    Hamstrings felt really tight today so I started my workout with leg curls to loosen them up. They felt great afterwards, and I think I am always going to start the day with some lifting right where I'm sore.

    Leg curls

    Hopefully my hamstrings loosen up by Friday

    Swiss bar floor press
    Worked up to 200lbsx2

    Immediately after
    Dips
    15,12 (failure sets)

    Super set
    3x10
    Chest supported rows 50lbs
    Rear delt flies 20lbs

    Shrugs
    315x3x15

    Curls
    30lbsx3x15

    In case you haven't figured it out yet, I am following a skinny bastards program.

    I realized I made a mistake last week I only floor pressed 200lbs twice. Also I banged my elbow really hard before bed last night, and have had a numbness shooting through my right arm all-day.

    Floor Press
    205lbs x2
    dropped down
    185x3x3

    Definitely going to work more on boards presses, my lockout strength is pathetic.

    Dips right after
    11, 8

    Superset 3x10
    50lbs chest supported rows
    20l rear delt flies

    My neck has been bothering me so I replaced shrugs with more arm work.

    Fat Bar pushdowns
    80lbsx4x20

    Straight bar curls
    35lbsx3x15
