The Amazing Race: Fitness Thread / Work-Out Thread

[andybob]

Finished up the good old Shortcut to Size this morning. Weights on all lifts went up a decent amount and I def added on some mass. Starting it again on Monday and basically using it as a template. I'll switch up some of the excersises each day but still hit the targeted muscle groups.

Set a PR on the good old leg press this morning.

580x5
600x4
600x4

That's about 3 times my body weight so I think that's pretty solid. Hopefully I'll keep making steady gains over the next 3 months.

I'm a big fan of pendlay rows. And I refuse to wear gloves or straps. In my opinion, if your grip is the first thing to fail then you might need to work on your grip. And if you're wearing them because it hurts your hands then you should go workout at planet fitness with the women. I do all my lifts raw. Maybe I've just been lucky enough not to have sweaty palms because I've never used chalk either. She might be a little biased, but my girlfriend makes fun of guys who wear gloves at the gym. She doesn't even wear them.

I tried gloves for a while cause I got a free set that had wrist support. But that was forever ago. Ive been thinking about picking up a set of good wrist wraps though. And I still need a belt. Hopefully I can score those soon if I can make a few extra bucks. Im trying for a gym total of around 1580 by the end of the year. 605 squat 405 bench 570 dead lift
