Killed That Shit!!!

[WalkingBeast]

Hey everyone!! I wanted to post up a PR I hit tonight. I did 315 for 5X5 and then some on the flat bench today. Looks like I should be at 325 in two weeks for sure. This offically puts me back to where I was before the injury and possibly beyond. 315 felt very light. 315x7 was my best before the injury, Im guessing I could get 8 now for sure.

NOT TO SHABBY. GOOD JOB.

I just missed a PR last night on seated military bb. Felt real good yesterday was going to go 295, but left shoulder and bicep were a little shaky with 275. I just stopped after doing the 275 for 8. Ill get it next week.

5x5 for 320 next week?

Mad props WB - If that's for real, I'm MUCH MORE impressed with the 225 for 17 on incline than 315 on bench..........

Just think, if you ate 1/2 way decent, you'd be a true animal!

GOOD POINT JKURZ.

I missed the 225 for 17 on incline. GOOD LIFT WALKINGBEAST.

Military with 3 plates, is far more impressive than any amount of bench......IMO.....the bench can be learned......Military, you have it or you don't........SO MANY bench over 315 but can barey muster 185 on a strict military.........Props haus.

Awesome military brother!! Definately going to kill 325 by the end of this month!! Im just thankful Im not still fucked from the injury and I can begin making real progress again this year. I really though it would take a very long time just to get back again. Keep KILLING that shit!

ThanX for the encouragement brother!! Yea I cant hit most of you with karma most likely since you guys always post on my threads and encourage me. Much appreciated!! Hows training on the bench and deads going? Awesome lifts! TRAIN OR FUCKIN DIE!!

ThanX brother!! Im working on making it a joke! Hope to get 405 by the end of this year, possibly on both benches. Incline and flat or very close to eachother. Keep training hard brother!!

ThanX brother!! No need to constantly trash my eating , though. Im not a big believer in 400 grams of protein a day for growth. When I ate that much it didnt get used efficiently at all. My uncle who was 280 at 12% BF, 23 inch arms didnt go over 300 a day either. My eating has been pretty consistent in the 240-250's lately with some inconsistent days. I do what I can having a fucked up digestive system. There are many times where I will vomit, guaranteed if I eat anymore, and whats the purpose of that? Ive done that many times. Im taking in more shakes now, drinking half a gallon of milk each day and eating as much as I can get in. My incline and flat are very close like I mentioned, I just hit 275x13, just short of lockout on the last rep, a few days ago. I agree though, incline is more impressive to me then flat. Militaries all the more impressive. Barbell militaries put alot of pressure on my collar bone and lower back so I stick to heavy dumbells on that movement. Keep training hard!!

ThanX brother!! 225 is feather weight for me, so I can always rep it close to 20 times at the end of my routines on either flat or incline, or both. Awesome fucking lifts BTW! ThanX again brother!!

ThanX brother!! hahahaha Youre fucking hardcore yourself!! If I dont keep this progress up I need to be destroyed! I may even do it myself! ThanX again brother!!

I agree brother. They put alot of pressure on my collar bone and lower back as I mentioned so I stick to the dumbells. Ive done 245 down to my chin in the power rack without a spot, but hardly ever do them due to the pressure. I do them in the smith machine as well from time to time. Freeweight barbell just doesnt feel right. Keep it up!!

I think the key is to go as deep as you can comfortable and not blow out a shoulder. I use the same grip as i do for bench, extra wide. So when i come down, my elbows are at 90 degrees before i even get close to the back of my neck.

ThanX brother!! I may eventually work them back into my routine again. I get so much pressing from the heavy inclines and bencing twice a week, that my main focus is on the side delts and rear delts, so I dont do too much pressing just for the shoulders, like I once did. ThanX again!!

 

[cwick0]

I only hit chest once a week, so my shoulders aren't completely fried like yours.

Nice. Thats how I used to train but now for a while Ive been doing chest twice a week to give the inclines and flats a pretty equal workload. I mainly just hit the sides and rear delts when I train them after inclines and speed bench. Sometimes Ill throw in some presses too.
