Lousy results today…more red than blue. I’m not sure why, I felt fine. The first anomaly was the SS Pull Down. I performed it 2nd because, I figured, I would still have steam. But I hit a wall getting it past my eye balls. I think the pull over must have fried my triceps – and I shouldn’t have done the exercise right after the pull over. I showed good improvement on the Overhead press, adding 17 seconds at constant weight – but then my final exercise, chest press, even though I dropped the weight by 37 pounds, I couldn’t improve my time – the difference however, may have been that I had done it 1st last time and now I was doing it last.

An increased load on the pullover followed immediately by pulldown should produce a drop in TUL. That fried feeling in your triceps isn't actually your triceps, but instead is the insertion of your latissimus on the upper/medial humerus (check out an anatomy text). All in all a good workout. Check out www.renaissanceexercise.com for some great articles on how the goal is actually rapid fatigue and shorter TUL's and how not to confuse the assumed vs the real objective of your workout.
