Meyer23 goes to the Westside

[meyer23]

Hey im a bro, i workout just my biceps and get big ya heard?
Blow that dude off and stick to the program, you will grow on this program given time Adam, continue to do your thing, dont stress the amount of weight your pressing continue to nail that form and drive those reps out.

Good starting in here.

thanks bob, i wasnt saying that it doesnt necessarily work but most people who dont research on this stuff dont really believe that there is any other way to do it thats all...yeah man i made sure the form was good as it should be

-105x2x8

D2.Close grip Bench press

-40x2x8
[i]wow, these curlz gave me a serious bicep pump it was unbelievable, they were just super pumped

warmup

comments: pretty decent workout, still trying to get used to the format, so far i like the wwest side program, feeling some serious doms from this week, considering i just started lifting again since forever ago,

this one guy who works at the gym was working out and started talking to me when i was just about to do my last set of curls why couldnt he just wait like 1 minute...he started saying that what i was doing didnt seem like it would be effective and i should do the general "broscience" belief of 1 body part a day and he also asked if i wanted to go through an arm routine with hime tomorrow when i just got done doing biceps?? so i am not going to work out with him tomorrow, i definately feel this programs effects(long comments i know,)

my first bob bump

comments: nothing really going on gym-wise, but i just got done with my research paper and i am so relieved and exams are comin up soon, in about a couple of weeks

my one class, trigonometry is not going well, at least for my standards, i have an 82 in the class, when my other grades are extremely good(ap u.s. history=95, honors english 3=96, religion=103, and spanish 1=101) i just cant seem to figure the stuff out and it just frustrates me...i think one problem may be that i havent taken algebra 2 honors yet, which i am takin the next 2 trimesters....i may post up my paper on here because of what the topic is

[The Solution]

Good work today Adam, dont stress 1 class, you will get it, keep putting in work and if you have to stay after and take time with your teacher to make things right.

Couple solid sessions there Adam. Good to see you focusing on the form - it will pay off big time.

Also great to see you demanding big things from yourself at school - good man!

[FullOut19]

fo sho dude, lovin the program so far

havent tried em but i have looked into some of them, not sure where i can do it the sprints and such, just a treadmill?

[The Solution]

Go outside, find a long road, and sprint!
Maybe hit up your soccer field?

[AllGenetix]

sprints are only 60yards max. you can find somewhere
