king crusher Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Lil basement workout during the apocalypse lol Not used to using baby weights (90lb dumbbells) so had to rep um out. First set I hit an easy 20, second 18, third 16. Here's my 20. Probably had 22 I'd guess. The power blocks are harder than regular dumbbells due to the cumbersome size and grip position but they do provide a good workout and are so versatile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working with 120's at the gym on incline. I'm sure I'd get the 130's for 6-8 reps on flat. For Barbell bench it's probably 315-320 I just don't max so not sure. The 90's(even the blocks) felt light though due to using the 115's-120's weekly for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Still in this guys. I don't have a home gym cause I own a one bedroom apartment just north of NYC so no space. But my buddy is a power lifter and is letting me train the powerlifts in his garage gym with him. On Wednesday, I started back up the program I was using before the pec strain. As with all programs it starts light so nothing worth noting. I was making amazing progress on this program before the pec strain so I am looking forward to get back to that level in the upcoming weeks as it ramps up. Also, my co-op board is letting me store weight plates in the community fitness room to train loading pin grip stuff like crusher, flask etc. And I bought a heavy band system that anchors to the door for accessory work like lat pull downs, tricep pressdowns etc. Always gotta keep moving forward and overcoming obstacles...........

Tommy J. Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Still in this also. Albeit a bit of a setback with a freshly broken hand. Might be a solid 3-4 weeks before I’m benching again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy J. Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 For those curious, I broke the hand trying to pull start a generator. Yeah... lame. I know. On my 3rd or 4th pull, the friggin handle came right off the end of the pull cord. Leaving the edge of the bricks behind me a place to absorb the leftover momentum from my pull. The exact part of my hand that took the hit is the backside of my palm. The same bones that I’ve broke before. But known as a boxers fractures on my previous breaks. this time, while it was the same bones, they broke from a different angle. It sort of happened fast I suppose. By the time I realized what happened it was already over. I knew it was broke though as soon as I processed what happened. I’ve broken the same hand multiple times before. Had that exact sharp twangy pain running throughout that also sort of wants to make you vomit, and also the instant swelling (which I find to be fascinating! ) just like my prior breaks. Hopefully it’s not a months long setback.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can keep Chez out of the commercial gyms for a few months with the Corona panic, it's a couple of 50 somethings stil standing. My evil plan is coming together nicely. Bwahaha In all seriousness, heal up quick Tommy. You'll be back long before this race is over. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Apparently I'm better benching once a week instead of 5 x every two weeks. Finally above where I was before injury. I'm going to give 3 hundy a ride next Saturday. Raw 275 x 2, MDSS 300 X 4, then raw 225 x 9. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he was and he's now coaching Shaw although I think it's unlikely Brian shaw will hit a 700lb bench. He's already past his prime, he's already 400+ pounds si he's already massive and his arms look really long. I'd say with proper programming with Josh he could get into the low to mid 600's. Unless he goes bonkers and rides a strong, big bicycle or something. Edited March 31, 2020 by king crusher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
