    I was on vacation from 11/6-11/13. About halfway through I went to hotel gym and did 3 sets of incline db bench and 3 sets of db goblet squats. This was only done to reduce detraining.

    New Programming- Bench every day (or most days anyway). My workouts have gotten really long- often 1.5-2 hours in duration, usually 3-4 times per week. I want to see if I can increase the number of workouts per week to around 6 and decrease the volume per session. I'm thinking 2 bench sets per session, with dup style changes to the bench reps/set. I'll probably keep my doubles and singles only when I'm wearing my bench shirt so I get some equipped practice. After bench each session, I will pick a single additional exercise and do 2 sets AMRAP. I'll do the first set heavier and the second as a backoff set. I will try to get a squat and some type of pull done once a week, largely just so I don't see big regression on squats/deads. I've never done his much bench before so if I start to get some pec pain or elbow tendonitis then I will back off this plan.

    Suited deads @ 500-1 straps up w/ belt; -1 straps down w/belt; 1 straps down no belt. I continue to struggle getting into a decent starting position with the suit. I'm not sure I really get much out of the deadlift suit as I lift conventionally and the suit gets in the way of effective training. I think I'm just going to lift sans deadlift suit in my next competition even if I compete single ply.

    I tweaked my back doing the suited deads. I really struggle to get into position with the suit. I think I'm going to only do raw deads for a while. I'm not sure the suit is helping much anyway on deadlifts.
