That's the way it should be Matt, so long as you don't spend too much time w/ it.

Yesterday concluded my first week back in strength.. Best COMPLETE week of lifting I've EVER had. Motivation was 100% all four days in the gym, rest/sleep was maximized, and stress was very low.

I got 5 easy sets of DB presses with the 125's which presents the problem of figuring out what I should do for next week since those are the heaviest we've got? Gotta give Wes a call on that one. I slowed down the tempo with a much longer negative between reps, but it's not enough. My guess would be either more reps, faster rest periods (120 vs 150 seconds), or both. I was thinking about incorperating my bands w/ the DB's for more top end tension. We shall see.

Yesterday I started doing some banded dips and they were pretty f'ing tough to fight through. Only one light band this time, but with my dip bar being so high, it had killer tension. I DID try using both bands, but the placement was too far forward of my position and was too much tension to fight through without being torpedo'd forward.

Overall I'm hoping this continues through this week.
