Goal: Jacked inner pecs and thunderous biceps

Good morning... Glad to hear that milk still does a body good.

Thank-you dear.

Solarclimax, thanks, but I would be happier if it were more like 400x1, but thats what training is for.

great journal biggt. I love your power clean numbers is there any chance you can upload one so I have an idea what I am aiming for?

Nice Mt. bike ridage broly! ... lol... millions of singles, Niiiiice! Quality pre working set joint lubrication

Disregarding all saftey and bodily hazards: Do you feel stronger without warm up... or with warm up?
Ex: After a nice Squat workout of triples... do you feel strongest at the end, or can you bust out a quality PR or big single without warm up?

Here's the real question: does BiggT even workout anymore? LoL Post 'em up!

Lifting weights is a very dangerous activity and one should seek doctoral advice prior to exerting one's self to any strenous activities

Thanks petpre....a video camera is on my to-buy list, lol

Sarge, without a doubt I perform better with a warm-up. I feel cold and tight if I don't warm-up. Even after a heavy squat workout, if I do a back-off set of 10, I can use much more weight than if I just came in and worked up to a set of 10.

For your example, I feel strongest at the end after some work. With cleans, I won't even begin the work sets until I am sweating and I have gotten myself into a nice groove. I never blow my load so to speak in warm-ups, like I won't bench 225 to failure and then do my working sets, but I am a big fan of properly warming up.

Ok, me too... I agree completly

I'm still feeling the "warm up" and "working sets" out as that is pretty new to me (besides 1 warm up and then go at it type of approach)... I think that's why I like deadlifting after a traditional BB'ing type back workout... cuz i'm all warm and ready to pull big.

Ok, thanks for the reply... just was curious off the the fridge I go

Sarge, you'd like olympic lifting, you're pretty well worked before you even get to the squat rack.

I LOVE Cleans... I forget which one's I do though... too many damn names. Clean to front squat and up is like cardio after a few reps, lol.

I've been meaning to try to do OH Squats...

My OHP is "teh suck".com ... eh, I definetly, without a doubt want to try an OLY routine one of these days

*goes off to get food and come back to look up OLY routines and begin education,*

Erector(s) on the left side still a little bit tweaked when I have a bar across my back, much better than last week, but I didn't want to do something stupid, so I didn't go crazy wit hthe squats.

Back Squat: 135x5, 225x5, 295x5, 315x3, 345x5x5

That was it, in and out quickly, much more weight next time so long as I feel 100%

 

[Tweakle]

smart thing, live to fight another day rather than pushing it and ending up taking a week off... wish I could learn from your example

I did the same thing today, felt a twinge low in my right side and decided to stop. It wasn't easy, though, I loaded up the weights again for another set (I was working out with a friend), went to get a drink of water and on my way back I decided to bail out.

Whaddya gonna do.
