The fattening up for winter training log

Good to see you got your curls in at the end bro

Gotta work the important muscles, I want my guns to Internet-measure 26" and that won't happen without some serious pumping. (they are 22" right now, to go with my 28" waist and 40" thighs)

Got some deep tissue work done on my back today and far from helping it totally threw me out the groove when I came to press.. the bar was all over the place as the muscles weren't used to working in tandem.

Bench, 365 x 6 (not happy with this)

Pause bench 365 x 3, 385 x 1, 405 x 1 (PR for pause)

I have no idea who was making those sounds in the background but it sure as hell wasnt me!

Rep out with 225, 26 reps

Standing shoulder press

135 x 5, 155 x 5, 185 x 2 , 135 x 5, 155 x 5... I got owned by this, I have the strength for sure but it was insanely hard. Gotta work on it

Dips bw 5 x 10, 30 secs rest between min sets

Fuck you bench is strong. I know everyone on the AAS forum can do 405 for like 15 reps, all DC style at that, but I still think your doing OK.

I would think you could put a ton overhead. Seated what are your maxes like?

 

[Tweakle]

bizzarely the studs with the massif gunz seem to usually only have 3 plate benches to go with their 21"+ arms, guess they just use such good form they dont need to lift heavy to grow.

Seated I did 275 for a double with the bar (from the bottom, but only from chin height) , and the 120's for 8 fairly recently... I would be happy to get to 225 for reps standing as it's so much harder

good shit tweakle, i think i may be the exact oppsite standing presses are easier than seated but i haven't done seated shoulder work in probably 2 years

Your bench is strong as hell. Keep eating and you will hit those goals.

Tweakle....that wasn't getting owned with 445, that was some serious flirting with 445

Bingo!

Tweakle, man, you took her out on the town, got her loaded and had your hand in her panties. If you were any closer with that 445, it'd be with child now

You're not that unusual in having problems with that last quarter of the rep, either. I don't do flat bench anymore, but I have the same damn problem with inclines and dips :-/ Frustrates the shit out of me, but it's good to know there are plenty of ways to address it (pin lockouts and, IMO, speed work off the chest would be mega-helpful, too).

I'm a little surprised to hear your experience with Anadrol, though. It really messed with you that bad? Sorry to hear it

 

[guldukat]

don't knock the swiss ball for presses, it's good enough for Louie Simmons then it's good enough for me (and if it gives me abs like Nick Lachey in the process so much the better)

LOL

I know you're teasing, but I'd say you already have abs that lightweight would drool over. (Hmm. Maybe that's why he dumped Jessica. He's...*gasp*...after YOU! ROTF.)

 

[Tweakle]

hey man, good to see you back - you gonna stick around?

I think the pause benching should help me improve speed, the only problem is the time under tension is going to be a lot less than with touch n go, so I'll alternate the two

14" Box squats, worked up to 545 x 3 and my nose exploded all over the mirror.. it was a truely lovely sight to behold & kept anyone from asking if they could work in, or how many sets I had left

one leg leg press, cybex squat press

5 plates/side x 5, 6 pps x 5, 7 pps x 5 right leg x 4 left leg

Ghetto GHR assisted using the lat pulldown & 40lbs for 2 x 8

calfs

no abs

elbows are feelin ok so I'm back to an upper/lower split as of Monday

You've gotta love nose bleeds during training....nice box squats.

PS,

Please stop starting threads like this one on the AAS forum with your alternate user name, lol
