Let's give the bench press rehab another go, I'll be adding 5 lbs per workout unless my chest starts to shoot agonizing pains at me again.

03/30:

Squats: 318 lbs
3/3/3
more reps every workout...

Press: 1RM attempt
152 lbs/ 174 lbs/ 185 lbs attempt failed
I couldn't get the weight past my forehead (on the 185 attempt), so i brought it back down and push-pressed it.

Pullups BW:
9/5/4
I really wanted 10 reps, but i had to struggle for that 9th rep so it wasn't going to happen.

I didn't feel like my body was ready for another heavy squat day yet. Lunges felt pretty good though.

70 lb Kettlebell Press
5/5/5/5/5 (each side)

I could feel myself blacking out a little on the last rep of the last set, probably not a good thing.

04/13:

Deadlift: 329 lbs
1/1/1/1/1
I have no idea why, but every time i went for a second rep, my grip failed completely. So, i rested about 1-2 minutes between sets and did 5 1-reppers.

Press: 152 lbs
5/5/3
If i don't get this next time, i have to deload.

This is an interesting workout. I'm enjoying reading about it. Isn't 329lbs an odd weight though?

Great lifts! Keep up the good work.

Hey LD,

good looking log. did you have a chest injury at one point?

you wouldn't happen to be working out with American Top Team would you?

[Love_Deadlifts]

Thanks for the replies guys.

@ atypical:
Thanks, and yeah 329 lbs is odd, but i have a mixture of plates. Some are metric, some are standard. I often increase weight in increments of 11 lbs, also my big plates aren't 45 lbs they're 44, and my bar weighs 40 lbs instead of 45 (i have no idea why). I'm actually surprised that you're the first person to notice.

@ KCM:
Yeah i do have a chest injury, it prevents me from bench pressing heavy but i'm working on rehabbing it at the moment. No, i've never trained with ATT, but i've been training with Gracie Tampa MMA for a couple of years now.
