Sorry guys, I didn't see your posts lol. Yeah, the combo really teaches you to stay tight most of all, not to mention how much it works.. Everything lol. They're great for deadlifts as well because of the full squat involved. The time under tension is obviously a lot longer as well. I did all my reps extremely slowly this time. Next time these come around I'll be looking at the high 3's at a much more comfortable tempo.

I'll probably take out my buffalo bar squats and keep a cambered bar because when it swings the way it does, it's a super tool for keeping you TIGHT through the entire squat which is still a problem for me.

Also, as far as my neutral db pressing before every workout, I'm going to try using a barbell for a while as a change of pace. 2 x 15, closegrip and wide. I LOVE the dumbbells and feel they really help, but it just takes too long. I didn't write it down last night, but I did do three sets w/ the 80's. The problem I have is that last night some shmuck jumped in the cage doing squats while I was dicking around with the dumbbell pressing. So I had to wait him out which made me stay longer in the gym which sucked. It'll be easier doing just two sets cold barbell pressing since it's faster to get done and over with.
