HAHAHAHAHA THE GUY IN THE BACK

This guy has some mad gif potential

I do not know what to think of him :/ I fear he will lick me if I get too close

^^^ this x 1000

I swear everytime I watch one of your vids, I get psyched as Phuck for my next benching sesh.

Brb arching my back like you
Brb getting my grip wide as furk

You make it look so easy bruh. As always, your lifts are looking amazing. Keep it up brother!

Thanks Erik, means a lot.
There is benefits of the way I bench and downfalls, but it's what I'm strongest at. Arching is a lifestyle too :3
Focus on different techniques and you'll have your benching down in no time
Thanks again man!

Keep forgetting you're 15-16 Adam, dang son!

Hahaha, well I have had my birthday since so I am past that mark! Thanks man

Srs?

Jesus. Thought you were pushing 20's bro... Mind = even moar blown.

Haha, I get this a lot.
It is funny how people base a lot on age, I love trying to disprove it. In the end age means nothing as far as I'm concerned. Knowledge and application of it are what matter, and that's what I focus on

Its sad isn't it?


Only 16 and already pregnant

Erm
Says the 16 year old with the preggo belly

Oh by the way Shane, you're the father

was abnormally tight in the rotators and upper back again today, mustve used the broomstick for my rotators for a **** long time.
the weight was pretty easy! not too hard, so i am looking forward to the rest of the week :3
first time benching without anything going wrong when pressing which was great.

here are the videos (you can see i didn't arch as much):

105kg x 6 1st set:



105kg x 6 6th set (the video wouldn't trim on this for some reason sorry, but at least you can see that dude prance across the floor to get to the drinking fountain at 0:40.
skip to 1:00 for when i actually go to bench):



oh, and here is a leg progress picture. i know i didn't train legs today but i prefer taking pictures when cold rather than on a pump usually as i get a better perspective.

New page bump

Strength! Your videos have helped my bench lately haha

Thank you sir :3
Glad to know I could help!

Squat
120kg(264lbs) x 3
145kg(320lbs) x 3
165kg(365lbs) x 3
this was easy, wot

bench went very well again, nothing too hard! bit of a struggle on the second last set, but then the last one was easy again (Y)
still tighter than usual in the rotators/upper back but not as bad, so spent quite a while with the broomstick in particular.

i don't know what to say about the squat, i took things slower, after benching and i did better than i usually do. focused on keeping very tight and slow and didn't have much struggle, definitely easier than last time i tried 165kg. will have to look at keeping things like this in future :3
perhaps i went more than i should have on squats, but i felt great and i don't believe it will interfere. the volume is obviously very low.

videos:

112.5kg x 5 1st set:



112.5kg x 5 7th set:


165kg x 3:

I really can't believe how you transit from your bench set-up to the unracking of the bar so quickly and efficiently...it seems like second nature to you.

Great job on squats as well!

once you get used to something then it just becomes practically natural, differences like that can play huge differences on one's set
thanks broseph!

[Teenwolf2]

Damn man, your setup is indeed exquisite. Squats are amazingly strong still, how'd that happen lol

[AdamNW]

thanks James! i guess it comes with practicing it enough
i have literally no idea about the squats, felt like i had 5 in me :/ it surprised me too!

[jd007914]

In to see progress pics soon brah! You bulking currently?

[KrazyEyezKillah]

Whoa, 3.5 plate squat for a triple? Looked buttery smooth as well.
Bench is looking great as always my man. And I agree on the age thing, application of what you know to be true is what matters more than how old you are. I am still so fuking jealous that you're that age and lifting those kinds of weights, though.

[AdamNW]

perhaps after i cut :3 although im not disappointed with where im at now anyway, the recomp did a lot srs
yessir still bulking, slowly

thanks man :3 much appreciated - it was much easier than expected. it felt easy than when i squatted fresh a few weeks ago!
exactly, the application of what you know is the difference.
i am jealous of your leanness at your strength! haha

[Xuaxace]

I feel that the 4 plate squat is just around the corner, definitely will beat me at that, and 3 plate bench,

you are just a better version of myself :3

gj adam man

[Nexxus]

Nice bench and squats man. very close to 4 plate squat for sure

[AdamNW]

gj adam man

perhaps i should try the 4 plate squat soon :3
perhaps a 3 plate bench post Italy!

you would be past me if it were not for injury, you are too kind sir but that is just not true
you will be at the 4 plate squat very shortly once you can squat again, and the 3 plate bench is not far at all!

Nice bench and squats man. very close to 4 plate squat for sure

thanks man, i felt like i had 4-5 in me that day and that in itself could be equivalent to a 4 plate squat. and it wasn't ideal squatting conditions as i already had done a ton of bench beforehand!

[jd007914]

Of course I just hit a 4 plate dead and now youre going to squat that...one day Ill catch up!

[AdamNW]

Smolov Week 3 Day 3 ****ed up

Bench
Bar x 5
40kg(88lbs) x 5
60kg(132lbs) x 5
70kg(154lbs) x 5
80kg(176lbs) x 5
90kg(198lbs) x 3
100kg(220lbs) x 3
110kg(242lbs) x 2
120kg(264lbs) x 2 (will explain this in details, i didn't count it)
120kg(264lbs) x 4
120kg(264lbs) x 4
120kg(264lbs) x 4
120kg(264lbs) x 4
120kg(264lbs) x 4
120kg(264lbs) x 4
120kg(264lbs) x 4
120kg(264lbs) x 3 had to rush this, pretty annoyed i failed the last rep but i will have my vengeance tomorrow)

during my first set with 120kg, my forearm gave way on the first rep and it was ****ty so i grunted. a personal trainer then decided to lean the **** over me and yell some stupid **** in my face. i don't think it's possible to ask for a greater distraction when youre not expecting it, so i racked it and told him not to say **** to me in the middle of a set of all times (i was pissed lol)
the ****er then proceeded to say stupid things to me in between sets.
the second time i ignored him.
the third i told him not to talk to me.
the fourth i lost my ****.
went and spoke to people about it and i ran out of time at the gym so i was forced to rush the last and i failed it, was pretty annoyed.
i apologise to you guys, hate to let myself down. people can be such ****ing smart arses though.

anyway, hopefully failing a set won't wreck me for tomorrow.

here is the 4th set (i realised i forgot to film the first as i was caught up lol)

[AdamNW]

Of course I just hit a 4 plate dead and now youre going to squat that...one day Ill catch up!

i usually get a spotter when things get heavy but i was in no mood today



i have been wearing hoodies for ages, it actually helps with my elbow injury.
Xuaxace pulls it off well though
