I am gonna add the close-grip declines back into my training(like Wade showed me!!) because I feel they help give me pushing power for flat bench espeacilly when I arch. I mean in Multi-Ply gear I hit my best lifts and made the most gains training this way. So why can I not taper it to give me the same gains in the less extreme gear also? Also I have to take into account that I have lost 20lbs since I started eatting better, so that has to have an affect on strength!!

Mon- Bench
Tue- Squats
Wed- Aux(very light, active recovery mainly)
Thu- Declines
Fri- Deadlifts
Sat- Aux(same as Wed, only lighter) or rest

Good for you. I don't always post in here, but I do follow along. I've noticed you haven't seemed happy in a while, so in addition to being good for your lifts, you'll probably be more motivated heading into the gym too.

Rock on G. Good luck at the meet.

Thanks, yeah I tend to get extremely depressed when I get overtrained. I'm at the point to where I should know when to back off from the weights a bit, but like I said I am hardheaded lol.

Yeah I got 6 more training weeks for the meet. So I'm gonna try to be in the shirt weekly until then, and then I'll get out of all of the gear and work on my raw strength to build my body up.
