gonna try 405 next monday on the bench

[duritz]

i am a long time contributor on the chat and convo boards and i post up my lifts over there. A lot of people have told me i should start posting over here cuz I might know a thing or two about lifting.

I'm 23 yrs old... 6'2-6'3 tall... and weigh about 215 right now in my bulk phase... i was 190 in july.

Next monday i am gonna try 405 for the first time ever..

I do a 8-6-4 workout... something like this

MOn- chest
tues- back
weds- shoulders
thurs- bi and tri
fri - legs and calves


i rotate incline and flat bench each week..
MON incline, flat dumbells, fly machine and usually another press machine or pushups

TUES pull ups, lat pull downs, some sort of row and then pullovers

WEDS smith machine presses, machine presses, side raises, front raises

Thurs close grip bench, dips, cable pushdowns, one arm pushdowns, straight bar curl, dumbell curl, machine curl

Fri squat, extension, curls, standing calf, seated calf


I can incline about 320, bench hopefully 405, smith machine press about 260, close grip bench about 350, straight bar curl around 190 and squat the bar (JK i have a narrowing of the spine so my squat is about 400)


wish me luck for next monday.. i wish i could have someone videotape it for me.... i'll keep u posted

Good luck man. Based off your incline you oughta hit it.

That's an insane barbell curl, BTW. I know a couple of lean 280 lbers. who couldn't curl that for a rep. Is it at all strict?

Either way, it still kicks ass.

What can you do on a BB military, seated or standing? I'm not really familiar with how a Smith press might correlate to that.

Get nasty with this shit next Monday, you understand? Coming back and saying you pussed out isn't an option.*












*Keep that in mind when you're getting ready to lift

it's pretty strict actually (referring to the barbell curl)

i did incline today... 250 for 8, 270 for 6 and 290 for 3

then i did 320 and barely got it..

the smith machine is about the same as the military in my gym.... it's just a lot easier on my back cuz i don't have to hold the weight straight up on it's own.

if i hit 365 for 4 i am defly gonna do it... it all depends on that... i always get the next weight when i hit the 4 rep for a good hit.

rephrase that....

"im going to do 405 next week.

The weight has dishonored you, cause you have been afraid of it, Do not fear but conquer....
