Haha I guess I really fell behind.

Did I just see three bench workouts in a row? Enlighten me T-Block.

Haha alright you know my secret. I strained my back a bit and in addition have wanted to take a little break so I stopped doing squats and deadlifts for a bit. Even though it sounds stupid I'm focusing on my bench for a bit in hopes of 315. I did 250x5 and then 275x1 a few weeks back, and I hope I'm at around 280-285 now

EDIT: I realized it's been almost a month since I squatted or deadlift heavy. Hopefully I havent lost too much strength I want to start up both soon though.

Your strength will be close to the same....it really helps me to randomly take a good 3-4 weeks off at random for these exercises. The first week back might feel cheesy but soon enough youll feel great.

Wednesday 2.23.11

Military press
3x8x120

Weighted planks
90 lbs x 1:00
90 lbs x 1:00
180 lbs x 1:15 Huge PR

Weighted pull ups
70 lbs x 2
45 x 4

Comments: Great workout! Military press wasn't too strong, but after the 1st two sets of planks my friend tried it and got 90 lbs for 59 seconds (way too close haha) so I asked for 135 or 3 plates for like 45 seconds. I start it up and end up deciding to go to 1:15. I get up and they tell me they actually put 4 plates or 180 on hahaha! This really shows me the power of the mind...I mean there's no way I would have though I could do that and I really wasn't pushign that hard on the 1st two. All I know is today my hamstrings are super sore from the planks lol.
