Poundstone Curls - 100 reps

August 30, 2014
6ish

#31daysofarms #augustofarms

Well other than hitting arms every day this month my only other goal was to make it to 100 with these curls. I stopped there but I still feel I could've grunted out a few more but they would've been getting sloppy.

I'll start adding some weight to catch up to and maybe pass Jedd.

D4, B1 - Press

#31daysofarms #augustofarms

Back is still gimped. I don't think being stuffed into the Jetta for 6 hours yesterday helped anything either so I did an anti-Brooks Kubik workout and laid down for just about everything. I also got some armwrestling in last night as well.

Incline Press - this angle is tougher than a flat or strict press. I'll stick with it for awhile.

My back is still a bit niggly so I decided to work with sumo pulls. The pull feels great, the reversal sucks. On my second work set I got a little twinge on the third rep. Pulled one more and decided to call it before I really aggravated my back. I think if I practice these though it might just be a stronger pulling style for me. Only time will tell.

I'm also leaving out the pull-ups to give my back a bit of a break plus I should get some arm wrestling in tomorrow.

August of Arms, Day 24

Evening

#31daysofarms #augustofarms

Biceps are fine, triceps are still feeling Saturday. I figured I'd give a go at repping out the bar with skullcrushers. I'll also note that when I do them I take the bar over the top of my head to the bench, not just to my forehead.

BB Skullcrushers x 30, 20, 20, 15, 15 - wicked pump!

Running around all day today. Back is still bugging me. Got home and remembered I've still got work to do for Jedd's #31daysofarms #augustofarms I wanted 100 but just couldn't do it today. I want 100+ by months end.

My back is still gimped so just standing straight is a challenge right now. Figured I'd just hit a couple of sets to stay in the August of Arms challenge though.
