The Official Asian Thread Part 12!!

Here's the thing though, one you hit the triple digits with the dumbells, you're confidence level will boost so high. Then their won't be anymore hesitation anymore because any increase will still be in the triple digits.

I agree with the apprehension, I get it too, but only on barbell benches. Any other lift you can dump the weight, even squats you can dump forward on the traditional rack, or stop the drop on a spot rack. On barbell bench, I have this fear and don't want the bar to come down on my neck. With dumbells, you can drop them off to the side. Even with incline barbell it's still safe, if your pressing 3 plates, the most that can happen is it crashes down on your chest, not neck, and that buys enough time to dump the weight or call for help. That's why I don't use collars on barbell bench, because I can tilt and dump the weight if I had too...that's also probably why my bench numbers suck.

You're avi pics look great though. Just stick with your cut. The best part is once you start bulking again and eat more, the strength will just shoot up like mad.

Thanks bro. I am getting weaker with the cut too, but even so I thought I would regain my strength faster than I am now. Oh well, it's still a few months till summer. I'll deal with it as it comes.

My lady talked me into tanning myself last night with some tanning lotion... Woke up this morning TANNED AS FUUUUHHHH!!!!! Finna go hit up chest and triceps then maybe walk around the Laos temple a little bit here near my house and maybe eat some foods.

Happy Lao new year folks!

Happy new years!

the thing i hate about handling the 120's is that it's so big it's really hard to handle.

I'm cutting too, so dont use that as an excuse when u lose to me at the buffet @ the olympia

[toneekay]

Supsup brahs! Had a great chest workout today, but I didn't get to munch out on the yummy foods like I wanted... The little temple near our house didn't have too much going on since the weather was acting crazy again. Hope you all are having a good weekend!

[schmack]

I have lost strength on this cut also but not as much as last years cut.

I have seen some who claim no loss but I call bs until I am proven wrong.

On my highest weight I pushed 325-335 on the bench and now I can maybe do 315 but like Mykonos said it feels like more since I'm also fighting to control it with less body mass.

Gonna head out to do 2-3 hours of mountain biking soon

[Deltrap]

Hope you guys are having a great weekend.

My weekend is about to start. I missed going to the gym all week due to working crazy overtime at work. I am going to take my time working shoulders and tris and savor every minute at the gym.

Yeah, I have never been able to maintain strength when cutting. I don't know if its possible to maintain all muscle when cutting. Just like you, this year the strength loss isn't alot, but then my fat loss is going alot slower too.
My whole body is feeling sore today, and I'm tired, but I'll probably go to the gym in a couple hours and do something, even if its lower weight.

[toneekay]

^ I feel like I've been getting stronger on this cut... however, I don't see the fat coming off LOL!

Supsup brahs?

[dhukka814]

Sa bi dee pbee mi!

You guys have any temples over there in your area Sharky? Any plans for LNY? Or are you one of those Christian Lao brothersss???? -___-''

Sabadiee Pimai. There are Lao temples in Wa. We had a big Khmer/Lao party at a casino 2 weeks ago. Mor Lum and kin lao all night with my lao brothers. Khmer and lao unite.

Nice brah, I too would also use Laura Michelle Prestin's urine to bathe in

Maybe I'll give it a try next week. But you're right...I need to just get past the comfort zone of what I know I can do. Funny though, on other exercises, I usually don't have that mental block. Its just seeing that '100' on the dumbbell that somehow makes me think I will fail on it. Plus the weight is getting high enough where its kinda of a pain in the butt getting the dumbbell up into the ready position before I lay back.

I usually get them on my knees and then, in a single motion move the leg up and jerk with the arms to get it up to the shoulders, and then lay back and get the dumbbells to the upper chest area. But I remember a few times where I didnt' do the motion right and the dumbbell started to fall to the side and almost ripped my arm off at the shoulders. Maybe thats partly why I'm intimidated to push higher on these.

I was actually thinking that the gym should do an experiment and relabel all their DB's 5-10 lbs higher than what they actually are without people knowing. See if there are strength increases, etc?

I agree, I too would also use Christina Halkiopoulos' pussy juice as mouthwash.

Sup bros!

I haven't posted here in a while and that's probably because I don't lift that much anymore. I've been getting into boxing (training 4-5 days a week) and it's fun as hell. I've cut back to 2 days of lifting a week, and the only thing I am getting stronger at are pull-ups. Anyone else do fight training too?

really? i think it's pretty damn easy, was hard for the first few weeks but for some reason as my bodyfat % went down so did my appetite. I'm finding that i'm having to force myself to eat my -500 calorie diet. most days i go -1000 calories cause i just don't want to eat..at all.

I have taken a few falls of many angles. It's the only way to improve your skills. My worse fall was going head first down a 30 foot drop, I ended up breaking some rubs.

You're about where I'm at around the 12-13 % area.

Good job and yes it does suck to cut

[Hosum]

Wow, you've cut down a lot, weren't you at one point 250lbs? Good job little bro, I'll guess 13%...

yep, probably in that 12-13% range. I think I'm around there too right now.
Cutting can be easy if you're willing to sacrifice strength and muscle. But this year, I'm trying hard to maintain strength so its coming off slow. But I'm going to try to keep it up till end of May and then decide if I should keep going or not.

Yeah my heaviest weight was 245, then I decided to change my diet and eat right and the weight just came right off. Its getting a lot harder now though, last couple % before 10 is the worst I hear. Lost about 40 pounds on my bench press though so that kinda sucked.

My strength went fast, I'm trying to regain some of it back.

40lbs isn't too bad, I've lost more.
