ACCESSORY/SPEED

WARM UP

CHEST-SUPPORTED ROW
4 x 8

SPEED DEAD LIFT
1 x 155
1 x 245
1 x 295 - 6

NEUTRAL-GRIP MACHINE INCLINE PRESS
5 x 10

PLANK
3 sets

This was just getting things done. The machine press (or dumbbell press, if I can ever get a bench away from the mirror guidos) is done so that I can get away from my sticking point... which is my chest. Huge issue there. I think my triceps are about thirty billion times stronger than my chest. Who knows. The speed deads created a bit of a back pump, but it went away quickly.

I'm using a lighter weight in all pulling movements than I otherwise would because I'm trying to stay away from igniting my bicipital tendinitis (at the shoulder). The neutral grip is also to save my shoulder. It may not produce the same gains, but I have to stay healthy.

I'm excited because I try to bloat up on the weekends (got this idea from Dave Tate... he uses it with the weekender crew) and I get to eat a ton of food!
I got a little premature with this. Here is what I ate Thursday:
8:00 AM - soda pop
11:30 AM - Chipotle-sized burrito and 3 cookies
5:00 PM - 2 Chipotle burritos
8:30 PM(post training) - foot long meatball flatbread sandwich from subway and 3 cookies
Awesome. I love being a big, fat powerlifter.
