ThanX for the encouragement brother!! Its nice to be back!! Luckily, deadlifts are easy for me to maintain and I can miss weeks of doing them and get back pretty quick. Chest is completely different. I lose my chest size and strength at a rediculous rate. I may be back in a few weeks, or months depending on how quick I progress. I was able to hit 315 for 3 reps on my 8th set last week and an easy 335 on my 9th set I believe. My best was 315 for 7 reps when I was fresh (3 warm-ups only). So I only seem to be a few reps off on my bench. The thing is, I was stuck at 315x4 on the flat bench for a full year, before I took the NO2 and increased 3 reps in a month. Hopefully Ill be able to break through and hit 7 and on my way to 10 reps soon. I was also getting 275x15, havent tested that yet though. Im still doing the 5X5 routine along with some added volume. 285 is this week, it should be easy. ThanX again brother!!

600x20

Not bad but man beast how come no squating even a hack squat on the sled are useful

ThanX brother!! I havent been trying squats lately cuz of that pinch in my spine area. It seems when I rest the bar in that area the pain comes back. Im sure Ill be able to do them eventually, just dont want to mess up my back again. Hack squats I can do though. Maybe Ill throw them in this week for legs. ThanX again brother!
4-29-04 Thursday Chest
I figured I would save speed bench for sunday when I do inclines. I did 15 sets of flat benching, followed by 5 sets of cable flies and finished with a set of push-ups for a total of 21 sets of chest. I completed the 5X5 with 285, and it definately felt slightly heavier then last week. I think I definately have 300 in me for a 5X5, and hopefully Ill get there without any sticking points. I was sick yesterday also, but still managed to hit it hard. I am slowly getting back though. I also hit 340x1 as my 9th set. It may not be too long before Im back again. Hopefully within a few weeks, but only time will tell. Heres the routine:
Bench Press:
135x20
225x12
5X5 Routine:
285x5
285x5
285x5
285x5
285x5
315x3
340x1
345 (fail)
345 (fail)
345 (fail)
315x1
275x6
225x14
Cable Flies:
80 (per side) x15
110x15
120x15
130x8
140x5
30 push-ups to failure
