-Felt way better today, and stronger from the layoff. I weighed in at 241 lbs. I supersetted the incline press w/ flyes. I brought my watch so I could keep 120 seconds rest after each superset. The incline barbell's weight was light, so I decided on using a 4-0-1 tempo. For the flyes, I had a 6-0-2 tempo. Made things pretty difficult when combined with minimal rest. Same with the rest of the exercises. Emphasis on a elongated negative. I didn't have time today, but I'm also planning on using the DC stretches after every exercise. Might as well benefit from the increased recovery and possible hyperplasia.

I guess after I made that Poliquin thread, I had it stuck in my head to drop the weight and slow my tempo a good deal. I plan on keeping the weight lighter than I could obviously do because I want to try experimenting with some of Poliquin's principles. (ie. slow negatives, increased TUT, minimal rest between sets, ect.)

The rear lateral machine I wasn't planning on doing, but I just added it in there. The machine is primarily used for pec flyes, but I sit in it backwards with my chest on the seat. It's the machine that just has bars, not the padded butterfly one.
