****ty max effort day last time i did dumbells monday i wanna hit the 130 x 3
 
Looks good in here, your lockout may be shakey on the sumos bc of foot placement and the pressure on the hips not being able to fire right. I wouldnt max on db press either. In the westside barbell book of methods they use db presses for RE work inplace of ME work. Otherwise maybe do sets of 5.

your probably right my hips have always been my weakness take forever to stretch them to be able to squat so im sure that the issue im trying my best to keep them loose and strengthen them. As far as Db press i know westside doesnt reccomend them too a max i use them for RE day, and sometimes instead of deloads ill do a 3-5 rep db max, got greedy and went for 135s last time worlds of difference 20 lbs on Dumbells make

thats it alot of Hytrophy work my goal is to get the main lifts done and focus on conditioning and hytrophy work seems to work well and not hurting my strength gains...

**** all the bodybuilder pump looking stuff never affects my recovery, and i use it more of a way to keep the heart rate up achieve a pump before i go on to do the little bit of cardio i do, if it ever effects me ill change the movements or cut it out and add more pure cardio... This will probably be it might do about 45 minutes cardio tommorow and call it till saturday when i max out on squats.
