46 days to bootcamp

[Notbigyet]

1/5/10
Bench: 165x5x5
Flat DB press: 50's x 10, 55's x 9
Mil. press: 95, 105, 105x5
Tricep dips: 45x8, 45x7

Still a little drained from the holidays, feeling more like normal today besides a sore throat. Hoping I feel better tomorrow for deadlifts, oh how I love deadlifts.

Sick as shit. Missed a DL day and a metcon. Trying to rest up and be back to lifting Monday.

I've been told by a few good sources that high rep dumbell rows, aka Kroc rows, help build incredible grip strength as well as working the back. Now I just need some advice on how to work them in to my program.

While I'm switching things up, would I be better off replacing the curls with chin-ups? Especially going into the Marine corps, chins are seen as a more functional exercise. Should the change of exercise effect the rep scheme? 3 sets of 6-8/8-10 to parallel the tricep dips done on bench press day seems like a good plan in my head.

Current DL day

DL 5x5
Barbell rows 3x6-8
hyperextensions 3x10-15
barbell curls 5x5


Proposed new workout:
DL 5x5
Kroc rows 3x20+
hyperextensions 3x10-15
Chins 3x6-8/8-10



This sound ok to everyone? This might be thinking too much considering I'll only really be doing it for 2 weeks. bootcamp is 30 days away and the last 2 weeks are going to have more of a conditioning side to them.
