A. BB row - 5x5@154 120s R1
B. Face pulls - 3x10@90 90s RI
C. DB shoulder press - 2x10@80 120s RI

Boy my lower back is sore today, MUCH worst then yesterday. I will have to move the BB rows to my other upper day, simply because they put alot of stress on my lower back. This is the second week in a roll i had very bad DOMS in my lower back from ME lower body day.

I also done a few shoulder presses, feels pretty good i think bench is harder on my injury actually.

I feel a minor pull at 325 put still finished off with 308 to get my 3lifts at or over %90 of my1RM each session. I tried some light pullthroughs but decided to wait later on in the day and see how i felt. Will my lower back is strained alittle bit but i hurt it much worst in the past. I should be good to go next session.

Aug 2nd

A. Pulldowns - 2x5@190 120s RI, 4x5@180 90s RI
B. Face pulls - 3x12@90 60s RI
C. Narrow BP - 3x12@143 120s RI

Seems my pulldown gains have stopped will have to switch up the set/rep scheme next week and my hand positioning.

Narrows are da bomb - my triceps get pretty swole after i do them. I have compeition bench press now and its much easier to unrack with a narrow grip.
 
August 4th'

Speed box squat - 10x2@209 60s RI

Well i've gotten better with the bar speed. I started to push my stomach out into the belt before i squated and it made me come up quicker. Go figure.

Passed on the assessory work because i still have minor discomfort in my back. I believe its because i slacked back on my light cardio. I find 10-20min 3-4 per week really keep me loose and less injury prone. Well have to get back to the hamster training. :D
 
I forgot to pass on fillin' the belly with air and pushin' into the belt. Looks like you're training is coming along nicely...you'll get speedier as you go. :)

And is that a front squat I saw earlier? You know you can't front squat when using a PLing program ;)
