Tuesday: Max Effort Dips +

warmed up with some stretches/arm rotations, jumping jacks, burpees (burpees hurt ma foot - bad idea, oh well)

ME Weighted Dips:

• 3 x 30
• 3 x 35
• 3 x 40
• 1 x 50
• 1 x 60
• 2 x 70
• 1 x 80 (felt about max - 2 wouldn't have happened)

After completion I cranked out 10 unweighted just to see how burnt I was (turns out not so much).

Think I am going about this wrong (with the max effort dips, chin ups, etc) -- Maybe I should be doing 5-5-5-3-3-3 only. Ask Bephf, but I feel like 1RMs on these exercises are kinda pointless and if I did the 5/3 scheme, I might have been able to come close to same weights (if I was strategic about build up).

Rest of workout was assortment.

Tried those Abdominal DB Bench Presses -- went down for 2 handed with 4o's - HELL to the NO. Did the 2-armed with 20's (maybe did one set of 5 with 30's - I forget exactly). Did a few sets one-handed (5/side then pass) with 30's, 35's, 40's and 45's... didn't want to go too high not b/c I couldn't push the weight but b/c this exercise is murder on the lower back. In fact, I am not convinced it's even great for abs - the lower back seems to be the part of the body that's most stressed.

Did some DB shoulder presses and raises, some varied DB curls, some cable press downs... just giving the upper body a little bet of attention since I been neglectful due to injury.

The injury seems better -- well after the workout, there was some extremely minor dull discomfort, but no pain whatsoever during workout and not bad pain at all even after... I think we're good. Now for the foot to heal so I can leave some liquid ham on a track.

Ended with some DB akbars with the 100s -- sets varied due to grip... was like 12, 8, 5, 10 or some such nonsense. might have been 5 sets..

Also did a few pull ups and some upright light bar rows just as in betweeners...

Weigh in: 176
