Nice lifting Chris, good DL's mate. How did the 340 feel? Touch & go or single reps?

I find single reps harder, but IMO for powerlifting they're a lot more beneficial and valuable than touch & go style pulling.

Thanks MF. Single reps. Just long enough to get a fresh belly full of air and re-grip. I haven't experimented with touch and go style pulling. I thought it might serve as an accessory to my DLs during a future workout.

I love Farmers walks, that's some heavy dumbbells though. I normally use the 60-70's for about 80-100m.

Nice training Chris, keep smashing it up.

Back Extension with 15# Vest & 12lb. DB behind neck): x10, x10, x10

This was a decent amount of work for me. Was really feeling it all over the legs as I left the gym. Squats felt pretty decent. My meathead math kicked in when I jumped from 45 to 135 in the warm-up sets, haha, but no harm done.

Thanks MF. I have been increasing the weight when my first set exceeds 1 minute. The grip work is for my deadlift. I figure that in a competition, I won't ever be holding the bar that long, so I'd just increase the weight and keep the time low. I have no idea if this correct or not, but we'll see if I can obtain benefit from it.

Overhead Press: 45x5, 55x5, 65x3, 85x2, 105x5, 110x3, 125x1 (was going for 2 per the program, just missed lockout)
Seated DB Press: 50x6, 50x4, 45x7
Z Press: 45x5, 65x5
DB Raise (Side, Front, Rear circuit): 25x5/5/5, 25x5/5/5, 25x5/5/5
Bench Press: 45x5, 95x5, 115x3, 145x5, 145x5, 145x5
Close-Grip Bench w/ Pause at Bottom: 127.5x3, 127.5x3, 127.5x3
Dips w/ 15#Vest & 40#Chains: x8, x5, x10 (Vest only)

I tried the Z Press and liked it. I just did enough to get my feet wet. Next week, I'll try it and take video for technique feedback. I concentrated on keeping my hamstrings on the ground and pushing off of them instead of my butt (and there was no leaning back). I was thinking I'll do sufficient weight to keep my reps in the 5-8 zone, does that sound right?
