			Heavy back today, T-bars, Bent over rows, pullups, cable rows, pulldowns, dumbbell rows.....I looked like I showered with my clothes on by the end. Just 3 more workouts before I take 5 days off for a mini-vacation, so I plan to make them count.

			Went in and did a very short easy leg workout today.  Thank God for the smith machine, so I only have to use one hand on the bar. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Mark, a second opinion on Oahu or even LA might be in store.

			So... quick little poll... do you prefer bench pressing a) all the way down to the chest (or off by only an inch-ish) or b) until your upper arms are parallel to the ground?  I've heard so much different stuff including, from a personal trainer: "90* counts as a full rep" and "beyond 90* is where injuries happen"... from other people I've heard that just doing 'partial reps' is a way to hurt yourself... is this question going to get the same array of responses as a question like 'which cigar is the best ever'?

			I go to just a tad parallel at this point in my life, Dan. Below that takes much of the stress off the chest muscles and puts it on the shoulders, tendons, etc.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I used to bury the bar like is necessary for a competition lift, but I find I get better development keeping constant tension on the muscle I am targeting. .

			I am like Tom, I do not let the bar touch my chest. I go short of it, I find it when I do let it go that far down, I stress too much on shoulder and not enough on my chest.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			And Tom, my hotel in Redding. Not in LA. I'll be here till tomorrow afternoon. Think I will take tonight off though, may be meeting up with a local for a cigar.
