*much better than last week
*1.5 reps on the bench certainly hit the chest pretty hard, shall see if that translates to a bigger overall bench.

Comments.
*Had to change to Tuesday night due to my daughters concert tonight.
* Deads felt much better this week, so i decided to stop at 120kg, just to get my form right, it wasnt perfect but felt alot better.
*Squats unsupported were pretty hard, i probably got to parallel, on most attempts.
*Good mornings still dont feel fantastic, but i upped the weight without much problem.
*Stuck with fairly light weights for the shrugs seeing as though my traps were sore from last nights upperbody session. Did the shrugs and grippers as a non stop circuit, my forearms were dead by the end of it.
*Damn deadlifts make me hungry the next day.
*Looking forward to a night off.

* wide grip bench has been good and Im getting much more focus on my chest which I need.
*Lateral Raises suck, not sure there much help at all.
*CG Benched the same reps and weight as my widegrip bench, do I have weak chest or strong tris??
*HLR are coming along nicely, got my feet up and touched the bar I was hanging from a number of times, my abs hurt today.

You've got an awesome log
What do you think about WSSBII? I think after I get my totals I might do a switch over to this one.

Thanks Gobbla, Im glad you like my Log
WSFSB is an awesome program and I would recomend giving it a try.
I have tried alot of programs like everyone else (NROL, BOM, HGM etc.)
but they never had the consistency I was after.
What I like about wsfsb is that it is really just a template to work too
instead of being a specific 6-8 week program that you work through and then need to find something else to do.
I really feel that this will be the basis of what I continue to do in the gym for a long time.
Thanks for stopping by
Mark

Actually you could be o.k, do you have relatively long arms? because I do and my widegrip and close grips are usually very near each other, though i personally don't do a ton of wide grip because I tend to get more out of DB pressing with less shoulder stress. I think it's hard to say one is weaker than the other, instead consider where in a max effort lift do you stick? Bottom=chest needs more work, mid to top=shoulders and triceps.
my 2 cents, Ned

Thanks for stopping by Ned,
My ME Bench gets stuck at the bottom, and I use a fairly narrow grip, thats why I was trying to incorporate the wide grip bench and DB presses in, to get some more work in for my chest.
I will switch back from incline to flat bench as my ME lift in a few weeks, we shall see if it has made a difference.

Comments.
* Wasnt prepared to push the 85 on the inc bench, I might still be stuck there all alone.
* Rows at 60kg felt light, I must be getting stronger
* Leg lifts send a tingle through my post. chain, hopefully they help with activating my ass properly.

* Good Mornings are feeling alot better too.

Forgot to add
This concludes this 4 week block, and 8 weeks on the WSFSB program. I will take next week of from our regular scheduled programming and probably do some different stuff, I can here my gloves and heavy bag calling me names, might have to teach it a lesson.
Also if anyone has seen Chad Waterbury's Blood on the barbell article he
has some interesting complexes which should be pretty challenging as a change of pace.
I plan on taking some measurements and bf% sometime this weekend to see how things are progressing.
At this stage im planning on hitting my legs twice a week and being a bit more focussed on ab work for the next 8 weeks. See if I can get some strength and size in them (my legs).
Havent figured out the details yet.
Till then.
