Tad's Training Log

[Tad_T]

I've read quite a few of Rip's opinions:

"Fuck barbell rows" - no 1
"Barbell rows are a useful assistance exercise, but not a clean replacement one" - no 2

I've never spoken with him about it, but I would imagine that people violating # 2 has something to do with #1.

Nice lifts - seem you're getting back into it. Your BW dropped a few lbs - is that intentional or are you going to stay around 225 while getting strong?

How long does this workout take you? 1½ hours?

Thanks. I'm working my way back up.

My BW is just fluctuating around 225. I am about 19-20% BF right now. I figure that my weight will stay around 225 while until I get my strength and LBM back up.

This workout took 52 minutes.

Lol. 27 sets in 52 minutes. It must have been like aerobics or something.
