Incline Dumbells Vs Incline Barbell for the biggest chest (My new journal)

Sarge, the weather is crazy.....it was 37 today and I was sweating walking outside, lol....I got used to 25-below windchills.

Al, I do them on a flat bench. I wouldn't think it'd make a huge difference how you do 'em. If I use an incline I do tate presses......I guess it's what you'd call the medial head that needs work with me....I never was a big assistance/accessory movement guy and I hate getting "too cute", so I only do extra stuff as absolutely needed, but on pressing, the triceps are what holds me back, so I make sure to work them....if I don't, I have bars flying out of the starting position lightening fast only to get fucked a few inches from lockout.....so I always have in things like close grips, dips, skulls etc etc
 
late subscription. good luck with balancing school, training etc. thats a lot of work to cram into a couple days. im sure you can handle it though.

high 30's here too... with 5 ft. high snow banks on the side of the road!

Crazy ass east coasters...

Oh, and nice lifting :)


Mmmmm... and it will be a nice sunny 80 here today. Living la vida TEXAN.

And we want pictures of this 'very, very lean' BiggT.
 
Havn't updates in a bit....(I was gonna edit, but I am not fixing the typo in honor of my boy, jkurtz, and I'm not typing on a blackberry, so i have no excuse, lol)

Twice a week lifting blows...so I managed 3 times this week, then I think my preferred 4 days from now on, lol....I can make the time.

Thursday night I did:

Back Squats up to 5x385 (haven't done these in ages, felt fine though)

Pendlay Rows: up to 275x5

Chins: bodyweight x 11-10-9

Barbell Curls: up to 135x5 nice and strict, then a set of 12 at 120

Decline situps....2x20


Then today.....

BTN Push Press: 235 x 5-5-4-5-3-5-5 (lol, I felt sluggish today and my timing was off, but the weight wasn't bad, so I refused to stop until I got 5 reps for 5 sets, I don't recommend that though to people as it was probably stupid)

Power Clean: warm-ups then 3x3 at 285 (felt shitty too)

Back Squat: up to 395x3, then 340x8 (ironically my worst exercise traditionally was the only thing that felt good today, even though the poundages make me question whether I had a vaginoplasty)

Jump Shrug: lol, I don't wanna talk about it, but I will.....315x5, 405x5, 455x5, 500x5, 550x1, lol, 500x5 (if you blindfolded me I would have thought every set was with 585)

what else....some hammer curls with the 60s and some decline situps

SHITTY workout, felt sluggish and tired and like I couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time, I am gonna chalk it up to "one of those days"....I got through, thats what counts.

Weighed in at 231 and I can see my abs, lol, if I'd lay off the Tostidos and salsa they might actually look crisp.....I know many will disagree, and that's perfectly fine, but I have to say that so long as you eat your protein a calorie is a calorie is a freaking calorie because I eat mexican food 3 times a week, I eat pizza, I drink milk and a lot of it, I eat cereal, I'm not above fast food either.

Anyway, hopefully a good week of training to come.....so long as I maintain this weight I am not expecting huge lifts, but I still enjoy lifting, I am just not a very strong medium-sized guy......I'm a heavyweight at heart, lol.
 
for 230 you are still friggin' impressive you bastard, lol.

Nice lifts.

I just want to point out to everyone that this ^^^ (bolded statement) is what is said when you have superior genetics and lift massive amounts of tonage per week :p
