Chest workouts
CT stated that 5-star chest workouts don't work for some people.  I seem to be one of those.  I did have a lot of pec soreness my first week or so on 5-star, but that is probably because I had not benched in years.
Due to the fact that I can barely make it through the bench workouts, I am going to transition my training to the following:
Day 1:  5-star Squats & OHP
Day 2:  5-star Deadlift
Day 3:  Chest A & back
Day 4:  off (no lifting, running/cardio)

Day 4:  5-star Squats & OHP

Day 5:  Chest B & back

Day 6:  off
Day 7:  off

Yes, I will only be hitting deads once per week.  But the dual squat & back workouts should make up for it.  I am still performing OHP before chest, as it fits well with the squats.  And the squat workout is the most energetic cycle I have.

On off days I will perform at least some cardio.  Bike, running, etc.

Chest workouts will be based on HSS-100, which I have had great success with before

Mag10
BioTest's Mag10 seems really nifty, but expensive.  Via TrueProtein, I can make a custom mix of Casein Hydrolysate, Citruline Malate, and L-Leucine.  For about 1/2 the price of Mag10.
