Workout:
Incline press: 235#x4 245#x1 250#x1 255#x1 260#x1 225#x5
I am going to do 5x5 next week, but back the weight down to 230# and make sure I can easily do it for 5x5 M-W-F before I increase the weight again.
Cable curl: 100#x5x5x5x5x5
Superset (Concentration curl, Bradford Press and Triceps pushdown:
Concentration curl (drop set)40#/30#/20#: x10x10x8
Bradford Press:140#x5x5x6
Triceps Pushdown: 150#x12x10x8
Rack-pull: 520#x3 540#x3 560#x3
I am still getting used to these, so I don't think i will be making real strength gains until I get over 600#.

I'd like to hear more about your theory about the relationship between glycogen levels and bicep measurements. I think you are on to something. Since I went to maintenance calories, my arms have gained half an inch.
You talk about it here:

And you mentioned it in a comment on my blog too here:

I am not surprised. Glycogen is going to increase your muscle size because of all the water associated with it increasing the volume of your muscle "puffing" them up. Carb loading is an important part of contest prep for bodybuilders:

They have to get rid of the subcutaneous water while retaining as much water in the muscles as possible. If not properly carb loaded the muscles appear 'flat".
