Didn't feel strong, but progress. Great job mike. Keep the PRs flowing like wine I just finished overhead press. I got the 210 for 10 triples. Last rep was a little tough. 215 next week is going to be brutal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king crusher Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Went back 3yrs ago, 30lbs heavier bodyweight, same bench and same dumbbells even. Almost got 10 but I was using wrist wraps and a belt. My back was achy back then from all my high volume deads. The wrist wraps do help a bit. Getting close to that being a lot lighter and older. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke out the old stopwatch which I do from time to time to check bar speed and today it took 16.7 seconds to do the 6reps. It only took 9.5sec to get to 6reps 3yrs ago and 18.3 to hit 9 reps. So still pretty far off of that performance but oh well. Edited March 9, 2020 by king crusher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king crusher Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 If ate at a big surplus I could match the 120x9 performance at 212-215 I'd guess. Which would be awesome. Also though I recall I did that fresh and I hit 130'sx3 right after it. Today i did this after incline barbell so was a bit fatigued but didnt go balls out on barbell today. Worked up to a 275 single and did 225x8 then over to incline db 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Another really great chest and arms session. Moved up again. Feeling great. Flat Barbell Bench Press 6 warm ups 280 lbs - 10 sets of triples. Every rep was smooth. I called someone over to spot the 10 set (just in case) and they said it looked like I had a couple more reps in me. Feeling strong Incline Barbell Bench Press 185 lbs - 3x 225 lbs - 3x 265 lbs - 3x. Last one was tough but I got it Smith Machine Floor Press - Every Rep Paused 275 lbs - 3x 295 lbs - 2x 325 lbs - 1x. Dominated. My training partner said it looked easy and it felt like it 280 lbs - 4x. Wanted a 5th but I got out of position. Can't win them all. Machine Peck Deck FLys 190 lbs - 12x 210 lbs - 12x 230 lbs - 12x 250 lbs (whole stack) - 12x Tricep Push Downs 150 lbs (whole Stack) + 45 lb Plate - 3 sets of 10x Single Arm Machine Bicep Curls 170 lbs (whole Stack) - 4 sets of 8x each. That felt crazy easy. The extra bicep work I was have been throwing in is paying off.

Buccos1 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Although my bench seems to be getting stronger lately, it is also causing increased issues and pain with my neck. Because of this, I'm going to have to scale back or at least stop trying to push higher-and-higher. I've been having neck issues for the past year+ which have been improving with a variety of treatments. But, going near-100% on bench lately is causing too much pain, which just isn't worth it. So, sadly, I'm out of this. Will continue to follow though! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) when my ankle was real bad (grinding bone on bone and you could hear it. every step hurt). I had 3 doctors who wanted to chop my heal bone off, slide it over and screw it back in (plus take a tendon from another area to fix the one I tore and put a dead person's bone graft in my foot) and said I wouldn't be able to lift heavy again................I spent weeks researching and found a very minimal invasive procedure that is reversible if it doesn't work. I canceled that bullshit surgery and did the reversible one. It took 2+ years of rehab just to be able to walk for long distances but I am so glad I did it. I am better than ever.
