As I made the trip up the stairs at the World Gym today I saw our missing training partner from yesterday sitting on the bench waiting. My initial thoughts was basically, WTF. I neglected to look at the missing trainee and proceeded straight to Heavy Lat Pulldowns. On my 3rd set he approached me with apologies for failure to make yesterday's training. He gave me some story about how his mother fell down the stairs and fractured her spine. At that time I told him to sit on the bench and wait for Steve to get there, I was doing upper back and could not be bothered with him, as he couldn't be bothered to let us know he wasn't coming yesterday. I deferred to Steve on this one, and I guess we are keeping the putz for the time being.
I remember when my son was born, it was memorial day weekend 2010, he started to come early on a Sunday morning. The first people I notified were my training partners as I would most likely miss a bench day. Once my training partners were notified, I decided to call my parents and let them know they were about to become grandparents. Well, knowing myself I probably texted them. Point is if you don't care about your training, don't expect anyone else to.
Today's training looked like this:
Lat Pulldowns 5 x 5 x250
T-Bar Rows
Kept the form strict and worked up by plates in sets of 5. On 315 (or 7 plates on the bar) I was able to pull in 2 clean reps
Neutral Grip Cable Rowns 4 x 8 x 240
Wide Neutral Grip Stiff Arm Pulldowns 4 x 15 x 70
Lying Floor Skullcrushers 3 x 15 x 145
Cable Pressdowns 4 x 15 x 210
Overhead Rope Extensions 4 x 15 x 120
Low Cable Horizontal Shrugs 4 x 15 x 150
Kept the volume high, and avoided pressing movements for the most part as I allow the shoulder to heal up. I have a De-load Monday and another upper back& triceps session next Thursday.
