For one, my grip is still shot from the DLs, so this wasn't a great or easy day. That said, it felt like a decent workout all the same. I prefer the bent-over row/OHP superset, but I think I can get this superset to work for me. The lifts are really awkward for me. I added in a triceps after the supplemental rep-effort lift to follow in line with Westside's original template a bit more. This is, in part, to increase my bench. The other part is that I feel it'll be useful in the next cycle to be doing some weighted dips. The JM presses are fun, though. I actually failed the eighth rep on the first set, and began resting at the top of the lift for a breath before continuing withe ach rep in the following sets. Worked out better.

Also, I weighed in at 155.6 today. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
