Solid as always. Looking forward to the progress.

340 x 1(very fast)
365 x 0(I told my training partner I think I bitched out on this lift, and wanted it again hadn't felt any real weight in a LONG time)
365 x 1(got refocused and more explosive)- PR with press command.

nice!!!!!!!

Holy shit Spec. Im sure the more frequent posters in this section can do about the same weight but dam. Thats some big numbers. Some day I will hit the 300 mark lol.
Been going hiking to echo trail these past few days. What a work out. Also been doing some research on diet plans and food groups. I had no idea how much tought and science goes into getting a lean body. So much work almost feels like a part time job lol.

Weight is coming on. ~200, pushing for about 215 but with some sort of definition.

:icon_eek: I'm out of here! Most I've pulled was 405, and benched was 335 off a 3 board
Dude...your forearms look huge in that first pic

Good work D. 10-15 more lbs to go..
Thanks!
You'll get there. Just keep plugging away. Just remember if you are trying to lean out your strength is probably not going to shoot through the roof.

Most I pulled was 550, and benched 375. However 375 was touch and go, where as this 365 was paused, and I waited for the "press" command from my partner.

525 was the most I pulled without a belt however.

I have a little aggravation in the area that got injured. I have been trying to stretch it out today.

Do you ever use boards? And I can definitely relate on the back issue, I still haven't deadlifted

I never have, up until Monday. I did some 3 board presses after that 365 set. Ended up doing 335 x 5. The first set I did 315 x 5 to get a feel for the boards, but I was bringing the bar WAY high(ie. towards my upper chest instead of lower chest) because I couldn't gauge my normal bar path with the boards there.. After that set, I corrected things, and it felt much better.

Going to do some speedwork tomorrow.

Right on. They definitely take some getting used to. The first time I used them I had a SLIGHT bounce and shot the weight up and out rather than back. Fortunately I had a good spotter lol

Get your gym setup man. I am very curious what I can bench on a real bench. My partner Chris says a good competition bench is probably worth every bit of 10-20lbs over these ridiculous benches at LA Fitness.

I plan on posting some current pics within the week. Wont be much but I wanna start traking by my looks rsther than the scale. Been too worried on what it reads as of late. Plus I could use some constructive criticism atm

I'm working on it man. It's warming up, now I'm impatiently waiting for the bugs to start infesting lol
Do it man! I'm anxious to see you now

Man I been reading the Scivation book you can download from their website. Its a great read. Ill rocommend it for starters looking to get into shape.

Might not be very impressive but I dead lift 215x8 today. Could have squeezed out a couple more. I feel like I'm finally getting back into the grove to start upong the weights

Good job man. That's really a good deadlift.

I got in a huge fight with some piece of shit salesman at la fitness today because I was deadlifting too loud. Said he was going to revoke my membership.

Mikey come out here and I'll throw down on a gym. Lol

Thanks. I really enjoy deadlifting.
Lol thats crazy

I'm finally feeling like I'm back to we're I was before I missd the month. Gonna start adding weight little by little.

^Man thats real good. I still havent done a deadlift lol. I weighed myself since I started. Dropped 10lbs im at 190.. I still dont know my bf tho.

Nice keep it up

Thanks. Ive never checked my bf. I know I should one of these days. I've actually stopped looking at the scale last week, I've been too focused on what it says

Yea I love deadlifting.

I got in a huge yelling match with this guy. Really pissed me off. He only did it because I was by myself. Never says shit when I am training with one of my partners.
Glad to hear man.
You better start deadlifting..lol
The scale is a tool. Don't obsess over it. it is like a dyno.

I bet. People like that make me dislike the gym greatly.

And ya I know that, but sometimes it's easy to forget that and focus on it a tad too much

Just email me if you start getting in your own head, I will help snap you out of it..haha

Will do thank u sir. After I get back on track some more I'd love to hit full session with u, if that's possible

That's awesome man. Quick way to build some mass for sure. Still waiting on those pics!

I'm working on it man, believe me. This baby threw a curve ball at me. It's gonna come squirting out at the busiest time of the year, and she's the one that handles all the office work.

Weighed myself Monday and came in at a sloppy 180 :thumbsdown:. Gonna see if I can't clean myself up and put on a little weight over the next few months. I'll try and get pics up soon.

I know mikey. Still real uneasy on posting pics lol. Such a girl I know. I'll have some up no ater than Tuesday morning for ya

Nah I understand. The internet just isn't ready for the mass amounts of sexy that will radiate from your pictures :cownana:
