I do speed bench every week (Thursday). I don't usually post anything about it because I really don't focus on it at all. I go up to 405 or so every few weeks...

Wow, nice like always... you are 1 huge dude

 

[gettinlarger]

The PRs come to you like flies to crap man. Haha. Great work!!

 

[JOKER47]

B-Fold> What's becoming of you? I swear I saw abs in that first "mandatory pose".

j/k Lookin' huge.

Do you notice any difference in doing face pulls from below your shoulders as opposed to above you shoulders? I always pull "down" towards my face, and I see you were pulling "up" towards yours. Just wondering if there is specific reason why.

Thanks.

I change things up so often or go for a PR on so many different exercises...that it makes it easy to set a PR. I will not go for a PR just like this again till next week...then not again for 3 more weeks.

Yeah...quite a few times I can see my abs...

I think that I felt the face pulls more in my rear delts and UPPER UPPER back when I pulled from lower down. Hey...it has to be a good variation...right?

For anyone who reads this thread again...I'll point out that I am VERY sore today. My chest is VERY sore.

The past several weeks I have not used bands on squats or bench and I have not been very sore at all. I added bands to my box squats on Wednesday and my hams and glutes are VERY sore.

I added bands to my bench press on Thursday and my chest is VERY sore today.

Soreness may not be an indicator of growth...but it is an indicator of something. At least it is an indicator of which muscles were REALLY worked in the previous workouts.

Serioulsly...invest in bands. They really do make a difference no matter if you are a bodybuilder or a strength athlete.

[t3c]

holy shit, doubled lights is INSANE band tension, or do you mean minis? eaither way thats insane lol

Also, you look like a BEAST in that video of the rows.

 

[DrBones]

I would like to borrow 30 lbs of muscle.... I'd love to be 220+ for a day

I'll give it back.............. I promise

 

[coolcolj]

Ahh a Bfold bench clip
I noticed you don't lock the bar out - why?

Bfold got any monster minis?
I have a pair. Somewhere in between lights and minis

Looking beefy in that row clip - like everyone has said

I actually try to force myself to lockout but I just can't get in the groove for some reason. the final lockout position kills my bicep tendons near the point of SEVERE pain.

I have the mini, light, med, heavies...2 sets of each now (Cheese and I do anyway).

Thanks man...

You are gonna see some freaky strong guys here that weekend. If we keep score (and I think that we are going to) then you will probably see me place 2nd or 3rd that day.

Don't forget that Spatts and I are going to have a race that day...

[Exodus]

You will have to take that up with her. I'll race ya...but we have to have some sort of strongman implement slowing us down just a bit

[spatts]

 

[Exodus]

hey spatts........ i dont wanna rain on your parade, so if im not included i will survive...... me and my wife and our friend are looking forward to meeting you and bfold........ i think you will be the only people well actually recognize.

hey i just wanted to join in the fun........ there has got to be something that we elitefitness members there can do that will make everyone on here laugh?!?!

bfold......... hmmm something strong man related with racing...... hey, doesnt that give you an unfair advantage???..... remember this is all greek to me........ but i guess that would be ok, i mean, we are talking about a race and you are caring around 50 lbs more than me.

hey, its gonna be a blast, i cant wait just for the comaradire, much less the training.

[spatts]

Exodus, I love meeting people from the boards. It's nice to have a face to put with the name, and we always have a fun time training. We work hard and play hard.

I have never touched any of the strongman/woman training equipment before, so it should be interesting. Running in a straight line might be the only thing I excel at all weekend (see, I didn't say "win." LOL).

 

[Exodus]

hey, dont sell yourself short, you did make the women's football league. ok, so i dont think i will feel as bad, not having every even tried anything strongman. but my wife is worried that she will be the smallest woman/wife there........ she's like "all of the guys wife's are gonna be bigger than me"......... so i told her to look out for you, she wont be training, but she could use the chance to see a strong women like yourself.

hey, i just wanna have as much fun as i can, and like bfold said, have so much fun we cant even walk.
