    Default Workout 47 of 150 - Thursday, April 11 - Saturday, April 13

    Workout 47 of 150 - Thursday, April 11 - Saturday, April 13
    - Ibuprofen protocol has helped elbows, but still not totally better, and squat grip still not totally fixed. Continuing with rehab curls and may try chin-up/pin firing protocol.
    - Chins done Thursday, the rest Saturday.
    - Increasing effort on chins because they are falling behind the New Year's resolution goal line - adding lat pulldowns and barbell curls to compensate.

    Workout Sequence:
    - Thursday
    ---- Chin-Up Machine: "4"x10, "7"x5, "9"x3, "11"x2
    ---- Neutral-Grip Pullups: (185.8 + 17.5) = 203.3x3x4
    ---- Chin-up machine (pullup grip): "8"x10, "9"x10, "10"x10, "11"x8
    ---- Barbell Row: 45x10, 45x10, 45x5
    - Saturday
    ---- Hammer Curls: 15x20x3 (each arm)
    ---- Reverse Wrist Curl: 10x20x2 (each arm)
    ---- Squat: 45x6, 45x5, 85x5, 135x3, 165x2, 205x1, 230x3x4
    ---- Bench: 45x10, 75x5, 105x3, 135x2, 160x1, 175x5x3
    ---- Deadlift: 135x5, 165x5, 220x2, 250x1, 280x5x2

    Adam Levine on Instagram: “Workout 46.5 of 150 My chins are getting really far behind my new years resolution goals, so I'm upping my game on them by adding some lat…”
    Adam Levine on Instagram: “Workout 47 of 150 Went in Saturday instead of Friday. Overall, uneventful, did the training and got out. A little light on the video…”

    This log will end and close when my SSOC contract ends on 4/27.

    My next log is located here: Andy Baker's 14-week KISS made complicated. My plan for intermediate programming is unorthodox, but fits my goals, and is still being tweaked a bit.

    Default Missed Workout

    I'm skipping Friday's workout - not feeling well, and have to cook dinner for 11. I need sleep more than weights.

    I could make it into the gym, but i'm not.

    You might need weight on the bar.
    Look how high you pulled it.
    And, some weight helps push the bar down into the rack position when you get it there.

    I myself, cannot hold an empty bar in the clean rack position.
    I need certain amount of weight on the bar to crush everything into place accordingly.
    In fact, 135 barely does it... (I'm not saying start with 135, but just as an example)
