Sorry, i should have also stated that my goals are to increase strength but not get any bigger. I have the size. I would like to be at least as strong as i look LOL. In fact, i would like to be leaner but i need to work on the diet for that.

Nice workout. Good job on the pr's. I would have put some shoulder work in there too, but on the other hand I don't know your routine so maybe you have another day for that.

Slobberknobber-
Actually i did shoulders the day before. I usually would leave a few days in between shoulders and bench but my schedule for this week got kinda screwed up. For shoulders i did standing barbell OHP, hang cleans, upright BB rows and lateral DB raises

Thanks you guys for the positive feedback. Im glad no one made fun of my poundages LOL.

Good job, Smurfy! Looks like you and I are working in the same range. One of the terrific things about this board is that people don't seem to care how much you lift, just that you're lifting.
