9/5/11 and 9/6/11- Starting Fresh

Alright, now that I have a bit more time on my hands, I hope to be posting a bit more regular.
Training is going to look like this:

Monday- ME Bench
Tuesday- ME Squat
Wednesday- Back- Bi's-Abs-Drag
Thursday- DE Bench
Friday- DE Squat
Saturday- Same as Wed.

9/5/11
ME Bench
3 rep max- 1 second pause on chest
Worked up to 315 for 2 sets x 3

3 Board
315 x 8
355 x 6

Tri Extension off floor w/ EZ Bar
3 x 8-10

Lat Raises
3 x 10-12

Neutral, Fat Grip Pull Downs
3 x 10

The 1 second pause kicked my ass. My plan is to do all ME work with a pause for awhile. It sure as hell makes things harder, but might be what I need to finally get by bench moving.

9/6/11
ME Squat
Giant Cambered Bar- Free Squats 3 reps
Worked up to 415 for 2 x 3

Good Morning w/ Giant Cambered Bar
4 sets x 8 Worked up to 285

GHR's
3 x 8 with 25# plate

Bent Over Rows
3 x 8 (225)

Trap Bar Shrugs
3 x 10

I will be doing all of my ME work raw except for planned gear days at the end of training cycles. I am not quite used to free squatting raw yet, first time in a long time today. I feel like trying something a little different since this is just general training for me right now. I have no plans to do any meets right now and just want to focus on getting my absolute strength up and putting on some mass. I think that this new template is the right way to go but we'll see.
