Are we defining "reps" as 3 or more? I say at least 8.

Haha I don't remember the last time I did 8 reps on bench. I think 6 sounds fair though.
20 more pounds on my 6-rep bench press. I'll get it.

Squats
245 x 6
255 x 6
265 x 6
Whoa. I guess that shows what 10 hours of sleep and a great breakfast can do. 
Leg press
500 x 6
500 x 6
Legs were still shaking from the squats so the leg press was difficult haha.
SLDL's off platform
135 x 6
155 x 6
These weren't too hard. I wanted to see how the extra stretch felt and I liked it a lot. Really isolated the hamstrings as I got the bar level with my toes. I'm gonna do them like this from now on.
Random calf raises and stuff.
Cable crunches
82.5 x 12
92.5 x 12
Decline Crunches
35 behind head x 10
35 behind head x 10
Damn! When you put that all the way behind your head it makes them soo much harder.
Feel much better today. Now I'm off to a fathers day feast.  :

Looks like a nice workout man. Squats are really improving lately. Now get those SLDLs caught up!  |

I hate bench press!
Flat BB Bench
145 x 6
145 x 5
140 x 4
Horrible. I couldn't keep my feet planted. Form just felt way off.
Incline DB
55's x 6
50's x 6
Again really bad.
Did some pushdowns and skullcrushers to finish off the tri's.
I am gettin an infection removed that was brought on by my crohns disease once again. I figure that's what has been making me feel weaker. I'm gonna try to eat a lot more this week so my body has nutrients to fight infection and build muscle. Any other ideas?

Eat even more. You could take multi-vitamins/minerals. Those never hurt. Looks like I just may get my $5 Paypal-ed to me |

I've been trying to eat like a fiend this week to get myself healthy and such. It's hard though after cutting for awhile. But I noticed I had more energy for the workout today. The tendonitis is still bothering me in my right arm but its starting to feel better.
Pull-ups
Bw x 8
Bw x 6
Bw x 6
Wide Grip x 4
A little better than before. Last time I could barely get six.
BB Bent Over Rows
115 x 6
125 x 6
DB Curls
35's x 6
40's x 4
35's x 6
I haven't tried moving up in bicep curls for awhile. Thought I would try the 40's. They were very tough, but then the 35's felt pretty light for the last set. I'll try to do 40's for the working sets next time.
Finished with some wrist curls.

Decided to use today as a deadlift practice kinda day. Did a lot of singles and made sure I kept my form good. They work a lot better when you use your legs properly instead of just your back! Did a couple sets at 225. I guess my grip is whats holding me back. The 225 completely tore up my palms. I'll have to invest in some gloves I guess.....
Then did 100 x 12 cable crunches. Two sets of that. BB Shrugs 205 x 8, two sets.
If you use a mixed grip during shrugs, will it affect what part of the shoulder/trap is used? I changed which hand was facing out for each set just to make sure.

Don't worry, your hands will toughen up. Soon it'll be your shins you have to worry about. Bloody shins = manly deadlifts.

Yea I scraped the shins today but its nothin. I can imagine it will only get tougher on the shins.
Do you guys normally wear gloves when deadlifting heavier weights? I've developed caluses on my hands the last few months and they all got ripped up today. I kinda liked it though.

Do NOT use gloves. They will make gripping more difficult. Let your hands toughen up. Trust me on this one. I lift 4 days a week and my calluses are very minimal. If you want to use gloves on the lifts like BB curls or skull crushers, feel free, but on deadlifts or shrugs where you need grip, they are definitely not recommended. |

Squats
265 x 6
265 x 6
275 x 6
First rep at 275 was real tough and I almost lost form, but I saved it and made it through the set. I'm happy with this for now so I'm gonna do some ass-to-grass squats the next couple weeks instead of parallel.
Lunges
50's in each hand, 6 per leg
50's in each hand, 6 per leg
SLDL's off step platform
165 x 6
175 x 6
I like the added stretch. These were still easy so I should be in the 200's next time for SLDL.
