M96C7T6 Weighted Pull-ups, Chained Dips, Pistol Squats & Flat DB Press



12 Jul 2017 M96C7T6    

ASSISTANCE Day

My right quad is still aggravated from last week and yesterday’s high rep squats seem to have pushed it over the edge. Surprisingly, Pistol Squats helped a little and took the edge off. I am hoping this doesn’t become a problem for me on deadlift day. Chained Dips went really well because I’ve finally figured out how to keep my upper back tight throughout the set and I realized on the final set that 8 reps is PR territory for me. I added in Flat DB Presses just to gauge where I’m at with this exercise. I won’t be going for low reps on this again – my shoulders felt like they were going to pop. I will stick to high reps and hopefully pack on some size. Unlike the Deadlift, Overhead Press and Squat; the Bench Press is the only exercise for which I am forced to aggressively target supporting muscle groups in order to improve the main movement, sadly.
