Actually not one bit, i stretched really good after my workout and had 2 scoops of my protein shake right after my workout at the gym. So that helped a alot. Last week's back workout i was pretty sore though. It was a great workout, i'm really liking these elevated deadlifts.

Was talking to a guy at my gym last night and asking him how he got to his 315 bench mark. Surprised me that he said it only took him about 3 or 4 months after he go up to 225 on the bench. So i'm going to try his advice tonight.

He said dividing the movements really helped him. Like doing 8 or 10 reps from the bottom to half way up, or from the top of the motion and going half way down. Work on getting stronger in those areas. Then on DB chest presses use different grips, like turning your palms inward (neutral grip as some say) which is what i already do some days.

So i'm going to try that tonight and see what kind of effect i get. Creating my routine now.
