I had a slight revelation while training today. I sat down and thought, the training program that Steve and I are undergoing is a 10 sets of 3 program with approx 85% of our former 1RM. We do 10x3 on our main effort day and our triceps day, so, why shouldn't we do it for our back day as well? Picking a lat exercise and doing 10x3 with it using some sort of resistance (bands, chains, etc) an doing 10x3 could only help us. I know, I see 8 sets of 12 for some exercises which is great, but all of our 8 sets of 12 that I've seen us do in the past is for our upper back. I believe a heavy dose of lat work in some sort of 10x3 (barbell/dumbbell/chest supported rows) would greatly increase our speed off the chest and help us push our bench past new limits.

I wont be doing any triceps work this week as I've had a little battle with food poisoning but a couple extra days of rest couldn't exactly hurt could it? Really looking forward to doing band floor presses on Thursday!
