Bench Press
135x8
155x8
185x5
205x3x5
205x3x4
Inverted Row (with feet elevated)
1x20 pronated grip
1x15 supinated grip
1x15 pronated grip
Dips
55x8
70x3x6
This felt like a crappy workout, even though I progressed on bench and dips. I guess I just didn't have much energy for much volume. I don't know when I'll be able to do anything that remotely stresses my lower back. I was putting on shorts Monday when I lifted my leg I had a crazy intense pain permeate my tailbone region and I could barely get up. Its still sore. So that means no squats, deads, bent rows, etc (all the good stuff) for awhile. It blows. And the back thing happened after I woke up to terrible news...so that day really really blew.

Decided to do a back dominant workout tomorrow or day after during rows so figured I better back off and save my back. PR in bench was nice...hopefully I'll be setting more over the next few months.

First time doing bench presses with any boards...just seeing what its like. The lockout is the toughest thing on the bench press for me (surprisingly) so I might start incorporating them more...even though I'm not a powerlifter.

I was just messing around with cleans, seeing if I could get the form right. Hadn't done front squats in a long time. I'm going to start making them a regular part of my training again. My hamstrings are going to be killing me in a few days.

Felt really strong in the bench. Dips were using two folding chairs. Barbell Curls were light cause I wanted to see if it wouldn't irritate my forearms..they still did.

c2) Chin-ups
BWx10/8 (neutral, wide)
BWx10/8 (supinated, narrow)
d) Barbell Curls
105x8+3RP+4RP (some cheating on last few)
First time doing deficit deads, won't be the last. Dips are using two folding chairs with bags of cement to hold them down and a karate belt to hold the plates...pretty ghetto but it works. Overall a good session.
