I think I even remember reading an article that discouraged pulling all the way to chest as most peoples shoulders round forward, causing strain on the shoulder joint. I was just curious what you did. I am considering shortening my range of motion to spare the shoulder.
      i normally dont do a ton of bat pulldowns with a pronated grip just because of that issue. when i do use a bar with a pro grip i will go as deep as hand spacing will allow while keeping my chest arched and shoulders rolled back. if it compromises at any point i will stop shorter on the following rep. what i like to do more often to work the pd motions is like today i used the traction machine. it has individual handles that start out at the top spaced close and they widen out as you pull down to full contraction. no issues at all with that machine. i also like to do multiple different neutral grips for my pull downs. this takes away the shoulder issue almost entirely. hell we even do pull downs to the top of the head only with super heavy weight and just focus on contractions at the top end of the motion. i guess you could say i do all kinds of crazy variations from time to time

      today

      cardio/chest/shoulders/calves

      10 min step mill intervals 1-1
      hs incline press 55x10 70x10 90x10/4
      bench press 225x2 185x6/4 (felt a bad pull in my upper chest and shoulder on rep 1 of 225 then elbows on rep 2)
      db lat 15x10/4 (all other db were in use so i opted for a 3 sec hold and ultra slow tempo instead of waiting)
      reverse peck deck 75x10 90x10/3
      seated calf raise ss 50x10/4ss
      tibia raises ss ss30x20/4

      done for the day. i controlled and paid much more attention to my breathing during cardio today. so with the control it felt much much better. i wouldnt say easier but much more controlled. i opted to add in bench instead of machine press today and got a little over anxious on my weight selection as i noted. rep number one i got a pull in my upper peck like a cramp then on rep two i got the same sensation and it moved into my shoulder and elbow. so i racked the weight and lowered it. better safe than sorry considering we are only doing blood work training and being easy. i just have to remind myself this each session going in and pay very very close attention. again this is blood work training so bare with me it is very very boring and tedious work lol. i also have to note that my heart burn has been freaking horrific as has my hemroids from some hot stuff i ate over the weekend. my stomach is super super stupid sensitive and i am damn sure paying for it and uncomfortable as all hell. it is affecting my sleeping position and not helping the sleeping issue i already have at night. i have been sneaking in a couple naps mid morning and mid after noon which i normally try to avoid but if feel i need these big time right now for recovery and to plus up my sleep. also need to note that i have dropped my gaba v-root until i start back up with my normal training. all other supps remain the same

      legs (iron horse challenge)

      standing lat pd crunches 70x10/4
      reverse hypers x10/4 (didnt do dick for the workout pump)
      roller work
      seated leg curls 75x10 90x10 105x10 (warmup for ghr)
      ghr x6/3 (cut it short from pump)
      squats 45x10 135x10 205x10/5 (epic fail)
      roller work again trying to loosen everything back up

      done for the day miserably as a failure. going in with the ghr pumping up so bad i couldnt get 4 sets of 6 should have been an indicator of the piss poor performance to come. 4 sets in and i was in some serious pain from the squats, back got stupid painful pump but the quads hams and hip flexors were so pumped it was brutal. got into set number 5 and when i racked it back i was buckling and could barely bend over from the back pump. i gathered myself and ran my wife through set number 6. she get her's looked at me like i was stupid. i rolled into set number 6, unracked it stepped back and went to go down. my quads wouldnt even bend at all, my hips broke but the quad said hell no, i am not budging. i racked it back, stretched a little and buckled a couple more times. went in again and no dice, the wouldnt budge and it was a failure. no way i was putting more weight on and possibly tearing a quad or flexor. so i tucked my tail and went over rolled and stretched a little more to cool down. feel like a chump not finishing the challenge but by god i will be back and i will get this puppy done. i am determinded now to do it even more.

      reverse peck deck fly 75x10/4
      db lats 25x10/4
      machine toe press 190x10/4

      done for the day. did the 200 rep challenge on the incline today. it was absolutely grueling to say the least. the pump was stupid and then some. great workout today though. this is def not something i would do frequently though. i can def see it hammering the crap out of your recoverablitly and cns. my legs are absolutely destroyed from yesterday. they are sore as all hell


      meal 1
      6oz turkey
      1/3 cup cor
      2 tbl spn coconut oil
      meal 2
      protein cookie
      2 tbl spn pb
      meal 3
      steak burrito from chipotle
      meal 4
      6oz chicken
      8oz red potato
      meal 5
      6oz ground turkey
      1 cup oats

      i am dropping off one of my daily meals for a little bit. just to rest my kidneys and digestive system a little bit more. not training balls to the wall and my recovery is pretty good. so no real need to hammer the food at the moment

      20 sets of a single exercise seems a bit excessive.

      excessive is an understatement haha. i hit 200 reps on the incline in 11 sets today. give that one a go, it's a pretty good kick in the nuts as well. i did it different than the actual challenge but i still got my 200

      10 min step mill intervals 1-1

      done for the day. been absent up in here for those following along. those 2 challenges i did last week wrecked me big time. hammered me so bad i was afraid to go in and do cardio and hamper my recovery even more so. so like it has already been pointed out, it was a bad idea and i knew better haha. my tris chest and shoulders as well as my entire leg were brutal sore to the touch. my upper body was sore up until yesterday and i all i did for the remainder of the week was roll and try to recover. note taken not to try and do crazy stuff when in a recovery period. new program will fire up this week though. other than the painful soreness i had last week everything feels really good. still got a touch of heart burn kicking but other than that everything is bouncing back nicely
