*note* I'm not online as much anymore, if ya haven't noticed, lol. Busy-BUSY

Same here, although I always have time to check this PR-fest. Nice benching - you should own 200+ for 5 when you switch back to regular grip. The squat and row PRs are good stuff too, of course, but it's always a good feeling to get a stalled lift moving again.

The squats are coming along nicely, Sarge.

hehe PR fest

That's the thing... I can't go wide, that's how I messed my shoulders up... i have to stay close to tuck my elbows... I think i'm a permanant CGBPer.

Thanks!! I'm deff. happy everythings moving nicely... and that I'm busting through my benching plateau soon (in a few weeks).

As long as the squats go up you will be fine dammit.

You'll be fine man...CGBP is the best way to learn how to bench....even if you like them and want to keep the grip close, thats even better, imo it is more functional and you get more bang for your buck in terms of what is 'worked'.....the ONLY advantage a flat bench has (the only advantage over any press it has for that matter) is the load you can use.

I like that thinking!

Ok cool.. yeah, i'm probably going to bench like this for a long time.

Thanks man!! Yerp yerp... Can't wait for a quality 315lb squat!!

*Note*

So yeah... my left leg... is 1/4 inch longer... and likes to stay that way, I get adjusted (chiropracter) and it's only off by a couple milimeters...but it goes back to odd ball a few days after.

1/4 inch shimmy in my right shoe for squats, i'm thinking, i'll probably permanantly (well in my other shoes too) install one to level me out, it is noticable... and that's why I tend to favor leaning on my right leg come to find out...

friggin' weird.

Snuck this in up there, lol.... didn't see it!

Thanks T!!

*another note*
This is all on a "limited" intake as well... besides the pizza I had sunday night in preparation for tonight

I've ditched the ridiculous shake in the am cuz i was getting sloppy...still soft, ect... but better IMO (whole eggs..chicken/cheese omelete that turns into a scrambled mess that i just inhale, lol and oats with berries instead)

Holdin strong at 210-212 lbs

214.0lbs at the gym tonight.

ANOTHER relative I saw this weekend...literally, said... "HOLY SHIT... working with some iron, huh"

"you're going to need a bra soon! What... looks like a B cup?" ... he's a funny bastard.

It's good to hear once in a while...
