Jebus. Strong overhead press, CGBP and bench press! You're a pretty strong guy, im2m.

And what does a British prostitute's body feel like? I would like to find out.

You power clean the weight to your shoulders and then sit down with it before pressing?

Yea, I can power clean and front squat much more than I can MP. It is one of the many highly concentrated manly/stupid things I do.

how did all those lifts feel/ how far are they behind your old max? since you took almost a month off.
I also recall you saying you want to weigh 225 i believe? idk if you were being serious or not, but whens your goal to be at that weight?

225 is the weight I feel would most be ideal for me, but my main goal is just to get a better vertical, be faster and increase athleticism in general since I play a lot of ball (basketball, football, softball). Of course in order to achive that I gotta drop some weight. So while I would like to get there, I can't see myself getting there any time soon since I am not really shooting for it.

The 2nd 345 was a little rough, rougher than I thought it would be. Right before I took a month off my progression was basically:

135 x 8
225 x 6
275 x 3
315 x 3
375 x 3 (really 2.5 as I needed a spotter).

So it is significantly off, but honestly the first 345 felt fine, I honestly could have just done something like this:

135 x 8
225 x 6
275 x 5
315 x 4
355 x 3

When I was doing the 2nd set of 345 I was like "cramping" which just leads me to believe I am not used to having "2 working sets" since I am used to just one, since I don't really consider 315 a working set. Believe it or not, it was your guy's critique about IL's routine and having only one working set that made me alter this and give it a try.

*Edit: I think if I were to Max on Monday I would get 385. Last max was 405, if muscle memory does exists I should be able to gain some weight back in the bench soon.

[Jrahe42]

so you prefer only 1 working set? your also just back into the swing of things so i would only do 1 working set for the first month about, than push it upto 2 after that.

[im2manly]

so you prefer only 1 working set? your also just back into the swing of things so i would only do 1 working set for the first month about, than push it upto 2 after that.

Yea I prefer only 1 working set, because usually I'd bench 3x a week so it was more important that I bench 375 3x a week then say bench 375 and 365 on monday, 365 on wed, and 365 on friday. But since I am only benching twice a week, I was thinking 2 working sets would be a good idea. I was sweating like a bitch and I was extremely disapointed in everything, I am going to have to reduce volume at the very least till I get used to things. Tomorrow should be interesting as what I have planned I don't think I'll be able to get through considering what happened today.

youll get your old strength back in no time. I bench 2x a week so maybe thats why i do more working sets as 3x would make a difference and LMAO where is that quote from in your sig with IL and musicman? like what thread?

[Ironlife]

Nice session big guy!

Strong Bench presses and CGBP.
The quote about music man was awsome.

[The Shoeless Wonder]

[Blizzard589]

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to agree with TAAB for skipping all of those exercises.

But you have some strong ass pressing power, man.

DURATION: 50 Mins.

I CAN EXPLAIN:

Ok well just finished my first day back in a month like 5 mins ago and I was overly ambitious with the volume. I actually took it light on the flat BB as I wanted to ease back into it, but after my D.B. Inclines I was completely done. I am hoping it is just because I took such a long break and not that I have vaginaitis. I was somewhat rushed as I have somewhere to be in 40 mins, but that is still no excuse. After my D.B. inclines I basically just did one exercise for shoulders and two for triceps. I tried the lock outs on the bench but it was causing my a lot of pain in my shoulder so I just said F it. But my body feels like a British prostitute, very well worked and everything so that is a positive. In regards to the soreness, it wasn't a lack of strength type of soreness it was a endurance type of soreness so that is a positive as I should get acclimated to the program shortly and will actually be able to follow my program. My bad boys, I was so excited too...But tomorrow is leg day!

lol i know im late on posting about this one but nice presses you exercise skipping pussy
how do you power clean in a seated position? oh and if you can fit regular olympic BB plates on the EZ bar then it usually weighs 30 pounds

[im2manly]

No, what i do is power clean it first and then basically front squat it on to a bench and then press. And its definitely not 30lbs its a hollow bar. Man you guys are hard on the skipping exercises thing!

Is she your missus brah?

Nah guy she is Giada De Laurentis

Life tip: If you skip an exercise, do not say you skipped it just leave it out!

like jrahe said i would leave it out. i will let you guys know if i fail at something(such as those front SM squats) but if i decide not to do something i just leave it out lol. just weird seeing "skipped" as it gives me an image of a 6'4" 300lb man skipping around the gym lol(no homo)

CARDIO:
4 Gear-ups (20 yard jog, 30 yard sprint, 2 gear-ups are continuous so it covers the whole length of the football field)

4 Gear-downs (20 yard sprint from a pause, 30 yard jog, 2 gear-ups are continuous so it covers the whole length of the football field)

LET ME EXPLAIN:
Well, as expected, my numbers are down but my squat should recover pretty quickly. I could tell I hadn't done the front squats in a while as my abs and core and form all together were hit hard. The zercher were easy as shit, but at the same time they hit my posterior chain really well...I would have done more weight if it wasn't for the fact they tore up my arms and I had a lot more exercises to do. I forgot how challenging the one-handed deadlifts are, if anyone wants to really train your grip you should give them a try. The Full Contact Twist (all time fav ab workout) was almost like a freaking cardio session and afterwards my obliques were as sore as STYD's mom. Needless to say I almost said F the carido, but I forced my way through them. I could taste something irony in my throat and sure enough, yours truly puked all other the track (don't worry it was off the track) it was at this point I called it a day. So all in all aside from the squat I am relatively happy with the workout and I can definitely tell my body got worked.
