Week 1 of 4-Week Block of Training with no Barbell Post-Meet

Since I'm using a 3-days on, 1-day off split for training over these 4 weeks; I'm going to post twice per week and list all 3 days from my split (Chest/Shoulders/Triceps, Legs, Back/Biceps) so that way you can get a bigger picture perspective on what a training week looks like. My next log I'll also go into how I adjust things for the second half of the week and an update on a few other training items like my sleep and pec/bicep progress from my work with Dani Overcash. Here is the second half of week 1's training post-meet:
