The world needs to see the madness that is my upper torso - A DanG Journal

[zmcdole]

I'm pretty sure you'd bench more if you ate a cigar and washed it down with motor oil before every workout.

Upper Back/Lower Accessory

Squats
Same as last week

GHR
LOL MY STREMPH HAS WENT BUH BYE ON THESE LOL

Wide Grip Chins
72 reps

Leg Extensions
Lots n lots

Abs
Couple sets for the 6er

Notes
That was it. Srsly no wonder my pull is in the garbage can. My GHR stremph was pathetic today. When my pull was doing good I was hammerin GHRs HAM as a motha fuka adding weighted hats and bands and stuff. Doing this again will rejuvenate my deadlift and Ill get my swagger back.

[adamsz]

I like the plan man. Hammer those accessories and get your system back on line.

I must say I'm seriously impressed by your volume on chins. You weight 15-20lbs more than me and I can't do more than 50 total reps in a workout lol...

When you gonna start adding some weight on dem squats cuz? Seems like you should be adding 5lbs/session.

He is trolling you son. He is gonna come back here with at 600+ lb squat. You heard it here first.

Sorry for outing you Dan.

Dan G 72 reps Wide Grip Chins? Wow.jpg

[ErickStevens]

This is anecdotal but Pete Rubish noticed the same thing. Whenever he drops GHRs his deadlift loses strength.

I am pretty good at chins. Got dem lats brah. Yesterday I just did 6 sets of 12 and it was pretty easy.

I really don't wanna up the weight much on squats until I can hit close to depth with the form I need, and I can't do that yet. Adding 5 lbs/week don't do much for me right now. Id rather get my form somewhat comfortable then start adding weight at that point. But yes, hopefully that time comes somewhat soon :/

I wish you was right

U aware that's not consecutive, right? Lol. I could hit 20 or moar in a row tho.

Its srsly crazy. I didn't think slacking accessories would so dramatically kill my pull, but it definately has. I'm honestly not even worried tho, just mad at myself for letting it happen. Ill be back and stronger than before in no time.

bro you don't get an upper torso like that by being satisfied with PR's. you always need another one. the madness is developed from striving to be the best. Stop telling him to be content ******* <3

did not watch you lifting, was completely distracted by the cute dogs/10. The retriever thinks you are doing a good job though, he brought you a toy!

The dogs tend to take over they gym at times.

Ace says "Hi, Mark."

[arian11]

Lol at Rocky always trollin' your vids. Ace lookin' joicy, I think our dogs would race well against each other.

[darren.dugan]

Note to self: start hammering chin ups so I can bench like DanG

Do you have a Greyhound? If answer is no, then it wouldnt even be close. Greyhounds are srsly on another level when they run. Ace actually ran 33 races in Florida, so hes like an ex-professional athlete.

It doesnt hurt, DD. And good eye on spotting that video in the video. LOLOL

Lol no. Pound had him listed as doberman/bulldog though people ask me if he is a greyhound or lab. He's more on the amateur level, he's the fastest dog at the dog park. Probably another reason why people always ask me if he is a greyhound.





inb4 he doesn't look like a greyhound. i know, people are retarded.

[jlockleOSU]

I felt slightly incepted watching that video within a video. We must go deeper.

Hes a good looking dog. I could almost see him having Greyhound in him. Dem longggggg legs, smallish head. Ace says hes ready for a race. We aint never scurred.

LOL. Well, my training partner bought a TV for the gym. I have yet to get a cable box hooked up down there, so today we played my youtube channel thru his computer. smh lol. We watched ourselves lift while we lifted.

Are you going to play that last video on the tv next time so you can lift while you watch yourself lift while you watch yourself lift?

His body reminds me of a Great Dane.



Long legs, white chest, long tail, barrel chested. But his head and ears, not so much.

were these races ''tested?'' Probably used those cheater fake rabbits to make them run faster than they would if they weren't there. And those muzzles add like 5mph to them.

My dog wants in on this race too

You just asploded my brain.

Aces tail looks exactly the same as that. How much does your dog weigh? Greyhounds average 65-70 lbs. Theyre a lot thinner that Great Danes. And they have much thinner heads and noses.

Omg look at them run. Its amazing. As you can see, their bodies completely leave the ground twice during their running motion. Once when their legs are under them (dog on the right), and again when they are fully spread out. I think its true that they are only in contact with the ground 20% of the time when they are at a full sprint. That is why they are so fast. Also, did you know they are the oldest breed ever? /greyhound lesson

hahahahahahahahahaha
