Journey to a 250lb Monster........

[silver_shadow]

Well at first I was going to try and set a PR before I got tired. I tryed lifting 345 though and it dident budge. So I just started light and tryed working my way up without getting tired. I would have had the 345 I diden't even start shaking or anything like normal and it came up quite fast until my grip just went out and i dropped 1 side. I definatly have to remember to start some grip training because it's really hurting my lifts.... even bench press. I also need to get more into workout out almost everyday. It just seems to kill me to do it because im so lazy.

I would much rather give up some strength to be 6' 5" !!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for posting!!!!

i'll take both thank you

the taller you are, you CAN (by filling out your frame) just be that much fricken stronger than you could if you were shorter.

Yesterdays workout:
Floor Press: 235x7, 235x6, 235x6
Rows: 185x6, 185x6, 185x6
Dips: body weightx16, body weightx17, body weightx15

All in all it was a pretty good workout. I rested about 1 min. after each set and about 4 min. after each exercise so it was rather fast compared to usual. Diet still isent looking good, however I went and bought some food. As soon as I wash all the dishes tomorrow it should look alot better and then ill start posting it.

Thanks to everyone whos following along.

Nice workout, and good that you got some food, lol....watch that rest, man....you're not training for a figure show, brother, take the time you need to hit your reps.

great workout dude.. keep it up..

 

[tay1506]

No, but I had stuff to do and my friend came over and wanted to workout with me unfortunately. Today I was going to do legs, but I decided not to because I mest up my broken foot again and it hurts pretty bad. Figure ill let it rest and just hit it hard tuesday besides they are still sore.

Todays workout:
Floor Press: 235x7, 235x7, 235x7
Military Press: 135x4, 135x4, 135x4
Power Cleans: 185x0 - almost, but no . Tried 3 times and then gave up. I knew I could do it though I just don't have enough speed at the top. I got it past my pecks everytime, but coulden't get below it.
Power Cleans: 155x5, 155x4 - Failed and almost fell backwards on 5, 155x5
Close grip F.P: 155x4 - stopped because it hurt my wrist to bad.
Ultra Wide F.P: 155x12
Dips: BWx13 - My shoulders were gone by this point

It was an alright WO, but it could have been better. I felt pretty strong coming into it and i guess I was because I got 235x7 on FP without to much difficulty. I think I worked my shoulders to much compared to everything else. PCs killed me there at the end because i need to get cardio up some. I was wondering should I throw some curls in my workouts?? I noticed my curling strength has gone down considerably and my biceps are lacking. How much does curling build biceps?? Also cottage cheese sucks balls no matter what you put in it!!!!!

ok.. i'm a noob.. what are floor presses? and about the PCs.. great job.. but i'd recommend u to reset form after the 2nd rep or 3rd as oly style lifts are mean to be performed with singles.. as form breaks down after the 3rd rep.. so i know what u mean when u said u fell backwards..

curls can be done once a week i guess.. but don't go too crazy on it.. it's supposed to be an accessory work..

nice workout anyway..

Floor presses are just Bench press, but on the ground without a bench. This means you can only go to 90 degrees which sucks, but i don't have a bench yet so o well. Also I did reset after each PC with about 5 sec. inbetween reps. I was just so tired(cardio wise not muscles) my form got horrible on the last one when i tried to drop down under it. Also I wear no shoes when I workout so that might have something to do with it.

 

[carlsuen]

lol.. with power clean u have to stomp your feet.. so i can't imagine stomping your feet without shoes..

ouch.. wear them..

5 secs is too fast.. u shouldn't rush the reps.. like 10-15 secs inbetween is ok too i guess..

 

[tay1506]

Yeah I don't quite got the form down that well, but it's not to bad.
