I took the day off work yesterday so I didn't have time to post. I didn't work out this morning, so I'm posting up yesterday's workout.

deadlift:
I've decided to start working my regular stance pulls along with sumo. I actually felt stronger with my regular stance. I switched stances every other set.

135 x 8
225 x 6
275 x 5
315 x 4
365 x 3
365 x 3
365 x 3

3 sets of heavy leg press

...some more lower body assistance work...

Bench (Raw(this got interesting))
225 x 10
275 x 8
295 x 6
315 x 4 (light spot on last two)

Felt good to double 315 clean. I feel like I'm finally getting throught that 6 plate mental block.

Did some DB bench and flys and some more tri assistance work.
When we finished the workout on paper, I broke out the three board press and talked Wes and Louis into giving it a shot for some close grip bench. We all became believers and decided it would be very wise to regularly work these into the program.

Close grip bench (three board)
Index finger on smooth part of bar
315 x 4
315 x 6

I thought my tris were going to explode. Knarly.

That's awesome, dude. i gotta say that i still have that 6 plate mental block going on. So i just use 26 ten lb. plates. And sometimes, just to look good for the ladies, i use those rubber plates the size of F-1 racing slicks. i have to bring my own to the gym with me, but i think it's cool to bring one's own weights. And generally my target audience is impressed when i do a couple sets of 75 or so with what appears to be just over 2,000lbs. ;)

Oh hey, i ordered those knives yesterday. They ought'a be good 'uns.
