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

[ZGzaZ]

Alright....through being a bitch. I figured out I can handle law school, and training, and a social life....it's not that hard, lol......I stepped on the scale earlier this week and was 224, I feel a little small...I seriously don't think I look at all big at this weight and I am about as lean as I'd ever really want to be anyway, so I think I'd like to coast around 235-ish.

I'll back-log.

Some sick workouts....since taking your advice to incorporate the jump squats (errr... shrugs...thanks cynical) into my routine the past few weeks gives me a whole new appreciation for your 495x5 top set on there..... ridiculous!

You're doin a great job of balancing everything right now, keep that up..

Are you shooting for any PR's on any lifts in the upcoming week or two?

lol, even BiggT isn't enough of a badass to get air on 495x5 squats. (But watch him prove me wrong with something like 455. )

How frequently are you planning to do deads, T? I remember you mentioning in the old journal that you're such a strong puller that the rest of your lifts go to hell if you try to push them.

You know that's funny, because I talked to him prior to starting my jump shrugs to get form tips, and I specifically asked him "should I be getting off the ground on my top sets even?" He told me he for sure gets air to 415, and might even higher but hasn't really payed attention too much as he's focusing on the weight. Crazy!

lol, you missed what I was pointing out: you typed 'jump squats' rather than 'jump shrugs.'

oh, lol....im retarded.

CS....right now every other week, when the numbers get a little better, I'll have to see.

 

[BiggT]

Jump SQUATS, lol...I've done them with 225 before and decided that it was dangerous, stupid, and not beneficial, lol.....Explosion is one area I never have to address as its never been an issue (can't say the same about triceps), but if I did, plyo, box jumps, or jump squats with maybe 95-135 would be a go.

 

[BiggT]

Zgzaz....no PRs in the coming weeks. Just keep getting a little better. Just about every PR I have was set at about 260lbs....I think clean or DL PRs aren't off the radar though.

If I'm not mistaken, 550x1 is your dead PR?

It's 585x5, 605x1, a miss at 640 on one occasion, and a miss at 655 on anothe......r 640 I missed below the knees, 655 I got pasted.

Sorry I missed your IM, I'll catch up with you though.
