    whats wrong with preacher curls?
    i find them a great way to cut out any cheating and front delt involvement.
    As long as you dont go to full lock out at the bottom, they are a great exercise

    Today was different

    Interval day at the boxing club

    1 minute rounds of
    Skipping, then
    Bag, then
    Press ups, then
    Abs, then
    Burpees
    x 5 = 25 minutes in total
    All done at as fast a cadence as possible. Horrible

    Tried something new - a pre-exhaust w/o recommended by my boxing coach
    All exercises1 set 10 reps

    Flies
    Incline press
    Flat bench

    Front raise
    Side raise
    Overhead press

    Preacher
    Cable curl
    Front Chins

    wide grip chins
    T bar row
    Dips

    Hammy curls
    Extensions
    deadlifts

    have to say I didn't like it much. Hard to maintain intensity with all the changes of equipment, and hard to judge how much weight to put on the bar. And to top it all have a really sore throat. Sigh.

    Pre-exhaustion has it's place as a way to shake up your routine. I do it 2 times a year just to shock things a bit. I have the same response you do..... hurts the next few days :D !

    Cut right from my journal so I edited some of it since it was a long day.

    03/12/2007:

    Short run today, about 3 miles. Took a lot more out of me than I thought. Also did Pavel's Super Joints to warm-up (not too bad, I like it) and did several different abdominal exercises slowly for 10 reps apiece. Probably about 100-120 reps total, nothing too major.

    Trained at Celli's today, no big PRs but a lot of good advice I can use for my own training ideas. Great day in that respect.

    Did deadlifts first. No straps or belt. Warmed up with some speed deads at a light 275, then added 50lbs each time up to a 475 attempt but missed it. Dropped 100 and tried again but only did 425 as the last. Ryan Celli (national level PLer) helped me out with my form though. He recommended I try a more controlled lowering when putting the weight back down instead of just letting it drop like I used to. He says it's like missing out on half the rep. I did it with the 425's and the 405, I like it. Bummed I didn't get 475, but I think the lack of a belt and the running might've been enough to psych me out.

    Next up was Oly-style front squats, 5-4-3-2-1. Started off light at 115, then added 40lbs for 235x2 and a 275 attempt. Seemed easy until about 1/3 of the way up, had to have my friend Fei help me up. Can most likely get it fresh though, we'll have to see.

    Military press was up next, since I'm not a very good strict presser. Did 165 for a single but ended up slightly push pressing it though, so it doesn't count.

    Did 4 attempts at the Atlas stone they have at Celli's Gym, it weighs around 270# or so. Steve MacDonald (pro strongman in IFSA and one of the biggest guys I've ever seen in my life) gave me some awesome advice for this. I've gotta imagine a line around the stone and use that instead of scooping under it like I used to, keep a slight bend in the arm, and envision getting the fingers to touch underneath it. Then I need to crush, lift, and lap it. I missed the first attempt and managed to get it up in the air the 2nd time with Steve's coaching, but the last two attempts barely got up at all. I went home and tried it out on my 225# and it flew up like nothing though, so that's pretty awesome. Definitely need to keep working on that.

    Finished off with some bodyweight pullups. 10 palms in, 8 commandos per side, and 7 palms in again.

    Cool, 2 times bodyweight DL, bodyweight bench. I think I read people realy start to take off athletically when they get that far.

    Good going though, I haven't looked in here for a while and thought I was the only one who did DBs over barbells mostly.

    cheers, it's the first time I've felt like I'm actually lifting a decent weight and not so much a beginner anymore.
