Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

today:

back
10 min treadmill warmup
cable pullovers 45x20 50x20/3 (warmup)
mag grip sup grip low rows 85x12 8512 100x12
one arm bb rows 10x10 35x8 45x8 55x8 65x8
meadows rows 35x8 50x8 60x8 70x8
dante rows 70x10 120x10 160x10 (went to light on these)
banded hypers x20/4 heavy red bands (these wrecked my erectors big time haha, i freaking hate the low back pump so bad)

that lat piece is still ill tempered so i didnt push it at all. it tightened up on that first set of pullovers so i went light and focused on a light stretch and a good contraction to get blood in there and moving around. same thing went with the low pulley rows. went nice and easy focusing hard and getting the area good and warm and pumped up. i went moderately light for the whole workout being extra cautious and 100% laser focus and going slow and very very smooth. feels great now so hopefully i got it worked out and taken care of. overall a decient back workout but nothing to brag or write home about.

meal 1
16oz skirt steaks w/a1
2 tbl spn coconut oil
meal 2
75g myfusion probiotic pro 3cups almond milk
2 tbl spn almond butter and 100g cream of wheat w/ sugar free chocolate syrup
meal 3
16oz chicken grilled w/ketchup
8oz sweet potato
meal 4
16oz ground beef burgers with the works
8oz baked potato plain
meal 5
100g whey shake

2 gal water

Good to hear your lat is getting better. Now I thought I heard something earlier in the week about a video or some pictures possibly. That's the candy I want.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

I love that I get to learn that the 10th rep is a 1 sec hard squeeze and the you were willing to work and work up til the reps became really difficult. Separates you from the rest for sure. I got blessed, getting to learn from the best (beast). Love it!

Ur still going strong brother

getting there man. still giving it hell and about to change gears here really soon

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Thanks for this tip,I have noticed that the Spider walks seem to be working my traps and I hardly feel the rest of what they must be working. Is this why on back and shoulder days you suggested I do them before and after my regular workout? I'll put a bug in Rake's ear and he may change up our routine a little in a couple weeks. Thanks again, I love to learn things from you cause it's always so obvious that it works.
~Trixie~

lean forward more when you are doing them to try to take the traps out. you can also rotate your hands back and forth as you are doing them. it should set your shoulder muscles on fire. i have you doing them on back and shoulders just to break it up a bit. you could also do it with chest and shoulders instead but it may hinder your chest training a touch starting with them. another tip is to always train a weka point early in your session while you are fresh. that's why i say do the rear delt and side delts early on. that is the weak point for most. same thing goes for hams and lower lats. not a ton of people have overpowering lower lats and hams

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

99% of people have stronger front delts from all the pressing and 99% of people have weak delts. so their is no such thing as to much rear delt work when you are fresh lol. something i also learned a long time ago was to hammer the traps before any shoulder work because the traps tend to take over a lot in delt work. so prefatiguing them helps to hammer the delt much more effectively. it has worked very well for me.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

I wanted to do something similar start with rear delt, then side, then front last to try and not let my front delt get too far ahead of the others. But there was too many people there in the way so I just went ahead.

Those waffles sound awesome.

99% of people have stronger front delts from all the pressing and 99% of people have weak delts. so their is no such thing as to much rear delt work when you are fresh lol. something i also learned a long time ago was to hammer the traps before any shoulder work because the traps tend to take over a lot in delt work. so prefatiguing them helps to hammer the delt much more effectively. it has worked very well for me.

the waffles are unreal and only take about 90 secs to make on the waffle iron. they are like crispy cinnamon buns.
