I had a girlfriend who had the gorilla build and all she did was eat a lot of cake, so maybe I'll try that.

AB... here's why...
BiggT-Unit... I've hit 405x1 for DL in the past month (took forever to lock out... but I did it) and 405x2 was a PR for me this past winter. Have not been DLing conssitantly... I don't want to be too conservative with that (I think i'll be able to bump those numbers alot) so plugging 405x1 into the excel spread you think would be just fine for my general outline?

Sarge, I know you got the K message, but for anyone who was wondering, yeah, I suggested 405 as a good 1rm for him to plug in.
Trained today, a little change from my plan, but I will explain what I am doing for August at the end.
First, a story Proto will appreciate, on the way to the gym, I swung into the McDonald's drive-thru (NOT for food, lol) and got an iced coffee. I drove up the road about 2 miles or so to the gym and slammed the coffee. By the time I got to the gym, I was overcome with an intense yet quiet focus and great energy and concentration.....all for a dollar-something cup of cold coffee, lol.
Alright, to the workout....
Flat Bench: 135x10, 225x5, 300x5, 350x1, 385x1, 405x1 (happy at this point), 425x1 (blasted this up and tied my lifetime PR), 455x splat (lol, I got too greedy here and I thought 4 plates and a quarter per side just looked cool and I let my handoff guy, who was excellent by the way, pump me up a little too much and I was really thinking I was a lot stronger than I actually am, I took my handoff and the weight felt absolutely ridiculous, I lowered it all good, but I knew it wasn't coming back up, and it didn't budge.....I probably should have gone to 440 or so or even 435 to be safe if I really wanted to hit it, but fuck it, I am pleased enough with the 425)....finished off with 335x9
Standing Strict Behind the neck press: 185x5, 195x5, 205x5, 210x5, 215x5 (I did 2 sets at 215 last time, but after all the benching, I was more than satisfied with this)
Incline Dumbell Press: 100'sx12, 12, 8 (again, not QUITE as good as last time, but benching considered, I feel all is well)
And, to ruin a manly day in the weightroom.....Dumbell Skull Crushers: 55'sx 3 sets of 8 (WOW, if somebody blindfolded me and told me this was a pair of 80 pounders, I would have believed them, thats how freaking heavy these felt by this point in the workout....so like I always say, if anybody thinks that pressing isn't good 'triceps' work, they aren't pressing right, lol).
Weighed in at 253lbs....snapped a shitty post workout pic that I will get up here tonight or tomorrow.
My plan for August is to practice what I preach and fight the urge for variety to derail my progress, I'd rather be really good (for me) at a few things than be a jack of all trades and a master of none. I am going to train for a big flat bench, power snatch, olympic back squat, and behind-the-neck jerk or press or whatever the hell allows me to get more weight overhead than I ever have. Tomorrow is power snatches, squats, and some assistance work in the form of some type of pulling. If anybody wants a rough outline of what my August will look like, I'd be glad to share.
