DE Lower Day

GTG Bench 225x1, 225x1, 225x1, 225x1, 225x1
Box Squat 2x5@165 (45% of 1RM) and m.m. bands (45 sec rest)
Deads 1x6@250 (50% of 1RM) and 40 lbs chain (30 sec rest)

Ended up working out a little later than usual due to getting totally sucked into Sons of Anarchy. Decided to just hit the core stuff so my fast would still be on track. Plus, I have been consistent with my morning KB sessions so backing of the other accessory stuff at night is probably ok.

Meals

Breakfast lunch and dinner was pork with collards or kale. Right after work I hit 5 singles of 225 on the bench.

Meals/ME Upper

First workout after the meet, here is what I am changing.
I am forgoing my upper ME lift and instead "greasing the groove" everyday with 225 on the bench. This means I will be doing between 1 and 7 reps of 225 on the bench everyday. I was really hoping to hit 265 this weekend and I think I need a different approach if I am going to get 275 come Dec 3rd. My deadlift went up so I am guessing that side of my training is working out well. Also in the morning I am doing light turkish get ups and practicing some kettlebell stuff. Nothing super intense, just 5 to 10 mins of incredible focused get ups (not counting reps) and 2 to 4 sets of between 5 and 10 reps of the KB snatch, clean and swing. The idea is to get some more low intensity stuff in that will add to the weight loss but not hurt my recovery. So, todays training.

Bench 225x1, 225x1, 225x1, 225x1 (I am deciding volume by feel) 2 mins rest
Incline DB Bench 45# 13, 11, 9, 8 (1 min rest)
KB row 70# 10, 7, 6 (1 min rest)
Side bends 55# 3 straight mins alternating sides every 10 reps

That was the first time I tried side bends, not a fan. I feel like I am doing it wrong.

Meals- Today, same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner; collards and roast pork. So begins the second giant pork tenderloin I purchased!
