			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I had a dynamic effort day.  It went something like this:</p>
<p><strong>DE Bench </strong>- 95 x 3 x 3, 115 x 3 x 6</p>
<p>*this was perform with a mini band doubled around the bar and band peg.  I use 3 different grips when doing speed bench.  Close grip, thumb from smooth and pinky on the ring are my grips and I do a set of each then repeat.</p>
<p><strong>Accessory Work</strong></p>
<p><strong>1a. DB Bench Press</strong> &#8211; 50&#215;6,65&#215;3, 75&#215;20, 75x 8,8,12 * couple extra reps this week.</p>
<p><strong>2a. Fat Grip Pullups</strong> &#8211; BW x 8,8,8,8</p>
<p><strong>2b. DB Power Cleans</strong> &#8211; 20&#215;15,15,15</p>
<p><strong>3a. Band Pushdowns</strong> &#8211; Monster mini x 25 x 3</p>
<p><strong>3b. Iso-Hold DB Curls</strong> &#8211; 15 x 15ea. x 2</p>
<p>* This week I used the Tyler Grips which are fat rubber handles to put over the bar.</p>
<p><strong>Cardio </strong>- I walked the treadmill for 30 minutes at an incline of 8 and a speed of 3.4,  I really do this to keep myself loose and get some recovery work for my hamstrings.</p>
