That GM/Squat sounds really hard. Probably excellent for developing that "hip thrust" though. Impressive weights my friend.

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.

Monday: GPP

Sled Draggging: Forward pulling

90 lbs x 8 trips (200 ft per trip)
- Used my tire on grass today for maximal traction. Basically pull, 30 seconds rest, pull, 60 seconds, repeat.

Sled Draggging: Backwards / Pullthrough pulling

90 lbs x 4 trips (100 ft. per pull)
- Pulled backwards, rest 30, then grabbed the rope between my legs and walked forward (smoked hammies), rest 30, repeat.

Banded Abs Pulldowns: Light bands x 30 reps

ME BENCH

Warmup -

Treadmill - 5 min
Hyper/gluteham - bw x 12
Band Rows - Light x 15
Pushups - 15 (ballistic)
Abs Machine - 15
* rest 30 seconds, repeat *

3 Board Closegrip: 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 5 (added boards), 255 x 3, 285 x 3, 315 x 3, 335 x 1, 360 x 1, 370 x 1 (+15 PR)
- Kept a closegrip about one inch outside the smooth. Last time I barely made 355, so I went for a 5 lb record, then felt great enough for ten more.

4 Board Closegrip: 325 x 5, 5, 5
- 80% of 1 RM. I didn't write it down, but I did 350 x 4 for my first set.. My math was right... For a regular grip LOL, closegrip needed a lot less on there.

Neutral DB Press: 90 x 10, 10, 10, 10, 10
- 90 seconds rest timed.

Face Pulls: 100 x 15, 15, 12, 12

Banded Pressdowns (2 x 25) ss w/ Hammer Curls (2 x 10)

What a coincidence, Ima do 3 boards for ME Bench tonight too!! Just not with 370lbs unfortunately LOL.Congrats on that huge PR.

Thanks. Yeah, 370's a new record for me with a closegrip anyways. I think there's a vid of me using a wider grip for 385x3 floating around. Personally, I'll do every exercise with as close of a grip as possible.

I've been liking the feel of close grip more and more. What do you like about it?

Nice PR btw, thats huge!
