Notes:

felt pretty good...still taking it easy as i'm hoping for a big day on Friday.

first time doing lunges...they're a lot harder than they look lol.

aside from about 3 sets, this is the only time i've done flat bench press in about 5-6 years. i could have pushed more but wanted to get the feel of it first. i'll probably be doing it regularly in a week or two.

[daYDreAmErX]

Lunges are painful, they make me wanna puke. I feel "solid" on my right leg, but my left leg is always shaking and I don't feel comfortable doing them. Anyway, they are pretty effective

Nice workout and your bench press is not too bad. You'll come up in strength I'm sure

Good night !

[Richie_Awesome]

Yeah, walking lunges are tough! When I first started, I had horrible balance, it's getting better, thankfully lol. I know they look weird to the usual gym rat, but us educated bodybuilders know what's going on

btw, those squats most have been killer!

yeah i wondered what i'd look like walking around with just 15lbs lol.

at the time, the squats weren't too bad. yesterday and today i can barely walk though. i think it was a combination of them and those &#$*&@)(#$ lunges

[SFriday425]

Yeah, lunges suck. It's all about squats, lunges, and DLs on leg day.

[iKermit]

Notes:
First full day with flat bench. 275 was very controlled and slow on the way down and i just lost my mental focus on the way up. i expect it to go up next time i'm feeling good. 135x22 at the end was extremely dumb. i was tired to begin with and that just did me in... lesson learned.

[SFriday425]

I'm surprised your bodyweight stays so consistent. Mine spans from ~187-206, even when I lift/weight myself at the same time of the day. Also, it seems like I'm heavier when I eat less during the day pre-workout. It makes no sense. I think they mess with the scales or something...

are you keeping a consistent diet?

[SFriday425]

are you keeping a consistent diet?

Weekdays are fairly consistent and water intake is similar everyday. I wouldn't be surprised with ~5 pounds daily variation but it ranges a lot more than that. Ah well, no worries as long as I'm upping my strength/endurance and slowly adding lbm.

Oh, and nice volume on your last workout.

[Dustin92]

Good w/o man..You'll get the 275 on bench next week!

[PowerBuilder08]

You'll get it man. Good looking workout too, glad you learned your lesson on doing 135 22 times

thanks

as long as your strength is continuing to climb, i wouldn't worry much about it than. if you haven't been working out that long, you could experience a lot of fluctuation too.

thanks! the last time i did flat bench regularly was around 6 years ago when i was 135ish and i'd be lucky to hit 225. up until the other day when i tried 225, it has been a big mental block. i had it in my head that i couldn't go beyond it. given that, i'm very happy with how today went. my shoulder is still not 100% either which makes me even more optimistic

You'll get it man. Good looking workout too, glad you learned your lesson on doing 135 22 times

lol yep...that's all well and good but at the end of the entire workout! very very dumb tiring myself out like that in the first exercise.

i gotta train smarter...

how often do you weigh yourself? Bodyweight fluctuating is normal, I only weigh myself once a week, every saturday on a empty stomach after I pee... whatever you do to weigh yourself just make sure its consistent

[daYDreAmErX]

I'm sure you'll get your 275 lbs next time

Have a great weekend!!

[IRONMANN1]

Strooooong bud!

275 will be nothing but an afterthought here soon.

yeah i saw you do that and i think i might do the same. i didn't exactly have the best rep scheme for a max yesterday but i just wanted a rough idea of where i'm at for a starting point. i'll probably be stealing your method from now on haha.

I'm sure you'll get your 275 lbs next time

Have a great weekend!!

it's so close i can feel it

thanks...have a great weekend too!
