First off, my chest workout was ok this week... I did a variation of the 5x5... it was more a 4x5 on flat... and then incline, I got 225x4 ... which is good... to get 225 at all with my injury. But other than that... nothing standout.
Legs --
Front Squats -- warmup bar, 135x10
185x8, 225x5, 225x5, 265x2
Zercher Squats -- warmup bar, 135x10
185x10, 205x7(pr), 225x4 New PR!! I was excited about this... about how well it went up... and how LOOOW I got (low on the fronts too)... I think my form is really coming together on my squats.
Stiffy-Deads
185x10, 225x10, 275x5
No leg curls... I was spent...
Standing calf raises Stack+45 for 3 sets of 30 reps -- I upped my reps this week... I tried to go for those 80 rep sets someone was talking about... but with my squeeze at the top and ROM... it was difficult... I could have maybe squeezed out 31-35 on the first set... but getting to 30 on the last two was a feat.
Abs -- kneeling rope pulldowns x3, side cable x3

Funny thing is... my disks have been hurting me less and less the more I have been doing deadlifts and bar rows... I think I have substantially strengthened my back... if that is possible.

C-Ditty,
Go ahead and post your chest workout. Are you training for bodybuilding, strength, or all the above?

Yeah, my disks are compressed... I take it real easy... the main thing that aggrevates them is wrestling... LOTS of hard bumps and landings that really wear and tear it down. 
I'd like to think I'm training more for bodybuilding, but I also want to gain more strength... I think, with what I'm doing... I am accomplishing both.

Great workout man. Good to hear you are strengthening up your back. Keep it up man. 
It wasn't too long ago you were not squatting, benching, or deadlifting...
I am proud.

b fold the truth said:
Yeah... I learnd proper front squat form, deadlift form, and the benching form... it has helped my workouts 10 fold... especially after I injured my knee and leg press hurt to do anymore...
CCJ -- yeah, I use a sweatshirt to put on the bar... and I still get red marks and rub marks from the bar
I think I saw a girl cringe a bit after I got done doing 205 because one of my arms wasn't totally "covered" by the sweatshirt and looked like it was going to bleed C-ditty
