I mainly stick to a max of 225lbs during regular benching.

135x12 155x12 180x10 210x8 225x8 225x8 and it has worked well for me.

I also tend to exhaust my triceps on these days, too.

looks like his back should have snapped

8/12/2006 10:15:49 PM

I'm going to start lifting less and doing more cardio. hopefully I'll get in an hour's worth today.

8/13/2006 12:58:21 PM

I need to start being more selective about who I get to spot me.

8/15/2006 7:41:56 PM

^^^^ what a fucking retard

halfass attempt at a back workout today. I should start doing back width and back thickness exercises on separate days. once I get my weight set up here from my parent's place, I'll probably do just that.

9/20/2006 8:24:49 PM

wtf is fe?

squatting rock bottom with 405 on your back is an invigorating sensation.

9/28/2006 10:17:19 PM

I haven't been to the gym in months (serious lifting).

I need to get back into it...my belly is hanging.

^got any suggestions?

9/28/2006 10:19:34 PM

I got a mental block on my bench set up, my feet keep breaking loose.

9/28/2006 10:20:01 PM

^^my suggestion would be to get back into the gym


^how are you breaking your feet loose on your bench?

9/28/2006 10:22:07 PM

how often do you lift?

9/28/2006 10:24:56 PM

felt lazy today so I just did some deadlifts

9/28/2006 10:25:04 PM

Its like a mental block or something, when I'm pressing my right foot breaks loose. I gotta find something that works. I don't like benching up on my toes.

9/28/2006 10:25:52 PM

Lately I've been lifting 4 days in a row, followed by 2-3 days of cardio and then repeating. I'm tempted to go back to DC training and lifting every day though.

9/28/2006 10:28:18 PM

state gym?

9/28/2006 10:29:22 PM

have you tried benching in a different pair of shoes? something like a pair of combat boots where you can't arch your foot?

if you're only doing it with one leg, I'd be inclined to think either your torso wasn't square on the bench or that you have one leg shorter than the other.

9/28/2006 10:29:44 PM

I just got back in the gym tonight doing a light chest/back workout, i've been slack the past 3 weeks since I fucked up my left shoulder

9/28/2006 10:30:10 PM

I graduated, so no carmichael. I go to Planet Fitness now, and hopefully by the end of the year I'll have my home gym set up in my garage.

9/28/2006 10:31:08 PM

ele, let's see some pictures of your progress

9/28/2006 10:33:51 PM

Word. Maybe its a squat issue, get my leg's bigger.

9/28/2006 10:34:01 PM

I rarely take pictures when I'm on a bulking phase; they just make me more prone to being wishy-washy about whether to cut or bulk.

I start cutting next week though, so I'll probably take some before and after pictures. Right now I'm hovering around 265, and I'd like to cut down to about 235 by the end of the year.

9/28/2006 10:39:33 PM

whats your height, though?

9/28/2006 10:40:29 PM

5'-11"

9/28/2006 10:42:20 PM

5-11 and 235 wow.

I finally got 225 off the ground today, and I liveeeeeee.

9/28/2006 10:44:43 PM

It would only be appropriate in this thread to give the the molarity of the Fe I pump instead.

9/28/2006 10:46:26 PM

You folks are little.

I stand 6'2" at 280lbs and NOT all of it is fat

9/29/2006 6:58:38 PM

The Myth

9/29/2006 8:27:04 PM

I just finished applying the first coat of paint to my bench and weight set. hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to put on the second coat and have the weights ready to rack by Tuesday.

I'll take pictures when I finish. hopefully the red and white color scheme turns out OK.

10/7/2006 7:05:15 PM

I finished painting the lettering on my weights tonight, so hopefully everything will be dry enough tomorrow for me to rack them and start lifting. Now all I need to do is find a crafts store that sells vinyl fabric in NC State red, or ideally with either wuffie or the block S logo on it. I would love to get the retro Wuffie, because having the mascot puffing out his chest would be perfect for a bench cover.

I should have just enough paint left over to do both 100lb plates whenver I get the chance to go home and get them. I need to build a deadlifting platform before I start using them anyway, so it's no rush.

10/13/2006 9:55:42 PM

i ran this morning before work.

it felt good except the fact that it was cold out

10/13/2006 9:57:54 PM

this thread always comes to the top when I haven't done shit for the day


ah well....last week I spotted this really cute blonde chick on squats...should have asked for her number

10/13/2006 10:28:05 PM

Didn't Get My DE work in for today.

10/14/2006 12:53:48 AM

^^^^You got pics of that yet?

10/17/2006 11:11:08 PM

ran 3 miles in the rain tonight..

10/17/2006 11:12:09 PM

I'll take pictures this weekend. I finished painting everything except the 100lb plates, and they should be done by Saturday hopefully.

10/17/2006 11:35:41 PM

I started a dc regimen. It was hard not letting myself lift today . I decided to to do the halfbody split because i hate myself.

10/18/2006 12:13:33 AM

I just ran a combined four or so miles today between the elliptical and the treadmill.

I probably shouldn't lift for a while, since my forearms are all fucked up, though ibuprofen seems to be doing wonders for getting the (what I understand in inflamation) down. Once they're all back to normal I'll have to start doing a bunch of forearm exercises though

now it's time to work on fixing up a squat rack.

[Edited on October 18, 2006 at 8:14 PM. Reason : fullsize]

10/18/2006 8:13:29 PM

I did 240, today on the bench, for a few sets in addition to my usual boute.

I feel like rocky.

10/18/2006 8:15:17 PM

you feel like a midget with a speech impediment?
