Nice. I have no reply other than to tell you to look up otto on the urban dictionary. Not at work, of course. Co-workers of mine did that Monday. :-S
FWIW, #14 on the pulldowns is all but one plate and it was relatively easy. It was using the crossover cable so it's not really meant for back work... but it's something, I think.

Thursday night's workout. Good news the vibrams make the swiss ball leg curls way easier than normal sneakers. Bad news, my hamstrings are killing me today.
Also looked at both cable machines I used for the A workout... neither has a conversion for # of plates to actual weight. You'll just have to default to cowering.

pop to the bottom and find those 4 - I'm pretty sure one of these is not like the others.
I feel inflexible in the obliques when I go down, so I can't get down very far and push up very fast. It's really weird.
Doesn't feel anything like when I do it with a barbell.
It might be because with the dbs you can keep the weight more overhead and less forward than one usually can with the barbell. That would stretch a bit more, and if you had them closer together than having the hands on the bar.
Let's set up a quick comparison at home and see if there's anything wrong. If not, you prolly want to do as written.

They were less bad Sunday night. I ended up putting the weight more forward on my shoulders, so maybe you're right. Basically having one of the ends of the DB resting on my shoulder rather than trying to have the center of gravity of the DB on my shoulder.
Last night's workout. I had meant to leave the wide grip rows at #7. Wasn't until the 3rd set, after wondering why it was so hard, that I noticed the half plate on the stack. I was already pushing it, I think to "bump" it after the last workout started with one set a notch lower. Next time I'll keep it at 7, especially considering the lowering of the rest period.
I need to work on bridging in general. I haven't been able to get back up to the times I was at in the long, long ago. I might just add some in on off days.

I've decided to break up my plans into three week iterations. One week is too short to see measurable results. A month is too long to "waste" on a plan that isn't working for me.
I started the first iteration Monday. These next 3 weeks are way too hectic at work to try something drastic and new so here are my goals for the next three weeks.
1. Finish reading Precision Nutrition. At least the first time through.
2. Collect a list of all the meals/recipe for the whole iteration.
3. Continue TNT workouts 3x a week.
#2 is to have a database of what I actually eat. Secondary goal is to be able to actually cook for my own damn self when the wifey is too busy with school to do it. There ought to be at least a couple easy and healthy recipes I can make on my lonesome.
Will revisit the next 3 weeks on the 28th the start of my vacation (crossing fingers, knocking on wood lest something go bad at work that requires my attention).
The gist is, I feel like I need to maintain consistency before I try to actually mess with the plan. I have a tendancy to plan everything ahead in crazy level of detail... but then execution is lousy. I'd plan 6 days of workouts a week but might get 2 or 3 on average. Sometimes more, but why feel guilty about three workouts a week just because it's not six? Six is an arbitrary number. I'm going to build up to what I can manage to execute on consistently.
I ended up with only two lifts this past week, and didn't get to post them until just now. Busy week at work, and it's only going to get worse in the couple weeks ahead. I'm still 90% or so compliant on the workout plan (only skipped 2 days so far)... gonna do everything I can to keep it that way despite work.
Hadn't gotten around to posting this earlier... this was Monday night's workout. I cut the warmup short, because I was dragging and it was only slowing me down. I needed to get to the actual workout portion where I was timing rests and just not thinking about stopping 'cuz there's no time to think like that with 30 second rests.
