Abs were sore and I could literally feel my lumbar discs straining on the concentric so I belted up for the last set. Didn't sleep so good last night and spent some time shovelling so I think its just a one time thing.
Just goes to remind me of that theres a large mental aspect to these high rep sets.
GHR
20x3x10
Kind of slid down the pads on the second set, no such problem on the third.
Back Extension
80x2x7
Still easy. 100x2x7 should be in the bag. Still managed to strain my left knee on the first set which continues to hurt a little twenty minutes afterward. Maybe I'll just stick to GHR, but I want to max out and see what I can do first.
I have to put olympic plates on my 1" dumbell to keep going up in weight and I didn't put the weights on tight enough so on the second set with my left arm the weight fell off on one side right onto my foot. Oh well, I'll just consider it a light deload.
Felt pretty easy so I did the reps explosively. Seems like a good way to do GHRs.
Back Extension
100x7
100x10
Decided to go for 10 for a 55 pound PR over a year ago this month I think. Felt harder but I think I still have more in the tank. Dumbell is maxed out though.
