Your a machine on those military presses bro! I'm hoping I dont hit a plateau anytime soon on my military presses... I've gotta catch up... 25 lbs to go.... 
So are you bulking again now?
If so how long do you plan on continuing the bulk?
Are you cutting up for summer?
As always, great progress!

CCJ, thanks bro. I appreciate the comments.
Bones, I appreciate what you said as well. I dunno about cutting for summer. I don't know if I want to sacrifice the strength. As for bulking ... I've been eating pretty bady lately. Been real busy with work. It sucks. But, I'm eating what I can.

Chest and Tris, abs ...
Inclines.
5x5 with 195. Still goin up.
Flat DB presses.
1x8 with 100s, lots of help on that last one.
1x8 with 90s.
1x5 with 80s. Sooo exhausted by now. I had to rest for a few minutes. I almost had to run to the bathroom to puke real quick.
Stretching.
By the way, if any are interested, I swear, since I started incorporating this stretch in here, my chest has gotten bigger and fuller. And it hurts like all hell while performing it. Such an awesome feeling.
Dips.
1x9 with +90 lbs. PR!
1x7 with +90.
1x5 with +90.
Actually, I've never even done this much weight before on dips, so I guess they're all PRs.
And me, being the ass I am, forgot I was doing 5x5. I decided to do dips first for tris this week for a change. After my 8th rep, I remembered I was supposed to be doing 5 reps. Oh well. So, I changed my tricep exercise routine a bit for tonight.
Skullcrushers.
1x11, 2x9 with 95.
Stretching for tris.
Standing side bends.
1x15, 1x10 with 65 lb DB.
Crunch machine thing.
2x12 with 150.
Hanging leg raises.
2x8, bodyweight. Tried to keep my legs as straight as possible. Very tough.
All in all, very good night tonight. Intense as hell on chest, and some new PRs for dips!

Standing Military press.
3x5 with 135.
