Goin' for a new PR tonight ...

[gettinlarger]

Gonna do some benching, and see if I can't get my 1RM up to 275. I know, it's not that much, but I'm still an amateur, and it's gonna make me AREAL happy if I can press this.

Hope you get that shit up bro.Last week I benched 265 for 3 reps for the first time shit felt good as hell.It's not as much as some of the guys on this bored but I don't think it's to bad for my 180lb ass.

 

[gettinlarger]

Sweet dude.

I also forgot to add ...

I'm probably 170 lbs right now, at most, and 5'9.

 

[gettinlarger]

YES!!! I DID IT!! and not only that ...
I started out with 2 warmups, 8 with 135, 4 with 185, then ...
225 for 2
245 for 2
255 for 2
275 for not 1, but 2!
I had some left in me, so I threw on 285, and pressed that too!!
I had some fire in me at this point, and some balls, so I decided I'd try to press 295, 30 lbs heavier than my previous PR. I pressed it, but with just a tad help from my spotter. Oh well, I had achieved my goal of 275, and was even happier when I was able to throw up 285. I can hear those 3 plates calling my name ...

[Deciever]

great work!

 

[p03t1c]

hell of a PR. 3 plates is on its way.

 

[Thaibox]

lol, great job bro. I could just see you giggling your ass off after tossing up 285. "How'd the hell did that happen"

 

[spatts]

G R E A T J O B !!!!

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

B Fold ... Dude, I have no idea ... the only thing differently I've been doing is needsize's thing. 5x5 for bench, then 2x10 on 2 other exercises. I do 1x10 warmup, then 4x5 with what I can. Since I started it, my strength has skyrocketed. All I need to do is start gaining more weight now. Much thanks also.

Thaibox ... LOL. Nah, I wasnt giggling, but I was surprised as hell. I was all looking around the gym, like 'seriously, how did that happen ...' Thanks dude.

Deceiver, spatts, p03t1c, IRBD'ing ... Thank you. It is greatly appreciated.

I'm going to continue needsize's routine. I really, really like it (obviously, haha) Props to him as much as everyone else. This week, I'm going to see if I can set a PR on squatting as well. It's not gonna be impressive, as my squat already sucks balls. But hey, what am I complaining about ... Apparently I have people here proud of me and my accomplishments thus far, and for that, once again, I thank you all.

 

[Deciever]

i think im gonna give the 5x5 routine a try...

 

[b fold the truth]

If it works for you...keep doing it!!!!!

I should really give another thanks to Cornholio. I believe needsize developed his routine with influence from him.
