interesting stuff. I'm going to have to give it a try this week.

[MomasBoyOnline]

would turn that puss puss into a pothole

[-=Zeus=-!]

Do you like decline benching? Since Ive been lifting Ive maybe done it 3 times lol

[rippedandforty]

Injuries sukk.


These hot bishes on this page don't. Dayum

Feels weird as phuk when you do them but I added them in recently. But yesterday when I did reverse grip bench press on smith machine after like 4 other chest exercises. I couldn't even DB decline 75 3x12 like I did the week before and I dropped down to 50s to still couldn't even press it and was like fuk it, I'm done lulz.

As for doing reverse grip bench I thought we took grip width as our normal bench so that's probably why my damn wrist was hurting. Also I felt like I was using some back to press it up (i dunno dog). Anyone else?

[blkbelt42]

good stuff G

[BabyOilBrah]

Nice DB pressing and whoa at the hammer curls lol. Doing them alternating I would assume?

I agree declines are pretty awkward. I like them a lot though, will likely be doing incline BB followed by decline DB or BB.

Chest/Bi's

I rearranged my days trying to get a better rest schedule. Nothing all that stellar today...but a decent day with a little bit of progression.

Flat DB Presses
15x100's
3x130's
8x120's
6x120's
*I really think I could have got 5 with those 130's, but I blew a lot of energy compensating for a bad liftoff on my first one.

G, do you do warm ups before jumping right to 100's?

[audieswu]

Not sure if srs about question bro...


Strong chest day G! I take you are doing a modified DC training now or just freeballin' routine?

I like decline bench a lot, actually. I just never do them for some reason. Do you not like them? Or do you just overlook them like I do?

I really think the majority of focus is on the front delts. It almos feels like the bar equivalent of doing cross-overs with low cables.

good stuff G

Thanks, man...you ever look into that California poppy for the pain?

yeah, alternating. I never did like doing declines with DB's...so, I'd be doing the opposite, lol.

G, do you do warm ups before jumping right to 100's?

The 100's were my warm up set.

nah - just free hand. I decided against DC just because I wanted to have more gym time. DC sessions are brief.

Strong warm-up sets lol

I wish my gym goes past 100's I max those bishes as well.

It sucks your gym has only 100s for a guy your size. I'm even on them myself and that is the highest my gym has. I'm trying to find a way that I can stack dumbbells, so I can do 1 arm rows.

I'm going to start ***** rigging equipment in the gym (no wacist). What it do, use the caribeaners off the hanging leg lifts straps, attached 5, 10, even 25 lbs. plates on that bish on each side of DB's and go to work.

I saw a bb'er doing that 2 years ago YGBodybuilder did them on one of his vids.

Alternate DB Hammer Curls
8x85's
5x90's
5x90's
*I intentionally go heavier on these. It seems to help me hit the brach's a little better before getting the forearm fatigue.

BB Decline Press
14x225
7x245
5x255
9x225
*Not very pleased with these...but there's always next time.

DB Spider Curls
9x50's
9x55's
7x55's

Wide-Grip Reverse-Grip Bench Press
19x135
10x185
7x185
*I think I did better on these last week. I was doing them at a different gym today, and this gym has mostly thicker bars. Obviously, that's a big disadvantage with this particular lift.

High Cable Curls
15x30
11x35
9x42.5
*each arm

Cable Fly's (Incline Bench)
11x30
9x35
8x35
11x30
*each side

Nice weight done for the db press. You must go to golds gym. My gym's dumbbells only go up to 120. Do you use your knees to balance the 130s on your chest?

YG is huuuuge. I haven't seen him on this site lately.

Thanks man. Whoever told me that it works the back a few years ago was wrong then. He was swole as fuk and really cut up so I took his words for it.

I like doing decline too, but not with DBs.

The 100's were my warm up set.

Do you do a pre warm up before your warm up set? :}


That is some strong ass warm up. All these bench talks makes me want to bench again.

[BabyOilBrah]

Meh kind of going back a while here- meant to post these the other week- but noticed they were still uploaded in one of my imgur accounts. People were posting images from vineyards etc.

Here are a few when I was in the Pacific Northwest.

A wine connoisseur you are, Marcus? I'm going to Beaune tomorrow which is one of the leading producers of wine in french. Wine tasting to top it off . Grab a flight over!
