Training 9/4 & 9/6

After hitting 190 on Thursday, I decided the "cut" was over. 190 was kind of my line of demarcation - either I would get to a point I was happy with, or 190. Once I hit either one, it was time to start working my way back up. Thus, here is the "final" pic, along with the starting one again for reference:

2-3-14 - 222 pounds

9-4-14 - 190 pounds

Consistency and staying the course. Admittedly, if I had done that from the beginning, I'd have likely gotten there sooner. But alas.
In any event, I will start working my way back up, attempting to add muscle with as little fat as possible. For the time being, I will be using some DoggCrapp-inspired rest-pause training (modified for higher reps), an idea taken from James Smith's training log over at EliteFTS from a while back. The general setup of a set is that each rep is performed with a slow, controlled eccentric, with an explosive concentric. I try not to rest at all between reps. Once you reach basically failure, stop and take 7 deep belly breaths, go again until basically failure, stop and take 10 deep belly breaths, and hit one final set. Therefore, I will simply note reps + reps + reps to indicate the 3 sets. I don't have my log right in front of me so I don't remember exactly what I got for reps on all of them, but most are right and the others are damn close.

Thursday (pull)
Neutral-grip chinups - 13+4+3
Deadlifts - dead stop each rep (straight set, no particular tempo) - 315x8
Cambered bar bicep curls - 60 pounds - 15+4+4
DB wrist extension - 15s - 1x35
DB wrist curls - 15s - 1x35
Chest-supported rear delt flyes - 5s - 1x30

Saturday (push)
Close-grip bench - 185 - 13+3+3
Lateral raises - 10s - 1x30
DB flyes - 50s - 15+4+4
Breathing squats - 225 - 1x20
Face pulls - 1x50

I will perform ab/rotator cuff/neck work on non-lifting days 2-3x per week.
