Bench press was (mostly) paused. My deltoids were TOTALLY burned out after just those two sets. I am definitely weak here. Also, the weights on selectoried machines are more variable than Oprah's bodyweight.

My so-called "speed" dead lifts are slow. 275 is about 52% of meet best. I'll get faster.

Here is Dr. Steve Brule with some great advice on how to stay lean and healthy, all while eating all the crap you want! It's how I stay super-lean all year round... always ready to get on stage with my pink fanny pack, posing trunks, and lots of fake tan to show off the guns and win lots of bodybuilding trophies!

M/E BENCH PRESS

WARM UP

BENCH PRESS
15 x bar
5 x 135
3 x 185
3 x 225
1 x 275
3 x 315 - 2

FACE PULL/TRICEPS PUSHDOWN
4 x 10

315 is about 88% of my meet best. I'm going to be working triples for awhile just to work on time under tension and remember how to get leg drive. The next meet is March 26, so I have plenty of time before I start my next cycle to get my technique back in line. I felt like a bag of assholes after the bench press so I didn't do much. I stepped on the scale and I was about a half a pound from 290. I gotta get this reined in.
