Workout Notes:
Great workout. Totally kicked my ass compared to my previous split routines. After reviewing my lift numbers I had no business on a split routine. Hopefully joining this site will help me progress in the right direction.

Workout Grade:
B+

Improvements:
Conditioning, conditioning, and conditioning. This workout really pushed me to the max. My Squat was fantastic considering it was nearly ATG, my BoR was lighter than normal but the explosive movement felt great (alot of room for improvement here), the DB Military Press was good however I used my legs a tab bit to much. This brings me to my bench press. I have never inclined benched before with a BB. I have no idea why I can’t bench more than this. I can incline DB 70’s… I guess its a technical issue. I may get a video up for critique so you big monsters can laugh at my puny bench presses. Anyway, see you guys tomorrow.
