15 Pound Incline PR!!

Incline Press

worked up to 245/1 (PR) and followed that up with 255/1 (PR). 245 was fast; 255 felt more like a true PR.

Back off sets: 205/3x6

Other Exercises:

Lat PD's: 5 sets

Floor Press: 185/8, 225/3x5

Curls: 3 sets

Abs: 3 sets

Modest Bench RM

Worked up to 275/2 on the bench press. First time doing 275 for more than one, so I'll take it. After that set, I hit a double @ 295 with the Sling Shot. 300 is getting closer. I'm moving like a turtle down the road, but at least I'm moving. 

Other Movements:

Hatfield Squats (300/5, 315/5, 335/5, 355/5, 375/5)

SSB Squats (155/5... just to ease regular squatting back in.. felt good)

Pendlay Rows (155/3x10)

Planks: 3 @ 1:00 each

Update

I had to bail from the competition in Tampa due to a bad case of sciatica. It happened about a month ago and I have been taking it easy/modifying workouts ever since. I'm now at the point that I can bench and deadlift pretty well. For squats, I've been doing Hatfields lately and will continue to do so for a while.

I managed a 500 lb. Hatfield this past Sunday, which was pretty cool.  Tonight, I benched 225 for 11 reps, which is a rep max. On Sunday, I pulled 465 without pain, so we are on the road to recovery.

While I have been and will continue to workout regularly, posting here will be sporadic. If I hit a rep PR I will mention it, but that's probably it until I am able to get back on to a program. 

With any luck, I will be competing again early next year.
