Yup, Has to be black coffee haha Can't drink it any other way
I did notice that my form wasn't as good on Bent-over rows as last week. 20lb might have been too big of a jump, might have to drop the weight a little next week and focus strictly on form. I'm just happy to have hit 200lb on bench press...as sad as that is :p

Nice workout and congrats on the 200 mark on the bench! I can still remember the first time I hit 205. Its an awesome achievement.

Half a cup of coffee and 1 scoop of AH, By far my favorite combination!
[u]Comment:[/u] I didn't do as well as I had hoped. Went up in a few reps than last week but nothing remarkable. I think that I'm going to keep my next few workouts pretty mellow. On the second set of deadliest, my lower back was killing me. I'm thinking it was because I didn't take a rest day after yesterday, which worked my lower back quite a bit.
Feels like I'm going to my interview looking like this haha

Crazy workout man.. gettin it in!! Ive never tried tri ext w/ an easy bar.. how do you feel it is as opposed to using a DB?

Thanks, I actually like it better with the ez-bar. I noticed that my elbows didn't get as sore using the ez-bar compared to DB. The main reason that I switched is that the DBs at my gym only go up to 75, so I knew that eventually I would need to switch to ez-bar anyways; figured I might as well start using the ez-bar.

Spider Curls! Thats awesome. Just have to keep it together when members of the gym try to be helpful, and inform you of the correct way to use the preacher curl seat.

Thank you both! Isn't it great! Haven't seen many people use spider curls in their routine. I have had someone walk up to me and ask what the hell I was doing haha

1 scoop AH and 70z of coffee! Nothing great today, but hopefully more energy for tomorrow! Took deadlifts out of the rotation for the time being, going to focus more on squats. Might put them back in the routine in a few weeks. Now off to the ER for a few hours!

I feel great today, Really think that the AH is helping with my quick recovery and decreased soreness. Had 2 scoops with 10oz of water. I did switch up my workout a little bit, switched out Skull Crushers for JM Press as Mtownballer20 suggested. It helped a lot, my elbows feels great after the workout compared to the normal soreness immediately after. Thanks for the suggestion!

Woahh.. such a dizzy routine!
But either way, you did an awesome job in hitting PR's! Especially towards the end of your workout :) Incredible endurance!!
