A little wildness never hurt anyone! Well, not that much, anyway... as long as it's just a little...
I managed to squeeze in a back workout today at the company gym. All smith machine.
Deadlift: upped the weigh on this to 380, got the 5x5 in about 20 minutes. So 4 minutes per set including rest. Basically, I waited until I caught my breath and went after it again.
Moved right onto pullups. Don't have my weighted belt at work but I put four 2-1/2 lb plates in my pockets for an extra 10 lbs, plus working out in my work jeans and boots.
5x5 but it was a struggle. Also hurried through these.
Smith barbell rows: last couple times I did 205. Went up to 215 this time. I got the 5x5 but form was terrible, plenty of cheat. Gonna have to repeat this one a few times.
15 challenging sets in less than an hour. Great workout! I felt like my back was a mile wide at the end of it! It had been just about 2 weeks since my last back workout so I was pleased with the progression.
Scale is still hovering around 203 to 205 first thing in the morning, which is fine. I have put on some fat, as I've said, so I wouldn't mind a little recomp here for a while.
