Light leg day... oh boy the fun
Squats 225X20 225X20 205X20 205X20 Went deeper than parrallel for most the reps. Felt good, especially on my back. Compression of the spine = feels good. Hack Squats 300X10 300X10 300X10 It's funny because I found a way to utilize my hips on this machine. Made the last two sets VERY easy. But with my hamstrings beginning to tighten up it was still hard at the bottom of the rep. But now I know how to squeeze another plate or two out come heavy day. Calf Raises (I needed a break lol) 220X8 260X8 240X8 (Single legged) +80X5 +20X5 Oi Leg press 6 plates X 6 5 plates X 12 5 plates X 10 5 plates X 12 Whew! Definitely a higher volume then I am used to. My quads REALLY hurt in a lactic acid kind of way. It felt like someone was pumping them full of maple syrup and they wouldn't contract very quickly. The good thing is the 3rd set of leg press really burnt out my quads and I could feel my hamstrings take over. Very cool Down a 800cal shake of PB, 2% milk and whey (Fat and sugar, I know, blah blah) and here I am.

Chest!
I never fully woke up for this workout. My weights suffered bench 225X8 265X5 Still half asleep.... although I think throwing around 265X5 half asleep is still ok  DB incline 100X6 100X5 Dips New form, straight up and down as opposed to my usual lean at the bottom. Weights were very easy. @ 204lbs +45X8 +55X8 +65X8 Could have done more Pushdowns 14platesX8 15 (Full stack) X6 15X6 I used the machine just after this elderly old man. He seemed kind of energetic and after I moved the pin from his 6 to 14 and repped it he looked down, looked at me and went "Whoa" and laughed. Haha  Flies 8X6 7X6 7X6

dips tie in nicely if you've just done chest, but do you think your pre-exhausted chest would fail before your tri's on this movement?
granted your position is more up right to hit the tri's more but did you feel your chest screaming for mercy lol?

Tonight is going to be my back workout No deads unfortunately. Went to the chiro as I got some pain after deads and after feeling the spine for a minute she asked "Do you feel anything up here?" (Upper back) I said yea and she said "Figures, everything is out of alignment up here"Oi :/

I told her I was going to lay off the deadlifts until she gave me the ok, she didn't even suggest it. She didn't say anything about my other exercises, and I am fairly confident it's only the deads screwing with me since sometimes I got after a heavy squat session and everything checks out. Bench rows dips and all that good stuff I am going to keep doing unless she says otherwise. Just no deads

Leg day
Squat 225X5 295X5 345X5 345X5 The 345's were solid but I dropped 10 pounds from my last workout. Calf Raises 220X8 280X8 240X8 Hack Squats 340X5 380X5 400X5 400 was easy, making me think something is up with my squats, since thats a 20 pounds improvement over last workout. Go figure. 400 maxed out the machine too, so I can only move up reps now.

Chest day
Bench 225X5 245X5 275X5 275 was clean as ever I need to stop breaking my wrists and I will get an extra 5lbs or so on my lift.DB Press 100X6 105X4 100X6 Burnt out from BP but I don't care Dips 90X5 55X8 55X9 Still burnt out from bench. Plus, I fought for a 6th rep at 90lbs, and got stuck an inch or so from lockout for 15-20 seconds. It sucked, and it burnt me out even more. Pushdowns 13X8 14X6 13.5X8 Cable flies 11X8 12X8 Downed 20oz or so of milk and whey. Going to eat soon. I think my gains have been limited by my food (Dur). Today I ate constantly and before lifting I had chicken and potatoes, and coincidently I had one of the best workouts in a while. Coincidence? :P So needless to say I am going to eat more now. I'll snap a few pics tonight after my pump wears off.

Haha, just kidding. It's funny because I got my friend back into lifting and I wasn't sure how much weight he did. He started tonight and was doing 115lbs on bench I started talking about tucking his elbobs and some other stuff and I thought his head was going to explode. Then he had a laugh when I started getting loopy halfway through the workout like I always do.Next step is, of course, 320lbs on bench So far I have been lifting weights that match a max rep chart, hopefully it's right since by a chart I can lift 320X1 at 275X5.

Nice numbers on your lifts there. You do know we consider you one of the "big" men here
Anyone benching 300+ lbs can never be considered a lightweight. Keep up the good work. I do stop in here and see your numbers improving, but never posted anything. The only thing missing from your routine is a solid shoulder workout, and maybe an exercise or two on the tri's. Might even mix up your BP where you do some wide-grip paused, and maybe try some db BP first, the hit the bb bench. I see you found the secret to eating before working out.. your body loved that energy you fed it. Now that you've learned the secret, do tell theara or TRAZ!!

I usually do mix it up with DB press first and Shoulder presses thrown in there, but have stuck with bench as my lead off because I am making good gains, both size wise and strength (300lbs to 315lbs in a month). I've been doing dips and pushdowns as tricep specific exercises, as well as a powerlifting style bench, is there anything else you would suggest?
