Andrew_s trolled a man in Reno just to watch him lulz

[B.Money]

Easy is good. How do those 8 reppers feel? I always felt they were pretty difficult after the triples, but then again, I would sometimes attempt them with no rest.

[Andrew_S]

The 8's feel light after the work set. I just try to sink deep and get as close to ATG as I can on the light stuff.

Slow off the floor on deads, but I haven't done that weight before for 5 reps, so it's new territory. Still need to get caught up in here, but that's starting to sound like an excuse and I just need to devote some time to see how lifting is going up in here.

[dhhampto]

Form looks good bro, especially on OH press. Im with you on the deads, finally upped the weight over the past month from 225 up to 355 for 5 reps. Im actually looking forward to deadlift days now, love seeing the lifts go up.

How long have you been lifting for?

[psychodiver9]

Mad jelly of 400 deads. Big goal of mine

[Andrew_S]

Thanks guys. It'll be 3 years coming up quick. Hasn't been the easiest to get this body to improve, but it's been fun.

Pretty blah day. Nursing a slight strain with my left quad, so I took an extra day off. 3rd rep on bench slowed to a crawl, as my groove was off. Fixable.

[psychodiver9]

Sick volume as usual

Thank you kind sir.

I'll just sum up the past two days since I was a lazy logging ******* once again.

Long as your not a lazy lifting *******, its alright. Really nice deadlifts man.

[Andrew_S]

Thanks, B. I'm not going to allow myself to be happy about deads until I hit 450x5.

[phozosado]

Lifts are getting SERIOUS man. Great seated overhead press. Excellent deads too. Really nice.

[psychodiver9]

Agree. 4 plate deads is a big goal of mine

[Lvisaa2]

Strong deads. Repping out 5 easyyyyyyyy. I miss your blasphemy in dem regular forums.

[B.Money]

Thanks, B. I'm not going to allow myself to be happy about deads until I hit 450x5.

455x5, it looks better with the 25 on the side.

[Andrew_S]

455x5, it looks better with the 25 on the side.

I need more 45's. I never find any deals on craigslist or whatever.

And thanks everybody. Progress on deads seems to go mental>technique>strength for me. My frame of mind pretty much dictates how the lift will go, more than other lifts.

[Andrew_S]

Not ignoring the log again, just taking a few days off to let my quad heal up. Haven't done lower body since Friday I think and it does feel better as of right now. If it feels good tomorrow morning, I'll get some work in. Screwed around on bench and it's at 250 right now which isn't very good, but let's me know where I am and where I need to be.

[psychodiver9]

Feel better bro

Because I'm a dumb-dumb, I worked out and it went OK. Hit my reps on squats this time, but bench was the same. Felt easier, but rep 5 would not have gone. I think it will go next week, so I'll probably give it one more shot before resetting on that lift.

[phozosado]

Iron-clad, baby. Iron-clad. Still got that work done. You can tax those rows later.

[Andrew_S]

Switching it up on rows again to find what works well. Lighter, controlled, higher reps. Dat burn.

[psychodiver9]

5 sets of squats and 280x5 on a bum wheel? Ill take 280x1 right now on two good wheels

You're a runner too, don't forget. Endurance and cardio training can have a negative impact on strength training. You're kicking butt while putting some serious distance on your sneakers.

I'm still below where I was on squats, not that I've ever been strong on the lift.

[psychodiver9]

Ha I don't think I've ever been called a "runner" before. But I agree. Expect my lifts to go up more after training for this race is over

I have a video I can post up later, but I got vocal to pump myself up for deads, so eh. Deads are starting to get heavy, as is bench, but I feel like there is a lot of room for progress with OH pressing and squats. That's my Madcow summary.

[Andrew_S]

^^^ Reminds me I need to update that. Went up some over this "bulk". Trimmed things up and looking to shed a few before making another push.



Kinda embarrassing, but I needed to fire myself up some. Cut out the dumbest parts before the lift. :P Anyways, videos are better than text.

[Lvisaa2]

Mirin' dat 'lightweight'... getting ronnie up in here. Forever loving the videos. I request one of you doing epic troll time. Please respond.

[Andrew_S]

Drew could do one if he wasn't getting banned every other day.
