Smash Fuarking Weight

[bluedot]

Grats on the progress! Adding weight to press is always one of the best feelings. Very nice squatting as well. Hopefully the reduced rest and recovery this week won't much up your progression rate!

[mjw8204]

Nothin' to it, right?

CJ, my man! Nuthin but success! Must feel good to have that 3x5x100 on the press! Felicidades!

[RipCJ]

Great work CJ. Nice job on that press.

Thanks, Ron. I'm very happy to be moving my way into the 100s now for press.

Thanks, bluedot. I feel that if you can add weight to the press, everything else should be going up as well. I only say this because it seems that press is always the first exercise to stall.

Nothin' to it, right?

Right.

CJ, my man! Nuthin but success! Must feel good to have that 3x5x100 on the press! Felicidades!

Thanks, Tim. Now I need go out and tackle that 3x5x225 squat.

Keep up the good work.

COMMENTS:
Squats went well except for my second set, form was awful. My third set was much more crisp. Press went even better, I finally can increase the weight again. I also didn't need to use much back to get the bar up. The gym is closed on Christmas, so I am going to have to workout Mon/Wed/Fri. This will only give me one day of break, but I think I'll be fine.

Congrats on getting 100 on the press!!

COMMENTS:
I had PR's all around, once again. Not much else to say except squats were pretty taxing. I'm not sure how much longer I will progress with squatting heavy three times a week, but it is coming to an end.

[no_one089]

Good numbers/PRs CJ and I think your squat progress will continue for some time to come

Keep up the hard work man, your bw is getting up there again.

[MuscleMan009]

WHOOOOT 225! GJCJM!

everything else looks good too

just curious but what is your squat stance?

[PokLim]

Great job on the prs!! Aren't you glad you didn't deload on bench? .

Keep it up. No deadlifts?? Ever?

WOOHOO! Now that's what I call FOUR WHEEL DRIVE!

Awesome workout, CJ. Everything's coming along nicely!

[Kiknskreem]

What are your current short/mid term goals?

That is a nice string of PR's by the way.... I somehow got unsubscribed from here.

Tons of blue. Nice session CJ.

[mjw8204]

Great session, CJ. Two plates for squats, and all your reps on bench. You should be very proud of your effort.

[MISSINGLINK]

Nice session CJ. I had to put my sunglasses on it was so bright with blue in here.

[RipCJ]

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for stopping by, Chase.

Congrats on getting 100 on the press!!

Thanks, Johnny. It is a decent milestone for myself.

My body weight has actually gone done the past few workouts.

WHOOOOT 225! GJCJM!

My feet are a tad wider than shoulder width. I also use the low bar position.

I deadlift once a week now, I started that a few weeks ago. It just gives me more time to recover.

WOOHOO! Now that's what I call FOUR WHEEL DRIVE!

Awesome workout, CJ. Everything's coming along nicely!

Thanks, Tim. It's about damn time I finally got back up there.

What are your current short/mid term goals?

My goals for the big three are in the first post, but I just achieved my squat goal. I also have the chance to hit my deadlift goal tomorrow. No idea what I want to hit next.

Tons of blue. Nice session CJ.

Thanks, Vic.

Great session, CJ. Two plates for squats, and all your reps on bench. You should be very proud of your effort.

I'm actually more impressed about how far my power clean has progressed than anything else.

Thanks, Link.

Had to feel great to slam that second plate on there. Grats

[r_graz]

Great job on the squat milestone CJ. Looks like the bench press is falling back in the groove too.

[demike]

Good job man, looks like you are on your way. Congrats on the PRs and happy holidays.

Thanks, Patrick. It's a great feeling when one adds a whole plate to a lift.

Great job on the squat milestone CJ. Looks like the bench press is falling back in the groove too.

Thanks, Ron. At least I've only missed reps on my pressing movements, and nothing else.

Thanks, Mike. Happy Holidays to you as well.

Getting to the gym extra early and lifting with the biggest crowd I've ever seen in a gym at once is a recipe for disaster. At least I hit my goal for deadlift.

[no_one089]

Good job on the squat PR and your deadlift is gettin' back where it used to be. Keep working hard on that press!

[BaFtub]

Lifting in the gym when crowded sucks doesnt it? Good DLs/skwats CJ keep it up

[bango skank]

Nice squat PR, CJ.

[r_graz]

Great squats and deadlifts CJ.

[bluedot]

You're definitely rocking the suburbs! I am with you on fighting crowds at the gym... it's especially bad if they're not overly considerate with their sweat and cell phone use! I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir on this one, though.

Excellent work CJ! . Merry Christmas btw!

Your lifting some impressive weight man! Hopefully it wont be as bad after New Years when everyone's New Year resolution is to get "fit".
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks, guys. Hope you all had an awesome Christmas. I received Practical Programming for Strength Training, and I've already looked through it a bit. I'm not sure when I'll start to read it, but I'm sure I'll learn a lot.
