Starting Bodyweight: 239 pounds.

Incline Bench Press: 115x 10, 8, 7, 7 reps (5RM - calculates to about 90 LBS 1RM)
Assisted Wide Neutral Grip Chinup (Average Band): sets of 7, 6, 5, 5 reps
Core Engaged Dead Bug (5 sets of 3). This year, I have spent more time than I ever have experimenting with ab movements than I ever have, because I still feel that my abs need to be strengthened up. Getting into the initial position itself lead me to believe that where I was operated on may be a problem: my abs immediately engaged, but my right side burned. As Mike Robertson said in the a recent t-Nation article about this movement, it's harder than it looks.
Finisher:
