Nice work, Sarge....full range squats multiple times a week will blow up your lower body........I always had a big ass and lifting has made it a real problem with clothes..I can only buy jeans at Old Navy or Levis Silver tabs, I just get a 40 waist and belt the hell out of it.......I have the build of a white black guy, lol.

Me too - but only in the front.

Sarge, check out Old Navy Extra Loose (or whatever they call their loosest fit) and Levi's 569s (regular or Silver Tab) for stuff with a good waist:leg/glute ratio (looks like T and I independently found the same jeans). Also, anyone interested in a pair of 34-32 Men's Express Non-Squatter jeans feel free to PM me with an offer.

140x8
165x6 (HOLY SH1T... I may have overestimated )
planned 185x8...
175x5.5 lol... ridiculous

I'm really friggin' disappointed with my bench
Perhaps I've overtrained it... since January it's been a focus... then I went to 2x week... destroying it up until before the 5x5... maybe needs a break? I love the way my pecs have came in..but they can't handle anymore ... or should I start using the pink weights?

90* Barbell Row
95x5
110x5
125x5
155x5
180x3 (PR...WOOHOO, i wasn't sure... during my Row max day 6 weeks ago got 180x2.75 lol)
135x8 (lol... almost forgot to do this, I put all my plates I had out had to re weight up and bang it out real quick )

DB Flat Bench: 70's (140lbs) x 8 ... Figured I should do something cuz my Benching was plain sh1ty today.... 70's felt heavy, but could have gotten 10 or 12 reps.

Abercrombies - using E-Z curl bar (15lbs)
75x8
85x8
90x8

Trifectas "V" Barz
85x10
95x8
110x8
120x8

... my tris are getting stronger from the close grip and tuckin' the 'bows on bench

End Time: 7:28pm

P.S. My spinal erectors don't even come out and say hello or yell "stop that shit biznatch" anymore

PWNED! lol

Wait, where the hell did 5x8 on bench come from (I haven't had much time to check the forum lately)?

Are you really surprised you had nothing left in the tank after 24 reps?

Don't worry about the bench....you just overestimated.....I would still go with the plan for the heavy day, and then hit 8's in a week with more conservative poundages......if next week is a disaster, we can worry about it then.

lol... yeah, I didn't realize I'd be doing 40 reps total

Back a page or two T and I discussed new bench layout... cuz I stalled.
