Thanks for clearing some of that up, Frank.
PA, they were actually really hard. I just have a way of making everything look easy 
But ya, I'm upping the weight some next week.
Press day - January 21
OH press
165xF - was going for a single. That was a bad idea.
155x2,1
135x5
bentover row
195x6x3
push ups - on floor, got tired of using the blast straps
+70x7,6
NG pulldown
190x6
200x5
side raises with 40s, 35s
rev flys with 35s
curls
pushdowns
Tell me how I can push up my bodyweight (200) plus 70 pounds, but can't bench 215 without leg drive.
I need another way to add weight to push ups. These plates aren't rubber coated like at my old gym, so they slide around on each other. Maybe bands, but I really don't like using a band in the pushup, it doesn't feel right and how do you progress besides adding reps?
There are no chains/I'm not going to buy any. No vests/I'm not going to buy any.
Maybe I'll just ask a pretty girl to sit on my back while I work da gunz
There was something else I wanted to say... oh well.
Oh ya. I have a sheet of rubber that I bought a year or two ago when I was going to make a box for box squatting in my garage. I can bring a small piece of that, and put it in between the plates. Good idea Matthew. You rock.

hmm. could work.. they might still slide around in the bag though. I'll try it out.
deadlift day - January 23
squat
up to 185x5-6
deadlift
365x1
395x1
405x1
rack pull
315x3
405x2
425xF - was going for a single
365x6x2
hanging leg raise 10x2
side bend 80x10x2
FOUR PLATES BITCHES!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!
That felt good. No straps, no belt. Just chalk.
Form was ok, not perfect but not really bad either. Rounded over a bit, that's all.
After that though I was toast. I had wanted to go heavy on the rack pulls but couldn't, so I kept it light and went for reps instead.
I did two things new this week, which I think contributed to the 20lb jump from last week.
First, I stayed tight the whole way down to the bar. Usually I lose a bit of it because I just don't think of it. This time I made sure I had to fight to get down to the bar. That helped a bit.
Second, I did two pulls. What I mean is, when I first grabbed the bar, I pulled really hard on it and really quick, as if I wanted to throw the bar. This didn't last long, it was just a quick thing. Then I started the pull. I think this helped most of all. I'll have to remember this.

Thanks guys! 
I don't know why I thought I could pull it. I mean, 20 pounds in one week?? Unheard of.
But all day yesterday and today I thought to myself "I'm pulling 405".
ha!
I rock.

lol dude, honestly, don't even worry about it. I was just teasing you. I haven't even thought about it until you posted that about the protein powder, I'm not sure why but it just reminded me.
It's all good man. We're square.
uhh.. that means we're even. In case you didn't get that.

I think you'll have a good year or two before we'll need to worry about that.
