mm55: Strong + Ripped

[400Lb Gorilla]

haha much appreciated 4G. Hitting them twice a week has been huge.



Awesome bro, look forward to seeing what you put up.

just noticed that. twice a week.... my shoulders always felt blasted from hitting press then benchpress on 2 different days. couldnt imagine pressing twice a week and making any gains. great work.

i havent seen you post anything about it but is benchpress coming back into the mix or are you still having issues with it?

lol you got a popular journal

you back to the same strength you were before? 240x6 paused seems like it would be right about where you were considering you did presses before the bench work

[carnage1985]

Haha some comedy gold from you in here last few pages.

Grats on the massive PR on seated press - I'm very jelly .. did I inspire you hahaha?
How are you going getting the heavier weight up into position?
That first rep tough??

And close grip bench .. is that with same bar as normal and how close . bout shoulder width?

Also you should superset skull with lying extensions - lower weight and do 8 x skulls then without stopping staright into lying extensions.
Then if ya keen add in CGBP for 3way tricep killer on EZ bar.

Hey man...

Pressing strength just like whole body strength is boomin! Well done on bringing that up..

Also, your custom user avi title suggests you are running IF...is that true?

[Ironlife]

Wow at the seated DB presses! Mammoth PR in here bro.

Im liking the OHP progression with the bar, what is the deal with that?

Not quite I don't think. I'm benching now with flared elbows and a flatter back, more BB style, but it doesn't hurt my shoulder. That's most important.

Yes you did inspire me to hit a PR. I get the DBs up by cleaning them into place. I have a hard time kicking them up for a shoulder press. Yeah first and last reps are always toughest with DBs.

The CGBP grip is with my index finger on the smooth part of the bar, so slightly narrower than shoulder width.

Not doing supersets right now due to incorporating FST-7.

Thanks Hayden. Not doing IF at the moment. Too hard to get the calories in on a bulk. Great for cutting though!

Appreciate it little bro. This is the OHP progression LIME drew up for me.

Best workout of the week brah. Awesome work.

Although, just curious... Why you still on 7 reps for CG bench and DB Press? Did you get used to 7 reps from LIME Bench? lol

Part of the OHP program he wrote for me. Whenever you see me doing 7 reps on assistance work its because I'm following his program.

Just went back and checked. Sorry yo. Only paid attention to the %'s he gave for the OHP. Haha.

Thanks brah, busy day at work. Hopefully I can squat next week.

Mirin' 525 rack pull

See you've added a lot more FST-7 work, do you feel like you get any growth out of it or just a good pump? I've been trying out blood starving for my upper body FST work where I pretty much hold my arms over my heart and prevent adequate blood flow during rest time and then hit it again. Pumped brah, so pumped.

I dunno just kinda started less than a week ago. I definitely get an insane pump and my muscles feel fukin wrecked after it. I'm having a really hard time walking around right now...

The SLDLs right into leg curls absolutely raped my hamstrings.

[LegosInMyEgos]

lets be reality.... you're only getting stronger because of my programming.

I'm intentionally overtraining right now as part of an experimental LIME routine. 3 times a weeks squat/ 3 times a week deadlift/ 3 times a week bench/ 2 times a week press/ 2-3 times a week front squat. Not sure I am overtraining enough though.

I don't even know what to say to this.

[LegosInMyEgos]

Deadlift is improving for some weird reason. I did 405x8 and 455x3 very easily. Probably gonna have to keep overtraining till it begins to sink.

Finally found and following.

[Woody-5]

Sick racks!
My Hammies hurt just reading those SLDLs and leg curls

That's fuking fascinating (srs). That's overtraining by a lot on DLs, and you're seeing gains? Have you upped your cal intake at all to account for this overtraining?

Finally found and following.

yo bro, glad to have ya.
