ME DEADLIFT

Warm-ups (7 minutes)

Conventional Deadlift: 425 x 15 x 1
- About 75% of my max. 90 seconds rest. Very loose belt, no straps. I think it's called something like Multiple Exertive Method lol. The straining definately qualifies as a max effort towards the end lol.

Hyper/Gluteham Combo 45 x (3 x 10) ss w/ Banded Leg Curls (3 x 10)
- 90 seconds rest.

Chest Supported Rows: 315 x (3 x 10)
- 90 seconds rest.

Finished up with 2 heavy sets of weighted situps, and 3 sets of 12 leg lifts.

Damn,i bet you cant even bend over right now lol..

It was really easy quite honestly. Even with the 15th set, it went up kinda slow compared to all the others, but at no time was I breathing heavy. My GPP is the best it's ever been.

I also forgot to add I didn't really use my belt either. It was loose enough to where I could take a huge breath in my stomach before it got remotely tight.

ME BENCH

Warm-Ups - 20 minutes

Neutral DB Press - 80 x 15
Pulldowns - 200 x 10
Reverse Hypers - 200 x 10
Abs Pulldowns - 80 x 12
* Rest 30 seconds, repeat for 3 trips *

- Very happy with the warmups. Everything was heavy, but easy enough that I could grab and go without breaking a sweat (until my third trip through lol). Lets see if it affects my workout.

2 Board Closegrip Foam Press: 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 5, 275 x 3, 315 x 3, 345 x 1, 365 x 1, 385-miss
- We have these foam boards that elliminate bouncing by absorbing the bar. I'm ashamed w/ the 385 because I only missed it because I lost tightness off the boards. The 365 went up fast, really fast. Still happy because it's closegrip, meaning I'm in the 400's w/ a regular easily.

Multigrip Bar Press: 225 x 8, 245 x 6, 255 x 6

Supersetted w/

Fat Bar Closegrip Pulldowns: 180 x 10, 10, 10
- 2 min. rest. Used the middle grips w/ the football bar which was tough.

Triceps Pressdowns: 80 x 10, 10, 10

Supersetted w/

Banded Pullaparts: Monsters x 20, 20, 20
- 60 seconds. Used a new attachment today. Looks like an upside down "U".

Nice lifts!
You say you use foam boards to eliminate bouncing.
Is this so you cant use momentum to get the bar back up easier, or to stop the bar changing position to stop screwing up the lift?

More because the foam absorbes the bar so you cannot bounce like you can off the boards.  It is a lot closer of a lift to a regular bench as the bar sinks into your chest.

They have these boards at elite?

Wow, nice couple of workouts Horse.Those Manpon presses sound cool too.

i looked...but did not see.

No, they just got creative at my gym. It's a tough type of fabric that's about a centimeter thick. They cut out a bunch and placed one on top of the other, then duct tape it together nice and tight. So I think when the barbell rests against the tough foam, it gives about 1/2".
