Tuesday workout

Upper back work-

Pull ups- 40 total reps
Db bent rows (HIT style) 2 warm ups and then all out (AO) set x10. I went up to 85's on these.
Note- HIT stands for High Intensity Training. It was first developed by Mike Mentzer in the late 70's, but Dorian Yates took it to new heights, and the great Ed Coan uses it in his training. The point is to warm up with 1 or 2 sets and then go all out to failure on 1 or sometimes 2 sets, then move on to the next exercise. Also the negitive part of the exercise is stressed. This is tough stuff when done correctly. Watch the Dorian Yates video's if you have any questions.
High Pulls- (close grip) 1 warm up x10, then 1 AO set. I went 135 on these and they were real tough. I normally would use 185 on these.
Arrow Pulls- 3x10-15 I used green and mini.
Sitting alternate db curls- 1 warm up x8, then 1 AO set x10. I went 40's for 12 on these. I should have gone heavier, but it been along time since I did this style of training.
Concentration curls- 1 AO set. I went 30's on these for 10 reps. I should have gone heavier.
Abs- V-ups 30, Denise Austins 20, Abs cruches 25.

One more thing no more then 1 min rest between sets.
   

Monday's workout

Bench- 2-3 warm ups x5 reps, then 2x6. The fnal two sets should be hard, with the final set being the best you can do for 6 reps. Don't leave anything here, in fact if you miss the sixth rep you doing good.
Adam and I did some shirt work for 2 sets at the top. Adam went 365x2, 405x1, 425x1, I went 425x2

Db shoulder press- 1 warm up x5 reps then 2x5. Again these should be the best you can do here. I used 85's here.

Laterals- 3x10-12

Banded feet up push ups- (use purple or green bands and place your feet on a bench or chair ) Keep the elbows in and do 3x10-12 Make sure to lock out every rep.

Abs- 15 abs wheel, 30 bent knee sit ups, 20 Denise Austins.

Note- Coach A was back in the gym today, which was great.

Thursday's workout

Speed squats- 50%+green bands single choked. Warm ups 2x5, added weight each set. Then did 5x3. These were done on a box at parallel. My speed sucked. Adam was not to bad and Shoey looked good.

Powerlift good mornings- These are done with a squat stance and knees slightly bent, keep the back arched and tight and belly out against the belt. Stop on the pins, which are set just above parallel. 2 warm ups x5 then 1 heavy set of 5. I went 315 on these. I have done more, but this was it for tonight.

Butt busters- these are new. I use the verticle leg press machine for these and they kill the glutes. 3x10

Banded leg curls- 3x12

Body curls- 40 reps.  

Great video workouts

Today was heavy shirt work for Adam and me.
This will be our last real heavy shirt day before the contest. We did our normal warm ups and then Adam went (Fury 48) 365x1, 385x1 miss- this was not a good sign. Jacked the shirt and went to 405 miss, oh no! Changed shirts. (Rage X 48) 435x1, no way! 415 no go! Adam was not himself tonight.
I went 405 to 2 boards easy. 425 1 board x1, 455 to 1/2 board miss groved, but got it. 475 miss, I let this one roll forward at the bottom and that was all she wrote. Not a great day for either on us.
