progress since i see most of the logs have weights posted. So no squats at all this week is kind of a bummer.

Been gone for too long! Sorry i have been out sick. Last week of january i was bed ridden with the flu. Made it our alive and i am starting to get back into the swing of things this week. Got my four workouts in last week (Feb 2-6) but they were nothing to write home about.

ME Bench with accessories
ME Squat with accessories
DE bench with accessories
DE legs(squat and dead) with accessories

Felt pretty drained throughout workouts and could not accomplish everything i wanted to, just did not have the energy.

Back at it this week. I will post workouts with numbers at the end of the week, Finally Feeling better!!

 

[Turbolag]

I hope you are feeling better man.

Being sick really drains the energy levels.
