RE Press
10" Log Strict Press
140 x 8
150 x 8
160 x 7
*Was hoping for 8 on the last set, but got out of the groove on 5 and 6, so that pretty much sucked my energy out there.
Bench Press
225 x 4
245 x 4
265 x 4
*Just didn't feel good. I don't think I bench press often enough to expect things out of myself, but I just couldn't keep a steady bar path. Really wanted 6 with 265.
CG Bench
185 x 12
195 x 10
205 x 7
OH Tricep Extensions
3 sets of 15
Not the day I was hoping for. I didn't start training until 8 pm as I was returning from out of town and didn't have a ton of energy to make it through this. I cut out my back work and will make it up during today's squat training.

Tough getting started that late man...you made it happen...made some progress. It's better than getting home, cracking a brew and watching tv..........maybe

It is getting there. Now we need the leg drive containing version to cooperate!
Indeed! Man my drinking has cut waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy down over the past couple weeks. Feels so much better!
That it is.
Thanks Austin. 300 should fall shortly.

Trained at Fe yesterday and felt pretty damn good. Hit a solid squat PR and had more in the tank. The only bad thing was that I had to drive home for almost 2 hours after that session with a nice low back pump and hamstrings that wanted to fall off. It was cool.

Maybe not an opener, but definitely an easy 2nd .
I was amazed how easy 435 went up. I had to double check to make sure it wasn't still your warmups or something that I was watching. Nice.New log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=144101461
