DB Overhead Press 3x5 40
DB Bent Over Rows 70
Pull Ups 8/5/3 76 assist
Squats are actually starting to feel good again and I was happy to get through a full working set at 185. I'm going to stick there this week and start incrementing up five pounds each week on Squats.
Press was tough, but it always is. Not really all too much else about it.
Rows are where the real story is today. Joe and I have been switching everything over to dumbbells and how far we went with rows today was just fucking stunning. At about 35lbs the dumbbells started to feel heavy, but when you're spending a day finding your weights you keep incrementing up until you actually fail during a set. I predicted around 45 and Joe concurred. We went to 70. Jesus Christ. This doesn't just mean we managed 70, this means we did about 55 reps total on each arm. So basically it was 1x5 like this: 22.5, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 52.5, 55, 60, 65, and finally 70. Eleven goddamn sets. So ya, we're both feeling a combination of amazement and exhaustion. I just can't describe how awesome it felt picking up a dumbbell that is the same weight the barbell was when I first did rows. Really. Wow. It was just amazing.
As a consequence, Pull-Ups didn't go as well as they should have, but who cares?
Nothing else really exciting except to say that doing Dim Sum with Willa, Chammara, Anthony, Andrew, and Joe was totally amazing. That's the first time I've had Dim Sum and it was delicious. Chicken feet are tasty, but a bit too much work for the "meat" and tripe is....eugh. Both flavor and texture just did not do it for me. This was more than made up for by the rest of the meal which was amazing however. I'm really looking forward to more foody experiences with Willa, Andrew, and Joe.
