Congrats on the triple, and good call on ditching the running shoes.
Are you still aiming to add ~.5 pounds per week while on WSB?

Congrats, RipStone. You weren't pulling your PR with your neck twisted looking at the window to the side of you, were you? 
djeclipse- thanks man. I am glad to see PRs too 
AB- well thats the thing. I was doing DLs with my neck turned 45* to the left. But, while I was doing them my favorate trainer told me my form looked excellent, but maybe next time I should do them with a full 90* "Exorcist" head spin! I KID, I KID!!

I can't help but think that deadlifting a PR weight with your head turned to one side isn't going to do your spine any favours.
Westside, Monday, Week 2: ME Upper Body
-ME lift: medium grip paused bench press;
-bar x12 (warmup)
-85x5
-100x5
-120x3
-135x3
-150x3
-165x3
-180x3----> PR!! (feeling real strong today on these, so since everyone in the room looked rather, well, not 'spotter worthy', I just went ahead and did these solo. I fucking raped them! I felt like I had another 3 reps left in reserve. BTW, these was the same weight as last week where I struggled to lock out the 3rd rep...and didnt.)
one-handed DB rows:
-80s x4x7 (like I said in my orginal plan, I am undulating the assistance rep/set schemes. this week is 7x4. all sets well short of failure, but still got a good pump going...if thats means anything?)
30* DB press:
-80s x4x7 (the first few reps were a littls shaky just cus I am not used to using DBs, especially heavier DBs. Needless to say, I got all my reps in without reaching failure for any set. )
standing rope face pulls:
-30 x 12x3 (I didnt use 7x4 for these cus I read in a WS article that you should do face pulls using 10-15 reps. So I used the same weight as last week, but did 2 more reps for each set.)
additional comments: good workout this morning. mental intensity wasnt all there, but I still met all my goals. also, I rested 90-120secs inbetween supplemetary work. Kinda got the idea Chad Waterbury's 10x3...)
