Speed pulls...
A good gym is a lot like what I'd imagine a bar like the one represented on Cheers to be. Except with a lot more perverted humor. At least the one I go to is. Today was one of those days, I was fed up with work. Felt like crap. Get to the gym, see my friends, and have a great training session. Made me feel 100% better. So yeah, it was a good day. Lets pop some numbers. 335 for speed pulls 9 sets of 2, didn't do them off a deficit because my lower back was feeling a little tight, in retrospect it was just the first couple of sets I felt tight, so week after next when I speed pull again, I'll definitely do them off 3/4" or 1.5". After that did some chinups/pullups. I learned something today, do your pullup before chinups, because damn I was hurting, chins 5x5 pullups went 1x5, 1x3, 1x4, 1x2 long rest 1x4. Followed that up with some yes and nos, thanks to Leah I found out someone called them bad girls and good girls, which pisses me off for two reasons. #1 It's pretty sexist. #2 I hate the fact that people think the hip adductor/abductor are just for women. Damnit people, strong hips are a corner stone of a strong deadlift/squat. Do them, if you're stronger than the weight that's on there, stick some dumbbells on the weight stack. Just do them. Yeah, the first few times you'll walk funny and sure if you're a guy until you can get yourself situated right you'll pop your cods a few times on the adductor machine, but it's worth it.
