January 19, 2013 – Day 3, Week 7

2) Dumbbell Overhead Extensions – 100x3x12

3) Band Pull-Aparts – 3×12 w/ Monster Mini Band

4) IYT’s – 5’sx3x12

5) Rope Cable Face Pulls – 90x3x10

6) Floor Paused Triceps Extensions – 110x5x8

Comments: Got to the gym late. I spent most of the day watching the LA Fit Expo All American Strongman Challenge on livestream. Meant I had to go through this workout at light-speed to be done before the gym closed. Luckily this is a workout that can be done with short rests. No idea why z-pressing is still so tough. It's not much weight. I felt stronger before I got sick. Decreased reps on triceps played to my advantage as I went through them. Fatigue was definitely setting in on the upper back accessory stuff. Hardest face pulls have felt this whole cycle. No time to stretch.

Dynamic Warm-ups

1) Deadlifts – Up to 545×2

Comments: Just awful. Wanted to just punch something. I felt slow on warm-ups but this was just unacceptable. I'm not sure if only getting a double with 545 or only pulling singles with the speed weight pissed me off more. No point in continuing the workout at this point.
