    Note:
    I don't have room for a GHR machine so I rigged this up. These are more like Nordic ham curls than GHR

    see video
    my version of GHR without a GHR machine - YouTube

    I was at a gym last week and used a GHR and found it much easier. I didn't need the addition of band assistance. I fact I was holding a 25lb plate.
    I'm thinking it is because with the GHR when you are in the horizontal position as you come up your knee drops down and you get some leverage.
    no so with my set up. I get more hamstring activation this way.

    I got greedy and attempted 225lb and failed. Not unhappy with 215 consider so far this cycle my comp bench 1 rm is 230

    supplemental lift - cable incline chest press - RP 20
    50 ea side x 20,12,8

    after I did 215 while I was taking my rest I first considered 220 as the next attempt. The 215 was hard but knew I could add a bit more weight. I wrote in my log 220 but by the time my rest period was over I changed it to 225. The fucking bar never moved off my chest. Epic fail.

    Note:
    Please with today's training. Form on all lifts felt good. I am starting to feel good about the GM in terms of muscle connection.
    No ab training today. right after yesterdays last set of hanging leg raises, I got a severe muscle spasm in my abs. I woke up this morning with very sore abs. As I worked through my warms ups I lightened up the wt to 70 lbs and did a few sets of 25 reps just to get some blood in.
