Way to go J, strong squat session.

Thanks bro

[Jasonk282]

Hey great squat numbers man! , going for a singles at deload week for assessing my form at those weights

I wish there were more people around where I train who lifted for real, just curl bros, plyo ladies..and occasional some who cares a f'ck ..but very rarely at the hours I lift-

My gym is typically curl bros, it's a YMCA, but there are a handful who actually lift weight. We don;t lift together but we just happen to be there at around the same times. Usually we just bullsh!t with each other in between sets.

Sounds like my gym when I go at around 5pm. If I go in at 2-3pm, it's like having my own gym. Curl bros are people too...

Yeah if I go after 3pm when school is out it takes 4x as long to workout cause they got to check out their abs and guns in between sets of squat curls. SO I just go in right after I take my son to daycare at 8am only a handful of people are there in the weight room.

ROFLMAO. On spread.

Would love to, but with a 4 year old and another on the way...my money is tied up for the foreseeable future. Not ruling it out down the road though.

Your squat numbers looked pretty good from the start of this log, any reason why or is that just your lift

Good squatting.

Good squatting.

I ran Starting Strength from Feb to July this year. Started with a 145x5 squat now I'm um to 300x3 in 10 months. Not bad considering that I had both my legs and knees crushed by a 60LB slab of concrete back in '06 while on my 4th deployment to Iraq and spent '06-10 rehabbing and learning how to walk. Got medically cleared to hit the weights full time in January 2012.

Thanks my Irish brah.

I got bench tomorrow going for 200x1+ might just hit it for 1 rep then hit a few singles afterwards.

Im stuck on a 200lb bench atm. Doing 3x5s adding 5lbs a week but havnt got all my reps for the last 3 weeks. Best I got was 5,4,2 and they were a struggle. Gonna cut it back 10% and work back up again. Good luck with it man.

Cycle 5 wave 3 bench press

Bench
105 1x5
135 1x5
150 1x3
180 1x5
190 1x3
200 1x2
200 2x1

Good showing on bench today. warm ups were OK and the 180 felt pretty heavy, but after that no issues at all with the weight. Wanted to hit at least 2 and did, probably had 4 in me with a spotter. Again did 2 singles after and they were light as a feather.

BBB
135 5x10

Felt good. A few of the reps were pretty hard towards the end, which is good.

Chins
10,9,10,7,7 for 43 total

Arms were pretty shot after all that benching.

Cable pressdowns
45 5x20

These were a real killer. Had to do some rest pause on a few of the sets but was able to get all reps. These by far have helped my bench out as my arms don't fatigue as fast as they used to.

A nice strong day in the gym for sure, which is good coming off a long tiring weekend. Bench felt nice and tight today and I was able to hit some single on my heavy set. Progressing very well I think.

And now to the crucial question. According to my book; Pull ups are when you have the palms outward against the bar and Chins are when the palms are facing inwards against the bar..?

There are different points of view on this definition...

edit: forgot to mention, strong +1 day on bench, bro

Yes your book is correct.

[Celtic8Laoch]

Nice benching man, glad to hear it was light in the end. Good job.

Ive been doing 2 different one arm tricep extensions with a 42lb dumbell. Dont have machines so stuck with them.

Good job.

There's a lot of views on that. I like to say overhand pull ups, underhand pull ups and hammer grip pull ups.

Plus for a chin up you need to have your hands close together, pinkys should be touching in the bar.

Thanks. It felt pretty good after I got to the top set.

[Anthony21]

YEA BUDDY!!! Nice benching man.

[Jasonk282]

Light weight.

[ktj4l]

Ain't nothin' but a peanut! You should be good for that 245lbs on bench now, brah. You gonna test it next month?

[ddog171]

Nice job on the bench. For the tricep pushdowns, what type of bar are you using for these? Rest between sets? Only doing them on Bench day?

straight bar, I would do 15 reps then rest the weight while still holding on teh bar for say a few seconds then finish the set of 20, yes only on bench day...on OHP day I do incline press for 4x10

[MakeGoBoom]
