Squats 5x5 200 lbs Bench 5x5 145 lbs Chin-ups 3x6 BW+10 lbs Dips 3x6 BW+35 lbs Then some random bicep work... Also - wow, using the dip belt vs. using a dumbbell between your feet is like night and day. My school gym finally got one so I used it today and it felt great. It felt like I flew to the top of the bar when I was doing chins | ||

There is even a notice on the wall that tells people to use only the SSB in a cage while doing box squats. I need to find out what idiot fucked himself up to have the manager put it up. | ||

So we're left with a bunch of 32mm chrome plated bars with bolted ends (no spin at all) and a bunch of no-name bushing bars that (again) aren't taken care of so they barely spin, are starting to rust, and are mostly bent. But we totally needed to get that safety squat bar. | ||

Sounds like you need to incorporate some heavy stretching into your workout routine. The only upper body soreness that should limit your DL strength is upper back, esp. lats, including the loss of grip strength afterwards. Stretching is a manly thing to do. Being stiff and tonic isn't. | ||

Being stiff and tonic isn't. Yeah, I just started lifting again after being a lazy slob/student and and "going easy" is damn hard so I'm going to be pretty sore the next week(s). Mobility stuff also makes my knees feel so much better. | ||

I hope to be there with you in the coming months. Having just started weighted chins and pull ups it really is such a rewarding feeling when you hit all of your reps. | ||
