Looks good man

You have officially become a bench and curl bro.

Quoted 4 troof!!




When is the 3 plate bench attempt?

[Juggernaut0]

Now we can't curl at a bench either? For someone who loves curls so damn much, you're not giving us many places to curl lol. My gym actually doesn't have any extra bars. If you want to curl with a straight bar (only way to curl IMO), you have to take the bar from the squat rack, or take a bar from one of the incline or flat benches.

helluvanicejob on the bench PR juggz. You're getting close to 3 plates man.

Then I guess taking the bar from the incline is decent enough. Once curls in the squat rack are...ashes... You have my permission to curl in the incline bench.

Thanks though man!

Looks good man

Thank you!

When is the 3 plate bench attempt?

Thanks Woodman!

3 plate bench is still a liiittle off, but make no mistake, it will be done. I've waited my whole life for a 3 plate bench. Can't believe I'm actually this close.

Tricep Pushdowns

Also threw in some situps.



Overview:

So I got away from my no spotter rule today... All I did was just try to be cautious, because I've never done this many reps at this weight. And what do I get? Spotter touching the bar during the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rep... The unrack felt surprisingly great, the warmups felt great, but then that... I'd love to say that I woulda gotten 5, but there's just no way I can say that. The first 2 reps felt good, so you can take that for what it's worth... So I'll go ahead and repeat volume weight and intensity weight next week. Frustrating when it feels like I wasted this past week... Right back to the no spotter rule, thanks.

Anyways, on squats I've gone +70 lbs. on my rehab without missing reps until today. So I'll lower the weight next workout, and continue to work back up. Again, more frustration, because I feel like a simple strain and a 2 week setback just completely wiped away any squat gains I had recently. Just tryin to stay patient and keep on grinding.

[KenshinH]

Hate it when the spotter steals your reps!

Repeating the week is a good idea though. You want to be sure you can hit all 5 reps by yourself before going further. As for squats, keep working at it bro! Think back to how far you've come on your rehab

[Woody-5]

lack of deads /10


strong bench work and nice skwatting. smart move to repeat the week since the spotter touched it- just a light touch can assist more than you'd expect

[FastCatChamp]

Easy as you go on squats. Caution can be good.

Dont use a spotter....miss a rep and then roll the bar down over yoyr torso and ballsack onto your thighs.

[Ironlife]

Nice benching big man! 270 still in the hands for reps is powerful stuff, you got 5 in you no doubt. How many do you think u had without any touch?

[mstatefan91]

Nice work in here. Spotters are always stealing people's reps. That's why you never use them unless you really know that person. Sucks to hear on squats but at least you are squatting now.

Time for deads Juggz. No excuses

I had at least 3. But 5 is very questionable.

Still real busy right now. A lot goin on.



Warmups: RC Work & Dynamic Stretching


Bench

95x5
135x3
185x2
225x5x5

1st set, setup sucked.

2nd set, unrack sucked.

3rd thru 5th set were solid.

Last set, last 2 reps were paused. Very last rep of very last set, even paused, that rep flew up. Bench strength has never been this strong. Feelsgoodman.jpg


Squats

95x5
135x3
185x1
225x3x5


Also threw in some sets of Chinups and WG Pullups


Overview:

On the very first rep on the very first warmup set for squats, had some tightness in my quad. Not sure if something brokedown form wise, but as the warmup sets went along, it seemed to go away. Still felt it a little in the worksets, but definitely nothing major. Gonna do some extra glute and quad stretching now. Something to monitor for the next few workouts.

So glad to see you doing 5x5 with two plates. Your progress is inspiring. Good job man. keep it up!
