(15) CSS 525

3x10

Reverse hyper 115

4x12

GHRSU 45

4x8

Neck Harness 45

Press

5x180

3x205

1x230

14x160

Notes: Definitely out of the post meet slump now.  230 flew off my chest and was tough at lockout, which is most likely due to the fact I am not locking out my assistance work.  I'm ok with that.

V handle chins

67

Reverse band dead hang chins

6x20

Notes: Need to find something else.  Thinking chins against bands next.

Swiss bar bench against bands 135

5x10

Notes: This was insane.  Even with such minimal bar weight, it was an ass kicker.  I forgot how high reps of bands are like trying to get out of quicksand.  Crazy chest pump.

GB curls w/3 sets of chains

5x10

Lateral raise/PC combo 25

3x8

Bench

3x235

3x270

3x300

15x250

Notes: Right leg cramped up on the set of 15.  Had to kick the leg out and do the set with one leg.  Still managed, which says to me that my leg drive is absolute shit.  Need to address that.

Pull ups

67

Chin medley 45

6x15

Close grip strict press w/fat gripz 115

5x10

Notes: Part of my continued off season campaign to do shit that I suck at.  Was always terrible with close grip movements.

DB rows 210

Squats 285+chains

3x10

Notes: Second week in a row I couldn't lift the chain supported squat.  I have determined its a positioning issue rather than a strength one.  More than likely recent weight gain is interfering with my ability to get under the bar.  Going to start the cycle over, with chain supported squats for 4 weeks and then touch and go squats to chains the next 4, ROM progressing the entire time.  Theory being that if I can bypass breaking the bar off the chains from a lower position, I should have the strength for the squats.
