Congrats on your accomplishment! Might as well keep pushing higher, you're not done yet!

My goal is to pull 405 lbs from the floor for 1 on my 50th B-day.

The truth is some people have it and some people don't. Nothing is going to change what your mom and dad passed on to you. You're not going to look like Arnold no matter what. I think the biggest...

I put 10 lbs on my DL and PR'ed a 1 x 395 this year.

Thanks and no doubt! I figure I've got several more years to go before my strength starts to decline.



Thanks and I agree. I'm going to continue to work in the middle to upper 300's as I...

Thanks and no doubt, I need to get 4 plates. I will be sure to get a video!



Thanks and I agree that a reduced number of warm up reps is in order for the 405 pull.



I'm in no hurry,...

I've been training for right at 7 years. I've used mostly full body programs utilizing DL, squat, presses, rows and bodyweight exercises. I tweaked my back a couple of years ago and quit...

Opps. My bad. 203 lbs @ 8% would be a nice chunk of LBM.

You'd have to check out the article and PM the fella if you're looking for additional pics.

Nice work......for a fat guy.....just kidding!!!

Wonder what Bo put up on incline today? ;)

The OP didn't state his goals other than to "bulk up". Maybe just wants to get big and strong with no regard for BF. Nothing wrong with that.

Focus on improving your overhead press with seated DB's, standing BB press, etc. It will have significant carryover to bench by strengthening your shoulders.

Honestly, I think flat bench puts...

2033 lb 3 lift total @ 198 lbs.

I concur with running the program as designed. It's more or less foolproof. I ran his program several years ago and got a lot stronger and my 16 year old son who is a high school wrestler ran his...

I certainly can't speak for you but the Chiefs made Manning who is now 39 look like he was 49. In my humble opinion, he needs to hang up the cleats.

That's a World Series that won't be forgotten for a long while.

Making a little more progress. He's fluctuating between 169-172 lbs.

He hit 145 lbs on bench over the weekend.
315 lbs on deadlift this evening.

Lifts in February 2015
Squat 200 lb
DL 245...

My 16 year old son hit a max deadlift of 300 lbs about 3 weeks ago. He's almost 6' 2" and fluctuates between 165-170 lbs. He's a wrestler so building strength is a functional/mandatory thing for...

ID- I get what you're saying. For you, yes 315 may be a basic starting warm-up weight. For the largest percentage of over age 40 lifters(which the OP referenced) 315 is probably not a starting...

It sounds to me like you're taking a sensible approach. You know your body better than anyone else and when a lift actually "hurts" it's certainly not helping you. It could be that your body just...

135 is a bench warm-up = 315 lbs is a deadlift warm-up? Ok, using your math, that means a 4 plate bench presser should be deadlifting over 900 lbs. Nah don't see that happening, I think a 315 lb...
