I am still in the process of rehabbing a nagging back and hip. However, I feel the need to compete. The plan is to keep dropping weight and compete bench only in the 242 class at the end of March.

Monday - Full Body
Dynamic stretch
Blast strap circuit

Trap bar dl
Working sets:
290/350x5, 375x10
FSL sets:
290 3x5
Close grip incline bench
Working sets:
275/315x5 350x10
FSL Sets Paused:
275x10 x5
Assistance:
Football bar tri ext 135 5x10
Football inverted rows bw x22x16x12

Had the day off due to the impending snow storm, so Jess and I trained early. Back is feeling a little better each day. I hope I can get to a point where I can arch on Friday, we'll see.

The assistance work was good. I like the football bar extensions, they were brutal. I used an underhand grip on the football bar for inverted rows. I think those are going to be the key to building the giant guns I'm looking for.

I wish I had bigger arms, or at least liked to train them,
