Hey guys I haven't been on this website for a long time but want to share some food for thought that will benefit anybody not already doing the exercises below. For 7+ years I've been doing the same ol' squat/bench/row/press/dead/pullup 5x5 thing which I'm sure a lot of you are doing right now...

Day 15 Press 40 45 55 60 65 70 Pullups BW x 2x1 +20 +35 +55 Deadlifts 205 245 285 335 380 Comments: Deadlifts were more difficult than normal Day 16 Front Squat 135 185 205 225 245 Paused at bottom. These are awesome. Pulldowns 195 210 225 240 255 270 Supinated close grip. Dips BW x 3...

Hey Mike, I wondered this myself and found a couple of things: -Hardest liquor you can find is the best, least amount of empty calories. -Try drinking more in moderation and try to save the wasted nights for the really good times. Take it for what it's worth, but I found one study that said...

lolol, JDid your other thread inspired me to look up my previous name oso0690 to see how long I've been a member here and I found this: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/weight-training-weight-lifting/osos-total-strength-journal-487773.html Pretty cool comparison

What's your journey? I got pissed in 8th grade when all the guys were able to beat me at arm wrestling. This kid said I should work out. Started going to the YMCA at 13 and worked on machines because that's all they taught me. I was scared to go over to the free weights and watched the...

Yeah definitely and thanks. I figure I'll just keep the progression going until I'm not comfortable with my form on the last rep, then I'll try them same weight again next time.

Day 14 06/14/11 Squat 185 225 255 285 325 Strong. Bench 135 155 185 205 230 Slight pause at the chest. Row 115 135 155 175 195 Actually had a difficult time with 195. I don't think I raised my lower back any to help the weight up though. Comments: Felt so great today. Found out my roommate...

Thanks Steve. Article explained a lot, I had always thought it was more black and white than that.

Sounds like you already have a progression plan! What movie are you seeing? I'm heading to the movies tonight too..although I'm a fatass and can't resist that popcorn urge. Hey it's a vegetable right? :p

Absolutely. Nothing wrong with splitting up your workout. Try to keep compound lifts before the isolation ones though.

Steve, I've always believed soreness doesn't equal stronger/more muscle. Is this wrong or is there some truth to it?

Live and learn lol. I shouldn't have maxed on all three in one workout, it's just what I've done in the past..never felt so drained after doing it though. Anyway here's the workout for today Day 13 06/13/11 Press 40 45 55 60 65 70 The 70s felt just as easy as the 65s. Really weird, but they...

No as long as some kind of progress gauge is there which would be your main lifts.

Nothing better than specifically training for what you want! I'd go with barbell static holds with a diameter the same as the one you're going to lift with normally. Btw, I worked up to closing the #2.5 CoC with a credit card set and saw little to no improvement in holding the barbell. I had...

lol at this thread. 200lbs is the norm but seeing a colossal 400+lb fat bitch in a scooter at the supermarket isn't a rare sight. Shit pisses me off when people like that take up the entire isle while asking for help to reach for the twinkies.
