Training and some changes in the routine......

Yesterday -
Mid-shin deadlift shrugs -
225 x 10, 5
315 x 8
405 x 5,5
500 x 5,5
585 x 5,5
635 x 5
585 x 9

Cable Rows - stack x 6 sets of 10
Hypers - 4 sets of 12

Notes - I was 233 btw.  Anyway I am going to spread the routine across a few more days.  So essentially it will end up looking like this..........

Mondays -
Pressing
Arms

Tuesday -
Rows
Hypers

Wednesday -
Russian Leg Curls
Abs

Thursday -
Squats
Hypers

Saturday -
Shrugs
Rows

Sunday -
Russian Leg curls
Abs

I knew with me trying to specialize more than 1 bodypart it will take a little bit of getting in the gym to see how this would pan out.  First day out I knew I didn't want to do high volume shrugs AND rows AND hypers.  After the hypers my low back was already pretty fried.

  2. Paul,
    In setting up those mid shin/shrugs, should we be shooting for high volume? You have 11 sets...

    Thanks!

    John - That's just what I'm doing. I kind of go by feel really.

  4. Interesting set up, I know you're doing this to up your deadlift, so I was wondering what a similar routine would look like if you wanted to up your press (or push press)? Would your main weakness areas be similar to the ones in the deadlift (core and upper back), but with the addition of more tricep work or something?

    Keep the good shit coming, Paul, love reading this blog.

  5. Hmmmmm I'd have to think about it but more than likely it would be heavy pressing twice a week, with one day emphasis on shoulders and the other chest. With a lot of tricep work thrown in after each one.
