Thanks guys
DE Bench day: Strong as fuck. Increased for banded speed bench and used 215 (9 x 3) + Light bands choked around the base of the powerrack and a 50 lb DB. I was a little slower in the beginning than I would've liked so I'll keep this weight for the next few. Next week I'm going to advise Matt that I want to start incorperating some 5 x 5 Bench on my speed days just to mix it up. Great article I read on this somewhere over at elitefts, essentially doing a few speed days, then a 5 x 5, then possibly a few sets of speed before building up to a 1 RM. So that's on the table for me.
Push presses were balls deep today! My old PR was shattered. Matt told me in an email that my push presses need to be increased BIGTIME. He made a lot of sense. My old PR was 225 x 3 push pressing, yet my STRICT standing military pressing was at 205 (3 x 5). I should be a lot higher. SO, I ended up nailing 255 x 3! It felt light as fuck too. Easily could've gone heavier. I think I fucked up in the past because I wasn't explosive enough like I was today. So next week my goal is to nail 275 + for a 1 RM.
Riding the power of my new PR, I nailed both sets of 10 incline DB press with the 110's ss w/ weighted pullups (30 lb DB). I basically increased every exercise by at least 10 lbs. Chest supported rows I increased to 3 plates and a 25 per side for 3 x 10.
I don't think it was no coincidence that I started taking 50 grams of waxy maize again PREworkout along with 3 scoops of EAA's. Especially for me waking up and lifting within a half hour, I'm usually gassed. The EAA's helped out a lot, but I was still running low on strength towards the end of my workouts. The waxy maize combined with the EAA's threw me in hyperdrive and I've never felt more powerful from beginning to end.
