So yeah, I couldn't help myself. After a relaxing sleep, some quality video gamage and food prep I managed to haul my lard-like butt into the gym and decided that the best way to enjoy the Canada vs Russia semi-final game in the World Juniors was by training some Heavy Back Dropsets.
Before I get started however, I actually want to give props to our Canadian Boys. Sure, you had a lot of challenges in that second period, but when they chips were down and it was do or die you pulled it together and made a real game of it in the third. 6-5 is nothing to be ashamed of. No go out there tomorrow night and bring home that bronze medal!

Haven't gone hard on dropsets like that in a while. Felt really good to pop up the 3 Plates on the deadlifts. Been at least a year since I've tried going that heavy. Next week I will warm up with the Elevated Chins to get a fuller stretch in my lats, hopefully that'll give me an even bigger pump when I go for the deaders again.
And only 4 exercises tonight (I can't count those chins, that was a disgrace). I wanted a bit of a change, and was soaked with sweat midway through the Dumbbell Rows which told me to hit my major exercises and move on. I mean, T-Bar rows and Close Grip pulldowns are good as well, but when you're lats are tapped, they're tapped.
So yeah, good times tonight. I feel real strong which is always a good feeling. So now I am gonna sip on some green tea and stay up all knight working on some business. Have a great night everyone.
