Thanks man. I've been hitting the weighted chins and dips hard but I think some time off from those will do good in the long run.
8/23
just messed around today.
Bench: worked up to 185 for singles and did some back off sets with 160
Elbows Out Extensions: 35 x 15, 40 x 12, 45 x 10
Face Pulls: 50
Barbell Holds: worked up to 315 for almost a minute
Curlz and abz
Dips/Chins: did about 60 each
Have any of you guys downloaded the vault off elitefts?
Thats how I found out about the elbows out extensions and these have become a godsend for me. I can't do regular triceps extensions because they are so uncomfortable and painful but this exercise doesn't hurt at all and really isolates the triceps. And I suck at benching so hopefully in the long run this will help bring it up, well that and eating more, sleeping more and eventually putting on another 10 lbs would probably help as well.

I downloaded it and am probably about 60 pages in. I will look for the elbows out extensions. That is a crap ton of information that they gave away.

9/1
Went the gym for more messing around
Shrugs up to 345 x 6
50 pullups
Some bicep and triceps work
ended with 50 minutes of brisk walking on the treadmill
With 2 - 3 short gpp sessions a week made up of sled/prowler stuff and a few days of walking I think I have overall cardio covered, it's kind of nice actually. I feel better this way. Don't always log my sessions though.

9/7
Squat: 45 x 10, 8, 135 x 8, 165 x 5, 195 x 5, 225 x 5, 255 x 3, 285 x 3
Hack Squats: 90 x 12, 180 x 10, 230 x 10
SLDL: 135 x 10, 155 x 10, 135 x 10
Calfs and ab work
50 min steady-state after wards.
Inner part of my right leg near the groin has been really soar and slightly painful the last couple of days, plus some aches in my back and knees made the squats kind of suck tonight.
I have found that SLDL's should be done pretty light to feel the stretch. I actually had trouble keeping a straight back with 155 but that could be because of all the aches lately.
