I haven't been on lately cause I've had a serious headache, ect for the past few days. Been on Vicodin since, which is a plus.

Still did my ME Bench on Sunday which was incline barbell, followed by JM Presses as my main triceps exercise. Inclines I nailed 315, which is pretty close to my 1 RM. Afterwards I did sets of 5 ramping up to a very conservative 5 RM for JM Presses. Those smoked the shit out of the 'ol triceps. It's a combo of a close grip bench and an skullcrusher. There's two different ways of doing them from what I see on the internet. One explanation talks about keeping the barbell above your upper chest the whole time. Matt told me that wasn't what he wanted. HE said to bring the bar down over my lower chest (using a close grip), then 3/4 of the way down, guide it over my upper chest, then press up..It looks like a "J". Kicked my ass. Got up to 185 lbs for 5 fairly easy. Afterwards came the usual back, biceps, and forearms.

Yesterday was ME Squat/Deadlift. Getting heavy. Had Low box squats slated off a low box. I was basically 3-4" BELOW parallel. Worked up to 365 x 1 no problem. I still had a pretty bad headache, so I didn't push further. Afterwards I backed off to 285 x 6 raw. Could've done a lot more reps if it wasn't for my splitting headache. Arched GM's I did sets of 5 up to 235 x 5 easy enough. Pullthroughs, hypers, ect. done.

Got to try my light bands today for some abs pulldowns. Kicked ass. Just looped one over the top of the power rack and held them on each side of my forehead. Did these standing. Great exercise.

Matt emailed me next week's routine and it has A LOT of banded work..Which makes 0311 happy. I just need some practice to see what I need to do to make these work.
