I dropped the rack down another notch from last time. Much harder.

I've highlighted my concern How come you used a belt for that set?

I felt like my back was getting really tired and I might injure myself if I didn't. I didn't really want to but I know I push myself really hard and sometimes injuries happen when DLing. And thats probably where the throwy uppy feeling came from. lol

Wow, big improvement here too.

The numbers are a bit of a guess here. Its hard to remember when you have two exercises going at once.
Thoughts
Well doing upper day first in the week makes a really big difference apparently. My upper back had way more power and really helped stabilizing on bench.

Ya, what he said. Lay on the floor on your back and do a skull crusher but not to your forehead. You push the weights back a bit and rest it on the floor between reps. I think I stole that one from Hits! My tris/back are feeling it today. Whoa!

135lb x 5
185lb x 3
225lb x 2

265lb 5x5
I really had to push myself to get this one out. Absolutely burnt after I finished this. I am happy I did it but I really didn't eat well enough today.
Rack Pulls
skipped - couldn't bring myself to do it
Hanging Leg Raises
bw 4x9

I added the dumbells correctly this time. lol
Thoughts
I woke up late and wasn't able to pack a mid morning meal and then my bike ran out of gas on the way home for lunch so I was in a rush again and didn't get to make my mid day meal. 3 meals/ day = not enough for weight lifting.
