Inspiration to all us little guys. Set a personal record for myself too but I'm not gonna say what it is. Kinda puny in comparison.

I learned a LONG time ago, that the only competition should be with yourself.

Post those lifts.
Hell I was a buck-fifty when I began lifting..

Dayum... way to go Cornholio!!! Very solid in all aspects brother.

Alright. Keeping in mind that my bench has never been impressive by anyone's standards.... I did 205 for 5 reps. My spotter is a personal trainer and he said I had the best form he's ever seen.

edited to add that that was my last set of bench. I'd gone to failure for 3 sets prior with lighter weights.

Love it!! Just raised my weights last week!!! you feel like running around the gym screaming and jumping up and down!!

MY FRIEND - THAT IS VERY RESPECTABLE.

ESPECIALLY ON A TOP END SET.

Fro...Good job bro and listen to the cornbutt-plug he is a smart feller for a cross dresser in a cool jacket.

LOL!!

Yeah I help Wodin set a record in the Ancient age group...

 

[frorider6]

Cornbutt-plug? Will that help my lifts? Do I only put it in when I go to the gym? Maybe the "turtle poking his head" feeling WILL help me become a stud in a Pleather, I mean, Leather jacket.

Thanks for the support Corn. And congrats again on your lifts.

If you are lucky. See Cornholioness is a way of life...

Sweet lifts man. I can't do heavy dips without jacking my shoulders up.

I do EO week - with a pretty close grip and tilt me body forward to pre-stretch the pecs..

True...he helped in to break the record for walker assisted dead lifts by increasing my soft foods!

Good job guys...I'll catch up with you someday.

Any tips on improving bench? I talked to b fold and he helped me out some.

I like the periodization scheme where you increase weight and decrease weight week by week. If you do a search on "bench press programs" or something to that effect, you should find some good stuff. The "Critical Bench" website is pretty good.

 

[The Shadow]

Shit, that's really good... I wish I was that strong, here are my stats:

Age: 18
Weight: 170
Height: 5'7"-5'8"
Bench: 135x10, 155x10, 185x10, 205x10, 225x6, 245x3, 265x1.......... after that go to dumbells.
Squat: 455x3(90 degree bend in legs) (no free squat machine, so Smith machine)

I aspire to be in law enforcement, but I need to be a lot bigger and stronger! Imagine someone like WODIN or Cornholio high on rock/PCP coming after you? NOT a preety site for the smaller dude!!!

I like training for strenght twice per week.

One workout - heavr and basic with pryamids on the weights.

WO2 - speed training take 5-60% of your max and do speed reps do 6-8 sets o f only three reps. Focue on driving the bar with as much speed as possiblr. On the same day pick one other exercise that resembles bench like close-grip and work heavy on it.

Modified Simmons training

CORRECTION

I meant "increase weight, decrease reps"

You're not even going to ask why I bumped a thread from way back when?




Well, no reason really. Good lifts though.
