Smash Fuarking Weight

[Farley1324]

Chains? New to me. Did I miss something?

What do they weigh? Do they ever hit the ground? If so, how much weight is on the ground at the bottom?

Started using them a few weeks ago for weighted dips and chin-ups. Each set of chains is 15 lbs and they go around my neck and do not hit the ground.

Hell yeah! 'Twas was a fun session to have with you, my friend.

That's what the program calls for. It doesn't have to be a set of five, it could be a triple, double, or even single. The whole point is volume drives intensity, so I do my five sets across for squat and bench press in the volume workout and then set PR's in the intensity workout. I'm just used to sets of five so I usually stick with five reps for the intensity workout.

makes sense, cool beanz & nice skwaatin. the "Comments: none" make your log seem so serious though, y so srs homie?

Btw, contrary to what I've been told by everyone... it turns out the chains weigh 25 lbs each.

There is no chance the chains weigh that much. 15 lbs seems pretty accurate.

Nice PR CJ. I think if you start hitting the wall soon a small reset would sort things out.

Thanks. I reset everything in January and I'm just making my way back to PR territory.

COMMENTS:
I haven't squatted heavy in two weeks, so that explains why I missed a rep. I almost failed the fourth rep as well. For bench press, I was very close to having it locked out. I was pretty upset after missing reps on both squat and bench press so there was no way I was going to miss a rep on deadlift, even though I haven't deadlifted in three weeks.

My training has been somewhat sporadic lately and there were things I could not avoid that caused me to miss training sessions, but now I am ready to get back on track. I haven't set any squat, bench press, or deadlift PR's in the intensity workout in months due to hurting my wrist and getting really sick in January and building back up in February, but that is going to change. I've been stuck around a bodyweight of 175 for the past few months, but I need to gain more weight. Every single day from now on, I need to eat one more meal than I normally have been. My goal is to get to 185-190 before summer. Bottom line, more lifting and more eating.

I like that weight gain goal

[BobH0skins]

Throw some oats and milk into a blender... practically 2/3 of my calories are liquid!

I have a feeling it will happen sooner than before summer, but just a guess. I'm on spring break now and it's easier to gain weight at school with the variety of foods at the dining halls.

I definitely get a lot of my calories from milk. Maybe even more now?

keep it up CJ

Thanks, Chris. What is your bodyweight goal at the moment?
