[sculli]

When you list your dumbells, are you adding both of the dumbells up when you list here? Whe I read this it looks like you're using 70's for dumbell bench which would be much harder than your barbell benches unless your adding the weight of the dumbells together and really using 35's. So what's up with that?

Dumbell Bench:

[EliteRightist]

Nice benching. Deadlifts are awesome. How come you can't get a gym membership for longer?

[I-love-muscle]

Nice benching. Deadlifts are awesome. How come you can't get a gym membership for longer?
cause of $$ problems, it's a really long story anyways
in football we stoped liftin and starte spring practice, and I can only get my membership back in june or july, so that's 3 months with no lifting, I decided to use these 3 months and try to cut down until about 15% bodyfat, if that goes easy I'll cut down even more

[EliteRightist]

That's too bad. Make the most of it I guess. Do you play football or just train with the team? Because I was going to say if you don't play, just go to the weight room at your school until summer.

[I-love-muscle]

yea i play football

[I-love-muscle]

got some good news, turned out to be that I will have spring practice for 2 weeks, not 3 months lol, so by the 1st monday in april I'm starting to lift again ^_^ woohoo

[IronBender800]

Good luck with the football and cutting dude! Nice past workouts too! Your pretty strong!

[Porky]

damn 3 months would have been hell.

[I-love-muscle]

omg I'm so mad, and embarassed too

ok So i came to practice today, and there were 12 people there....on the first day of practice we handed out equipment for 40 people, and out of 40 12 of them show up! This is fukin bull****

and the coach thanked us for coming and told us that we're canceling ALL practice cause not enough ppl show up, we'll start practice again on July....but we'll have weightliftin once spring break starts, and then we'll lift 4 days a week

When he said he's cancelin practice I thought he meant weight liftin as well, I was ready to just drop all my **** and leave...but when he said we'll lift weights I was reliefed


****in lazy ass ppl, get a little headache from football and dont show up, wtf ITS FUKIN FOOTBALL
im so goddamn mad.....

[weak1]

if they aren't gonna play, what's the point of acting like it? I'm no athlete, so I don't pretend to be. I bitched out of sports, but at least I had the consideration to talk to my coaches and tell them it isn't for me.

All my friends play sports and I know if something like that happened the coaches would go ballistic on everyone. lol At least you had the decency(sp?) to show up.

Just keep your lifting going. :)

[bodybuilda]

oh forgot about my goals
ok I'm tryin to fix my bench and deadlift
goals until january1, 2006
bench:275 (this will be hard)
deadlift:405
Hopefully I'll make it



hmm wow right now ur dead max i believe was 355 or so right?
its going to take that long to only get 50 pounds more on that for your goal ?
i mean im not as strong as u guys where the most ive deadlifted was at 255 x 6 reps.
ive never maxed dead lift.
i just started getting serious with deadlifts and have went from 135 to this 255 x 6 reps in like 2 months where im always adding 10 pounds or more a week on it.
i guess once u hit 300 and above its tougher right?

[I-love-muscle]

well I'm not in a hurry, that's just my goal, I will probably get more than 405 by 2006, cause my deadlift's 375 right now

[bodybuilda]

well I'm not in a hurry, that's just my goal, I will probably get more than 405 by 2006, cause my deadlift's 375 right now

well i was just wondering if once u get into the heavier weights that ur gains take longer.

and ya since ur 375 right now im pretty sure ull get ur max of 405 pretty soon.

[I-love-muscle]

Nice lifts dude! What are your goals?
hey thx
well my goals to get to my march 2006 are, bench 275, and deadlift 405

I'm pretty sure i'll get the deadlift, but the bench might be a problem

[big_baller]

good goals.

good luck with them.

[bodybuilda]

hey thx
well my goals to get to my march 2006 are, bench 275, and deadlift 405

I'm pretty sure i'll get the deadlift, but the bench might be a problem


ya man for sure you'll get that 405 max pretty soon. i would guess at least 450 by 2006 for u.

and just keep getting stronger on the delts and tri's you'll get ur bench up soon. good luck!

[weak1]

you're almost at your dl goal, and at your size I'm sure you can pull a 275 bench out of you.

[I-love-muscle]

thx bodybuilda and weak1 I'm hopin i can get a job over the summer so I can finaly make my own routine and not follow my coaches routine >_<

[Liftin4ever]

[big_baller]

Your a big dude ILM. I'm about an inch taller but you have nearly 15kg on me.

Also jumping into heavy bench after a month's break isn't too good, couldn't expect much mate, just gotta work back at it slow and it'll be alright.

[EliteRightist]

Awesome deadlifts. Nice shoulder presses.

Very good job on the deads, they look really heavy. Db-shrugs look ok, but you can probably pull alot more.

Watch out man, there might be small green men in the lat pulldown machine. If you bring a hair dryer to the gym and use it on your hands you will be OK. ;)

[EliteRightist]

Awesome deadlifts and db shrugs. You always do tons of volume. I don't know how you can remember that much.

[big_baller]

Squats used to hurt my knees too man. Are you sure you got the right technique? Your knee should never pass over your toes.

Anyways good bench work, everything looked solid for the volume you did.

[Danimal]

Nice workout- even if that 2nd set of 205x4 was hard, if you had to gut it out, those are the good sets.

Some questions for you- why do you do the DB press after pushdowns? Thats a lot of volume on the pushdowns and the DB press is a lot of triceps too. You should do the pushdowns last.

How much rest between your heavy bench sets? Take as long as you need to feel recovered. Not so long you cool down, but allow your heart rate and breathing to become normal and allow your muscles to not feel fatigued.

Why do you start your warmups at 135x10? You are using a hefty % of your work sets for a good number of reps as a 1st warmup. If you start lighter, like bar x15, 95x10, 135x5, 185x3 then hit your work sets I bet you'll find that not only is the 205 easier, but you could do more weight for the same reps, maybe 215 or so. Let your warmups be warmups and let your work sets be work sets. That was one of the most important things I learned and one of the most helpful things to get my lifts progressing. You are doing a good number of reps of fairly heavy weight (185x2x5) before you even get to your work sets.

Why do you start over at 135 on the inclines? You should already be warmed up. Do a couple reps with 135 just to adjust to the groove of the inclines and then hit your work sets. Again, you can probably go heavier if you adjust the volume on your lighter sets.

I'm not trying to intrude- just pointing out some things that I also did and had other lifters comment on, and it helped me, so hopefully it will help you too. Keep working hard, you are doing great!

But very nice endurance and lifts.

Nice benching and militaries. That "continuous lifting" reminds me of some of the trainers at my gym. They do like 10 lifts in the time I do 1. lol

[skinny_man]

looks hell tiring, nice bench and military presses

[big_baller]

geez how can you put yourself through all that!?!

[Pilgrim BB]

Nice workout ILM, very cardio intensive!

Reminded me of a 'medley' I used to do for cardio:
squats - clean and press - high pulls - bent o rows - deadlifts - shrugs, all reps of ten, one exercise after another without letting go of the bar, with 115lbs. That was done a couple of times through, and got me puffing a bit.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Dang man, thats some killer volume! Good work! What is the reason for all the sets at 185 and then jumping up? Work heavier- use 1 set of 185 as a last warmup and then kill the heavier stuff, thats what gets you bigger and stronger! If you changed your warmups around you'd be repping 215 for your work sets no problem.

[Porky]

tonsa volume man, nice lifting.

I have no idea man, I'm definently not a bodybuilder since I'm like 20% bodyfat, I just lift to be big and strong cause I plan on being a police officer or fireman since I'm not going to college

Nice lifting. You might have to go to college to be a police officer though. I want to be a police officer too and throughout my whole state at least that I know of you have to have 2 years of college (60 credit hours). Don't think you have to go to college to be a fireman though.

You do so much stuff man, how do you handle it?

Are you on a set routine? If not, maybe you should look into one. Just from personal experience I've found set routines to work better.

See you all in a month ;)

slow down there. Probly just a bad day. I had one today also. My normal max is 260, but 225 was kicking my ass after one rep. It happens.

Just make sure you come back next time and show the weight who's boss. :D

u seem to be a lot like me, anytime i take a lil break where people say that may make u stronger, for me it makes me lose practically 1/3 of my strength.
the more i train the better.
Just try and avoid those kinds of breaks at all times.

awsome benching man

but why do u jump 90lbs lol

barx10
135x6
185x3
205x1
225x5

or u can skip out that 205 single. the 185 and 205 wont phase u at all.

u not only need to warmup, but u need to acclimate ur body to the weight.
