Beginning Thoughts:I have started eating 6 meals a day. Some of them are very large meals (over 1000 cals easily) but the smallest is 300-400 cals. So I am getting in a good amount of food to boost my metabolism. Workout:Speed Squats @ 50% of 1RM (325 lbs) = 155 lbs x 2 reps x 10 sets
Rack Pulls from knee caps = 345 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets, 315 lbs x 7 reps x 2 sets
Reverse Lunges with front foot elevated = 25 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets, 25 lbs x 7 reps x 1 set
Cable Wood Chops = 15 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets Overall Impression:Pretty good workout so far. By the end of the workout my abs and my ass were pumped as hell lol....I plan on working out tomorrow (4th day in a row) and then taking 3 days off. Or I might take 2 days off and workout on Thursday next. I dunno right now. I fly back to San Antonio (Texas) on the 22nd or 23rd (haven't finalized my flight as yet) so I am trying to complete 2 or maybe 3 weeks of this phase. Lets see....
In any case, have a good week everyone!

Speed Pin Military Presses @ 55% of 1RM = 90 lbs x 3 reps x 10 sets
Dumbbell Rows = 70 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets, 70 lbs x 7 reps x 2 sets
Dumbbell Push Press = 50 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets, 50 lbs x 7 reps x 1 set
Straight Arm Pull-downs = 45 lbs x 12 reps x 3 sets
Tricep Extensions = 25 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets Overall Impression:
Nice workout
Have a good weekend everyone

You got the weights sitting on some type of blocks for those snatch grips?

No. No blocks. They don't allow me to deadlift off the floor completely in my gym because I "lift too heavy" so I folded two Yoga mats and used them as cushions between the plates and the floor. The yoga mat completely folds in. I was worried that I would be doing these off a block like rack deadlifts but even with the Yoga mats the bar is barely 1 inch off the floor. Add to that the 45 lbs plates in my gym here are smaller than the bumper plates I use at Trinity.

Exactly, Eric. It was supposed to be a few inches off the chest. But since I am doing Military Presses instead of the Bench, I used the same principle and set the bar a few inches off my clavicle. It's at this weird point where the bar is just at my nose (or rather my lower forehead).
