shitty about the back man but good news about the shoulder .
yeah the back sucks but id rather have that than the excrutiating shoulder pain.....at least with the back pain i can strap on a belt and still be functional....the shoulder was keeping me up at night......
bench day
flat bench...no more tucking my feet under....legs extended now and im getting good leg drive woohoo
barx20,95x15,115x15,135x10,155x5,185x5,215x5,225x3 x5, 245x3, 185x10 ssw chins x5 after every work set (225-245)
oh rope ext ssw rope curls (100lbs) 3x10
db curls went down the rack doing sets of 5 starting at 50 and down to 25 w/no rest
weighed in at 206 w/ track pants and a shirt on.....
lower me.....first time doing a lower me in about a month.....
box squat (below parallel) 135x10,225x10,315x5,365x3,405x3,455x1,495x1 green bands 585x1,635x1,685x1,725x1
the 725 was shit-heavy....might have had another 10lbs in me today
deficit pulls (4"+) 155x2x1,265x2x1,375x2x1,465x1,500x0....got it up to knee level but my brains were still fuzzy from the squat so i dumped it....booooo
reverse hyper 3x10
weighed in @ 208......none of my gear fits.....tried to use my briefs today and they just fell off......
after watching the video i realize my math sucks and my final squat was actually 765.....big difference lol.....so it went 585, 675, 725 then 765
holy ****....2nd time working out in 3.5 months.....and no more supplements......bodyweight down to 220 from 241.....wife pregnant with 5th child....im lifting au naturale now so 1st 2 months are going to be bodyweight and circuit type shit to get my conditioning back and so I don't go ****ing myself up.
This will be different,but likely better for you in the long run.What movements are you doing?
so I started back with a circuit of pushups, bb rows, standing oh db press, db curl, oh db tri ext......ive got about 185 lbs that I can put on the bar.....for lower I will be doing various squat and gm variations (with 185lbs I don't need a rack).....will be upgrading equipment as I progress and adding weight etc.....may be starting some kickboxing as a friend opened up a dojo and keeps inviting me in.....thinking that I need to set some new goals....perhaps kickboxing or arm wrestlin....we shall see hw the rotators hold up
Have you tried those handles with a rotating platform for pushups?You can go wide like a guillotine press and stay 8 inches from the bottom or bring your hands right beside your hips comfortably.Handy.I find ring presses really easy on the shoulders,you can find what is smooth.Body weight rows as well.
great idea (rings) !! primary goal is overall fitness and flexibility
welcome back and congrats on your 5th !!! Geez man , you going for a dozen ? :)
lol...thinking its time to get snipped....obviously the steroids couldnt do the job for me ;) ring training = brutal... but im thinking that the increased flexibility and stabilization is going to really help my bench and shoulder problems in general......im getting my thumbs buried into my armpits for every rep.....chest is soooooo sore afterward and no more shoulder pains!! im dropping my bodyweight down..hanging around 215 but a friend with gymnastics background is advising me to dump more weight......thinking of going and squatting this weekend....its been a loooooong while so we shall see how weak ive gotten
back at the gym.....squatted and hit 405 for an easy 3 and benched in a shirt and went to 365 to a 3 board for 3...couldn't touch any lower cuz the shirt just wont allow it.....not too bad since i haven't squatted or benched since last year......
Not too bad at all.I figured a way to add resistance on the ring presses,put on a neck harness.Quote:

I had to get bac in the gym.....the 18 yr old kid I had been traning hit a 425 bench with a slingshot....so last week when I hit 365 I had him hit 500 to a 3board in a single ply titan fury.....
Sounds like the kid has been eating his wheaties.
im not getting into that....since we started training last year I have been drilling it into his head that he needs to wait at least another 5 years to hop on the shit....he's had 2 minor pec tears already.....and someone trying sell him winny......I told him he use winny his benching career going to be shit by the time hes 20.....
I wasn't implying he was on.Boyer Coe benched 400 on his 17 th birthday.A member of the Hart family told me that Jim Neidhart benched 500 before he was 18,he has a barrel chest.A few of them out there.Quote:

done
thanks buddy :) no updates for me....but the kid that i train hit a clean 445 at 228 bodyweight and got a 465 red lighted because he stalled before flaring out for the lockout....18 years old....i think i was more pumped than him when popped the 445 right up....thats up from 365 the same time last year and in the same bench shirt ( single ply titan fury )....
**** that' s wicked. Make sure he stays healthy and he could go a long way.
buying a rack and bench today....its not super heavy duty or anything but it should work for a while.....been out of the gym for a bit so ill probably be running some sort of full body routine for a month or so to get my body acclimated.....think ive got a good hernia goin as well.....minimal ab pain but my groin is tingling on the right side....lots of pressure but no real pain.....woohoo
im lean as ****.....sittin just under 220....squatting once a week and benching twice......still don't have much plate weight but ive got a ton of chains that I throw on....enjoying being smaller/leaner
ahhhhh.....no working out for a bit.....got t-boned last week.....stiff back and some how I think I have a hernia....low low ab pain and it feels like my adductor tendon is going to blow out of my body :/ I can see my abs tho...all is not bad
How you doing man ?
