Thanks Winters, but not really lol.

There is always room for more strength. . .for me strength gain = size gain.

Big eating is 75 percent of my training. . lol.

LOUDEN is the MAN

I agree with the others, you're strong. I do have a question, though: it seems like you should be able to do more weight on the dips, simply relative to your other lifts. Or maybe I'm crazy. Dips are where your chest is at its strongest position, it just seems like you should be able to do more weight to me.

Thats some pretty respectable poundages Swain !!!

Your seated military press @190 is very respectable.

I would have to say you defitnetly earned your dinner tonight

P.S.

Your dumbell inclines @110 lbs. x 10 is very respectable.

Debaser, dips are one of my worst exercises.

It is essential for me to have solid technque so I can prevent injuries.

I always get a full range of motion and take the movement nice and controlled. I have never used more than 100lbs on weighted dips, besides my chest, delts, and triceps were starting to fatigue.

Thanks. . its OK and has taken years to build up to this level.

In 1996, I thought I was tearin' it up when I was working out with 75lbers for sets of 8.


Its all about drilling. . drilling. . drilling!!

Sorry Swain.....110 x 10 is more than just o.k. I`ll stick with my original statement.....
its VERY respectable bro !!!!
