[ChadTheMeatBeast]

Conditioning/Assistance
HIIT Stationary Bike: 20s all-out/100s active rest x 5
Neck Harness: 40x25,10
Chins: BW+35x3x3
Dips: ~-90x8x3 (These hurt my broken arm, but they're very useful. I will progress over time until I can do them with bodyweight and then eventually weighted. I need them for my bench/press progress.)

Volume:

Bench: 215x5x5 (so easy, best bench has felt in literally months. started lifting hips in air while feet are on bench during my setup to feel what it's like to have a good arch with a lot of weight on my traps. i put my feet back down and try and mimic that feeling.)

Squat: 325x5x3 (felt difficult and shitty...I ate 2k calories 2 hours before I worked out. Bad idea. Felt sluggish/bloated.)

LTE: 80x9, 70x10, 55x15 (doing descending sets for some assistance work, it has worked with curls...i like getting heavier sets in and one set with a lot of reps. felt the pump in my tri's on the last set which I never feel.)

T-bar row: 127.5x8, 115x10, 90x15

RDL: 220x5x3 (pretty easy, maybe bent knees a little too much.)

[ChadTheMeatBeast]

Assistance:
Stand-on-band speed deadlift: 285x1x10 on the minute (felt good)

Pullups: Trying to get 40 reps in 5 sets: 10, 8, 6, 6, 8 (38) (shorter rest periods than usual) elbow/shoulder hurts-not sure what's up, but might be referred pain from elbow tendinitis

Neck Harness: 40x25,20,20,20

hiit stationary bike: 20s/100sx7

[ChadTheMeatBeast]

Recovery:
Press: 160x3x6, 120x10 (felt so strong, until I let wrist bend back on later sets)
Squat: 245x3x2
DB Hammer Curl: 60x11, 55x7 (short rest), 45x16

2/18/13 recovering from illness, but screw it let's do even more work than normal...

Intensity:
Bench: 245x4 (had the 5th rep easy, don't know what happened, but couldn't manage it. Very unhappy)

Squat: 380x2,1,1,1 (2nd set was failed double...exact same sequence as last week, except I added a single. Not happy)

Deadlift: 465x3 PR (hard)

Pullups: BW+27.5x3x5

Neck Harness: 40x25x4

Incline Bench: 135x10 (actually tried to go and re-do bench intensity but had no chance, so repped out incline...gotta fill in those upper pecs lol)

Dips: BW minus ~75x10x3 (trying to figure out the different positioning that emphasizes tri's vs. pecs)

Hiit: stationary bike 20s/100sx5 (not as intense as I've been doing)

Took an extra two days off because of sickness:
Volume:
Bench: 220x5x5 (started using wrist wraps today. definitely noticed a difference.)
Squat: 327.5x5x3
Tbar row: 130x8, 115x11, 95x12
LTE: 30lb ez curl bar plus 80x9, 70x11, 57.5x11
RDL: 225x5x3 (wore belt for first time, made exercise easier)

I have some bitching tendonitis in my left elbow/proximal bicep/shoulder. It's getting worse. I will start with some Vitamin I and voodoo flossing. Sucks.
