Back Day:

Lat Pulldowns: 3x8 at 160
Seated V-Bar Cable Rows: 3x8 at 170
DB Rows: 3x8 at 95
DB Shrugs: 3x8 at 75 (2 sec hold at top)
Clean Shrugs from the power position: 3x5 at 170

I added the last as an accessory for Oly work. In a squat rack, I have the steel safety bars set at a height that mimics the power position (me in the knees forward scoop position) for me to initiate the shrug pull from the correct position. I have a habit of starting the pull below the power position.

DL 320 4x3 320x9 365x1 385x1 405x1
Close Grip BP 135 4x5 135x14
Lat Pulldowns 150 3x10

First time pulling 405 in the gym, and 4 plates since my meet back in February. 385 flew up easy so I figured I’d give it shot. Legs were a little shaky, but the weight came off the ground immediately.

Week 3/Day 3 today.

Flat Bench on the 2nd bench day of the week is a bunch of single rep sets. I finished at 275 last week, but I doubled up a couple of days already this week and I can feel the effects. 285 is the goal this week after just missing it in set 6 last week.

ETA: From 2 hours ago..

Flat 5x1: 245, 255, 265, 275, 285, 290 BONUS!
DB Incline 3x8: 85, 90, 90 (only 7 in last set)
DB Tricep Ext 3x8: 90, 100, 100
Tricep Cable Pushdowns 3x8: 90, 95, 95

Hit 285 easily and bumped up to 290 in a 6th bonus set and hit it.

Are we getting 300 next week after finishing at 260 a mere 2 weeks ago?

frick yes.

Right before you drive your hips through. About knee height. Hold your brace for a few seconds then explode through. Whoooo
