4-2-12 Workout: Bench Press Focus
For these next 2 weeks I am going to be doing my bench press, deadlift, and squats using the reverse band setup (see below video of how to do this). Today on reverse band bench press I ramped up doing sets of 3 and hit 435 X 3. After that I dropped down to 315 lbs and did 3 sets of 5 reps of close grip bench press. I followed that up with bent over rows and DB rows on an incline press and concluded with some stretching. I will try to get some video footage of my deadlifts on Wednesday.

Thanks. I am using the Elite Strong Bands for these 2 weeks of training.

hey Derek when dieting do you recommend dropping the post workout shake for solid food protein? chicken, egg whites. Also do you ever have egg whites or chicken, tilapia when dieting preworkout or is it better having a shake for your preworkout meal or do you just do the shake out of convenience in the A.M.?

I personally prefer a solid food meal post-workout when cutting simply for the fact that it will keep you full longer. In the offseason I may do Whey + Oatmeal + PB but when cutting I usually do Grass Fed Beef on Ezekiel Bread with Sweet Potato Fries.
Meal #1 is my pre-workout meal and I have Whey + Oatmeal + PB because it is quick, easy, and tasty, but you do HAVE TO use whey or a shake pre or post-workout.

4/16/12 Workout: Bench Press Focus
After two weeks of reverse band work it is back to standard lifting. Today on bench press I hit 315 X 5. I wanted to get 8 reps but 5 was it for today. One thing I really noticed today is how my bench press technique has changed to a much more explosive lift. I have hit 315 X 8 in the past (a year or so ago) but today's 315 X 5 felt much more explosive and powerful and much better suited for lower rep work. I have always been better at lower reps than higher reps, guess that is what my body is built for. Anyhoo, I followed bench press up with Chest-Supported T-Bar Rows, Incline DB Press, Incline DB Rows with some band work (i.e. face-pulls) in between sets.

Hey everyone. I have been slacking MAJORLY on posting here!!! Things have been going well. I have been getting weekly ART for the past 4 weeks and have 6 more weeks of treatment (1 session per week, bought a 10 week package). I figured it was time to buckle down and shell out some cash to get some consistent treatment and get this dang lower back, but is feeling really good this week, back to 100%.
I have been half-ass cutting for like 3 months so I decided instead of simply maintaining my weight I am just going to add some calories back in and focus on gaining strength and size. I think what I am going to do is post a weekly recap of my training on Friday's starting this Friday. I may start a new thread or simply post here, don't know yet. Anyways, I am going to do some cardio in about 10 minutes.
I'll be back!

I read through some earlier pages of last year where you had elbow pain, do u still? Both of my elbows are nagging me, so I just started taking glucosamine/mcm product for repair, and doing 3/4 movements on pressing movements. What are some other good tips I could do?
