Nautilus Nitro Bench Press (215): 50x3, 65x3, 80x3, 100x3, 125x3x8. Good speed on these. Like I said before, since I don't have chains or bands to accomodate resistance, this will do nicely.
Hoist Neutral Grip Chins (165: BW was 242.5 lbs today): 165x3x2, 180x2x2, 180x1. The 165 was tough. The first set of 180 was alright but not as high as I would want, the second I only got one rep. The last 180 was a drag. I'm no longer using the Add 50 program after this. I've gotten stronger, but the gains are slowing and my explosiveness is non-existent. Fatal flaw! Need to think of something for next cycle, but I have ideas.
Rack Pulls 2" Below the Knees (385): 90x6, 120x5, 150x5, 180x5, 210x5, 240x5, 290x5x3. Used a double overhand grip until I started the 290s. On the first set, I got wussy and put on gloves: I struggled to hold on to the bar with a staggered grip, the gloves felt unnatural so I took them off for the next two sets. This workout went solid. I worked really hard but I didn't feel that drained afterwards. It's all lighter weight from here.
T-Bar Rows (157): 75x10, 105x3, 115x5x2. Tough because the rack pulls took it out of me.
Since I had done the heavy benches yesterday and speed benches today, I did no tricep extensions or dumbbell shoulder presses.

Gloves? You mean you don't like the hand-shredding feeling of rack pulls? :)
I'm almost ashamed to mention it . . . LOL!!!
That's sick, Stinn . . . he doesn't REALLY do that does he?
