New dog looks jacked, congrats. If we're gonna post pet picks, I want in...

Odin looking like a boss enjoying a Canadian winter.

Aces tail looks exactly the same as that. How much does your dog weigh? Greyhounds average 65-70 lbs. Theyre a lot thinner that Great Danes. And they have much thinner heads and noses.

I bulked him to about 75 lbs while doing cardio at the dog park every day. Now we are down to 5 cardio sessions a day but I don't have a scale to weigh him in the past few months.

Ace is cool, but doesn't fit the owner. DanG is not a runner....barely a walker. Not saying I have room to talk, but my dog fits my persona much better. "Gotta get dat bulking food in before you pass out on the floor" I always say.

[arian11]

Deadlift reps?! Next thing you know, you'll be doing overhead press on bench day. Loled at Rocky staring at your back while you were doing pullups. He was like,

I enjoy doing this on Sundays. I spend a little time cleaning up Fe and get a little pump dog while Im down there. Feelsgoodman.

So Im 90% sure Im going to do the bench only meet on February 2nd. Id like to get an official 500 lb bench in the books, so thats the goal.

Well if it's gonna be a PR it better be in America pants with a beer hat on, damnit.

Notes
Today was an interesting day. I woke up at 6 am for work and I had chocolate ice cream for breakfast. Then had moar when I got home from work. Subsequently, I pooped like 4 times during my workout and my stomach would just not settle. smh.

Pressing felt really good and strong for both Greg and I. We will take it.

My bodyweight has dropped a bit and settled around 223-224 in the evening. This is because Ive discovered Chipotle and replaced my typical 1500+ calorie garbage fast food lunch with a lower calorie, slightly healthier Chipotle burrito bowl. Im starting to get somewhat of a 6er. I expect bishes to start mirin' HAM as a motha.

[COBBER]

Sickening.

I hope you're ready for massive NEGS!!! lol not srs... But y u no wear captain america pants? I am disappoint.

Awesome PR's man. What's your best 405 rep out? 405 x 6 is pretty fukin ridiculous. I can't wait to just get to 315 x 5 lol.

I like the way you set up your board pressing. So is Greg using a band to keep it in place, and you're using like a velcro thing? How exactly are you doing it? It looks pretty fukin secure.

So do you usually do ME bench on Mondays and DE bench on Thursdays? I was thinking of trying that template out. I did dynamic last Friday and didn't feel 100% recovered from it for today's ME session, so it seems like Thursday would be more ideal.

EDIT: how the fuk are you just now discovering chipotle? Not sure is srs... wut the hell kind of garbage do u usually eat?

405 x 6 tied my best 405 rep out. I've hit it for 6 a few times now. If I did it fresh I think I could get 7.

Greg is using a short mini band to hold his boards. I'm using the "trunk" section of an old under armor style shirt to hold mine in place. They both work pretty well. Gotta get creative when you don't have a third guy to hold the boards. Ace tried, but he kept dropping it.

Yea I always ME on Monday and DE on Thursdays. That breaks it up nicely for me and I'm usally pretty recovered for each session.

I've known about Chipotle but I've never had it! For lunch I need to find something thats real close to my delivery route, so I can't go way out of the way. Typically id have Wendys or McDonalds or whatever, but I found a Chipotle right on my route. Score!

Update:

Seeing that I'm hovering around 223 or so, I think I'm gonna go 220 on the 2nd for my bench meet. 500+ @ 220 is important to me right now, so that's what id like to do.

[Jason2459]

500 is a great bench at any weight. @ 220 is amazing. Good luck.

[ErickStevens]

223lbs? You got AIDS or something?

[dan_g_28]

Thanks Jason. I really wanna be in the top handful of 220 lb raw benchers in the country, so I need to start logging official lifts over the 500 lb barrier.

223lbs? You got AIDS or something?

LOL ERIC! I'm just a skinny lil thing tehehehe

[dtaps24]

Can I borrow your papoose for when I take the kids to Disney World? Gay ***. No homo.

[darren.dugan]

lmao!


I haven't been around these parts for a long time - have you never actually done a meet before?

[kingscross]

223lbs? You got AIDS or something?

Don't you know Dan_G is like 5% BF and can do 72 or 78 chins like LAM or LIME who are 60lbs lighter?

[dan_g_28]

When is your meet?

Bench only - Feb. 2nd. Push/Pull or full power with a token squat - Mar 16th.

This.



lmao!

Ive done 2 meets.

Did my first meet in Aug. 2011 maybe like 6 months after starting training for powerlifting. Went something like 450/415/600 @ 203

Did my second meet in Mar. 2012. Went 550/445/610 @ 220. The 610 deadlift was my opener and thats when my back exploded.

GHR
Went a lot better than last week

Squats
Went to a lower box than the last couple weeks, but Im still a good 3" high Id say. Its actually going much better, so thats good news.

Leg Extensions

Notes
My upper back is a little tender, so I stayed away from training it. Squats seem to be improving a bit.

[TheStigIsBig]

Erick...............im 202 right now

[darren.dugan]

I either missed it or don't remember but, what happened with your squat?

[Jason2459]
