Frank (8/3): Light

Squat
5x45, 5x135, 5x185, 5x225
5x275 @ 7
5x275 @ 7

Barbell Row
5x135, 5x185, 5x225
5x245 @ 8
5x245 @ 8
5x245 @ 8

Military Press
5x45, 5x95, 5x135
5x165 @ 8
5x165 @ 8
5x165 @ 8
Interestingly enough, these are actually easier when I tuck my elbows. Hmmmm...

Pullup
5x50 @ 8
5x50 @ 8
5x50 @ 8

Ab Rollout: 3x5
I cut these a few reps short because my abs were strangely sore, probably from pullups.
Dumbbell Curl: 2x6 @ 50

Also, it always takes me a few days to realize how much I hate full-body workouts. I'm shifting back to an upper/lower split after this Friday, which I will take a bit light. My program will be something like this:

Sunday: Intensity Squat, Volume Deadlifts/Deadlift Assistance, Light Abs
Monday: Intensity Bench, Volume Press, Pump and Tone
Wednesday: Volume Squat, Intensity Deadlifts, Heavy Abs
Friday: Volume Bench, Intensity Press, Pump and Tone

I'll aim to increase the weight a bit every week. Again, this is just a holding pattern until I get more time to train in the fall, after which I'll probably try Sheiko again (or maybe stick with this, if it works).
