Gironda 8x8 - Back/Triceps...

Gironda Sternum Chin Ups - 8-8-8-8-8-

V-Handle Pulldowns - 130lbs then, 2x5@180

PJR Pullover - 65lbs

LeverEdge Close BP - 180lbs*

*Superset


Cash Out: 

Lat Pullover - 3x8 @ 65lbs  

Max Dips @ 90lbs - got FOURTEEN! Would have been a PR of 1 rep but more than a few rows were too shallow. Next time! Did it at the end. I was smoked. 


Gironda Sternum Chin-up


  1. Right as you begin the pull, tip your head back and try to look behind you as if you were attempting to do a back flip.
  2. Continue looking back as you pull while keeping your chest elevated and your lower body still.
  3. Depending on the length of your arms, you should make contact with the bar anywhere between your lower chest and mid-abdomen.


If done correctly, the contraction you get in your upper back will be unparalleled and your lats will be on fire after just a few reps. This is an extremely advanced exercise, so make sure you've mastered other easier variations first before trying it. -T Nation
