CnP?

Also, strong picture... took me a while to figure out that those were DBs.

Yeah, they're tiny. I couldn't help myself!

Wouldn't that be a little too revealing?

That's why it goes UNDER the singlet!

Holy cow. I have trouble wrapping my head around how much you bench. I'm struggling to get 135 and you do it for 15??? Did you land here in a space ship?

Well, everybody's got the lift that they're the best at...bench has pretty much always been mine. My dad's a bencher, both my brothers are benchers - it's just what we're made for! Still fighting to catch up with Jen Thompson, but I'll get there one of these days!

She has both.

Both what?

[mab23]

nice work out - those are some monster DB's

[MadDogMalesh]

That's why it goes UNDER the singlet!

But but but... I think that would still be a little too revealing? Mother would certainly not allow me to watch the female sex powerlifting if they wore such short skirts. She would believe I would be tempted to masturbate.

They're pretty sweet.

Sunday running:

Mason (my brother that's not Link) and his girlfriend are in week 3 of "Couch 2 5K" something or another. They came to dad's to watch the Chiefs game, so I got to do today's run with them. It was fun!

Walked 5 minutes to the neighbor's gravel road.

Today:

Yoga. It was nice, but my stomach kept growling the whole time.

My dad's a bencher, both my brothers are benchers


Both what?

You mean one brother is, and the other should be because he's built better than either of us for lifting, but instead sells women's clothing and likes guys? And Dad keeps telling me "just wait" when I tell him my bench numbers, but mine keep going up and he keeps not going to the gym. I've also seen him squat over 500 with no training.

And both parts, like Castor Semenya!

Mason still benched more than he squatted in high school...just like you. And dad is probably one of a very select few to have rotator cuff surgery, take a couple of years off, then bench 275 on his first day back.

If I had testicles, I'm reasonably sure my gynecologist would have noticed by now.

[Fluster]

But if you had them, would you ever go hungry?

He benched 315 the day he came in with me. And Mason only bench 295 at like 230 bodyweight. Sissy. And I'm like +100 on squat to bench right now. So there. That's a bigger margin than you.

Oh yeah, and this isn't Angelina.

[koyongi]

Probably, because I'd still have to fight to make weight.

Yeah, but that was the SECOND day back. And +100 is still less of a percentage difference. So there.

Does Caslow know you are pre-stressing his briefs?

It just made me laugh. He's having me alter some of his briefs, and I can't promise that I won't try them out before I sent them back to him...

disgraceful multiply lifting, really.

[koyongi]

Nice squat video

Thanks!

Nice squats! Now what is a 'yes' machine?

...and thanks! The "yes" machine is the hip abductor. Basically, you double a band around your knees and sit on a below-parallel box, and push out. It's like the machine, except it's a band and you do a static hold instead of doing reps. It's good for helping to push your knees out during squats (and sumo DL).

Does Caslow know you are pre-stressing his briefs?

I warned him that I might. It was my first time doing Metal briefs, I had to test my workmanship. I'd feel super stupid/terrible if he went to use them and they exploded!

Tonight:

Monday's Crossfit WOD:
1600m run (9:22)
3 minutes rest
1200m run (6:46)
2 minutes rest
800m run (4:25)
1 minute rest
400m run (1:49)

It was cold. Like mid-30s. It wasn't THAT bad while I was running, but it took at least an hour before I had circulation in my fingers again. They were completely white. It was the coolest.

[hmotb555]

your crossfit workouts just tire me out!!! and I'm just reading them lol! I do need to incorporate sprints and stuff into my routine though...I'm not ready for crossfit but sprints could be my baby steps lol...great squat video..now when you do the box squats are you actually sitting down or does your butt touch the box and then you come back up? I need to put these in my routine too!

Eh, anybody's ready for Crossfit, you just do what you can!
I sit back and let my hips deload a little on box squats, but still try to stay tight at the bottom of the lift. It's a total hamstring killer.

shtrong benching, is that a gym pr?

shtrong benching, is that a gym pr?

No, it's 20# short of my PR from almost a year ago.
I'm still trying to get my raw bench setup/groove right, which is nearly impossible on the benches at Vessels. Ah well, one of these days!

Also, I forgot to add my last accessory!

awwww you're using the pink dumbbells!

[ByronOrpheus]

Wait, seriously? I thought your best raw bench was under 2 plates, but it's 245? In any case 225 @ 130 is absurd, you really are freakishly strong, like some kinda short amazon.

It's 97.5kg, those were 2bds

[Link815]

The benches at Vessel's are fun! For some reason my easiest big benches have been on that thing, even though it feels so amazingly awkward. But then again, I have to lift the weight off the catches and hand it to you.. Quit being short and they're not bad.

[ByronOrpheus]

My comment about the short amazon still stands though.

[koyongi]

Of course. You get a huge pump!

I'll just ignore the misread and be excited about this part. And one of these days I'll hit 225.

As a sidenote, how come Amazons always have huge boobs? According to what I've read, they would sear their breasts as a child so that they wouldn't grow because otherwise they'd get in the way when you were trying to fire a bow while riding a horse. I'm just staying true to the original. Except I hate horses.

I hate the benches at Vessels. One's too tall, but I can kind of reach the bar, and the other is almost low enough, but I can't even begin to reach the bar. Plus, I accidentally used the SMR bar on Tuesday.

JimDiesel had a really good day. Joe did not have a good day, but still pulled a PR raw DL. He ate too much last night.

[strongozilla]

Multiply briefs and pink dumbbells? You really have crossed over to the dark side. Are you going ahead with the IPF-Unapproved Rum4?

Good benching and decent volume. What's the plan on your bench at the moment? ME Bench plus DE Bench or ME Bench plus RE?

[MadDogMalesh]

Of course. You get a huge pump!

Ouch?!?? Also nice squatting as well.
