Steff's old school training!

[Steff]

Hi!
There's gonna be a lot of full body WO:s here ala Grimeck, Reeves, Reg Park!
But every once in a while I like to throw in some Gironda stuff.
I go for measurements first but got some strength goals along the way.

Could have pushed myself to do 3x9 in DB bench but decided to leave somthing in the tank.
I think I've figured out why OHP hits my right tricep soooo much harder than the left: I go about half an inch deeper with my right arm in the bottom position.
Now I'll stuff my bottomless pit!

Strong comeback!!  Great!!

[Steff]

Thanks!
I do try hard.
But the real challenge for me is leaving some in the tank!

I'm gonna back off a bit with the eccentrics on wide grip pullups.
Since Heavy, Light, Medium days work so well on everything else why should I make an exception with pullups?

Down sized the pullup part. Monday is going to be the heaviest day of the week for pullups.
Since it seems to be working well with H, L, M days for all the other exercises.
Could have done 3x10 on squats but due to the instructor course
I'm attending (which included a spinning WO yesterday) I decided to save some for later.
