*back felt strong through out the lift... really need to start doing cardio again
*only going to be focusing on bench and Deadlift for the time being...

Split will look something like:
Deadlift + Accessory Work
Bench + Accessory Work
Box Squat (light)/Legs

Nice simple workout - I bet you will be strengthening your back tremendously with that split. You noticed that you are getting thicker? - I bet so. Keep it up Milky!

The thing is, my deadlift used to be in the 550 range before I fucked up my back, so I haven't noticed all that much growth. I am working a lot on my upper back recently and I can tell the difference for sure.

It's sad to say but I may be laying off any heavy squatting or deadlifting because my back was bothering me the day after I deadlifted.

Bench Press 225/5, 250/3, 275/1, 315/1, 325/1 (little bit of help on the lock out)
CG 2 Board Press 225/10, 245/6, 265/3
V-Bar Pushdowns 110/25, 130/20, 150/12

*Changing from more traditional BBing to PLing had been very interesting in a few regards... My strength curve has changed dramatically... 250 for 3 felt heavy as hell whereas 315 for a single felt really light and the 325 for one didn't feel like anything too much to handle either. Had my diet, rest, and energy been on par, I would have been able to put up more for sure.

I know what you mean a change in strength curve. For me it's most pronunced on squats. Even with baby weight I'll struggle to get above 8 reps. But 3-5 reps feel like no prob, no matter the weight.

Sorry to hear your still having issues with the back, that sucks it really sounds like a psiatic nerve. Does the pain run from your back through your hammy sometimes and maybe make your foot tingle or feel a little numb?

Your w/o's still look great and thanks for the tip's on the Arimidex etc....

I thought it was that too, but it seems like its just aching and stiff all the time... I'm going to have to just rest it a lot and hopefully it will rehab well. If not, then I don't know what I'm going to be doing going forward.
