Been a while. Changed up the routine a little.
Heavy days are still 2 sets each, medium and light days I started doing 3 sets for compound movements and added pull ups/chin ups. This cycle I lowered the bicep curl weight by 5lbs and bench & rows by 10lbs. Also modified the rep scheme too, weeks 1-3 target reps are 10 if it's short doesn't really matter, and 4-5 12. I'm pretty confident that weight for all exercises will be going up except maybe overhead press.
Added pull-ups because I hate rows. Just don't really feel it in the lats. Now that I've added pull-ups, my lats are sore as shit...
Bought some new gear recently, got a weightlifting belt but not too sure how much I'll be using it. Just needed something cheap to add as a filler item to get free shipping. Belt is a Harbinger 233. To do pull-ups, need a new bar because I couldn't use the one I already have (bar was pulling off the frame). Just a basic one that you screw in supports to the side and hang up the bar, so far it seems solid. Lastly a pair of 1lbs ankle weights, pretty much to put on the barbell so don't gotta move up to 5lbs. Example, overhead press is at 80lbs, so gotta move in 10% increments so it'd be 88lbs, ankle weights + 2 collars roughly makes 3lbs, and got that 85lbs no problem.
Back to the shoes, I will no longer be using them for squats. No issues with them but just been reading up on them, and I have no problems with ankle/hip mobility and I haven't seen an improvement using them.
