Base thaanks bro!
Fallen: i had done a power routine ve rthe winter man looks as it paid off, i hit 420 when i was still on the routine and can still do 405 i just dont see the purpose of hitting 405 every week for BBing sake
Line: Trying to get my hands on some loud colored weatsuits for the summer :spy:

LMAO NO ITS NOT! :eek4:
Paulie: i can hit 405 still i just dont wanna hit heavy weight all the time for joints sake Thanks for the support bro
EDIT: about a show: ive actually dropped 10 lbs or so and am around 12 % BF but i dont plan on taking it any lowr bc i have plans for summer school and dont think a show is in my near future. I also have t make an appointment w a dermotlogist that does surgeries bc i had cists(a form of acne that leaves scars) when i was 16-19 really and have marks form that so i need that removed befor ei think about a show. i guess i just plan to keep on learning how my body reacts to what kinds of training and food until then.

Damn if those delts aren't like a couple of watermelons ready to pop!

Hoooge work Beno, but it's what we've come to expect from a warrior like you bud. My delts feel dead just reading that session. Awesome work buddy.

As for your scars, is there any way of concealing them with a touch of make-up? My missus manages to hide the fact that she's a complete Werewolf with a bit of slap!

Respect to ya bud.

First, :49: @ the loud colored sweats. Secondly, the shoulder work is impressive as hell. 225 x 10 and then 8 is sick and it looks like you were able to hit your traps hard after that as well.

Onto squats, 405 x 10 ain't know joke, no wonder you were dead tired after that and hacks.

Man lifes funny.

I remember when I first joined BBD, and one of the first guys I hit it off with was you Benny, we were swapping advice and stuff and it helped me alot.

A few minutes ago I was in my log complaining about feeling like crap and stuff, then I thought hey I'll go and see what Benno has been up to.

Well buddy you've inspired me again, not just with your awesome strength and your power, but with your inner strength. The way you have basically said "well I can lift x amount but that is not going to help in the long haul".

It reminded me when I first decided to compete this year I was going to "CAN THE EGO" and lift right and build quality not quantity. Your reply to Paulie was the reality check I needed.

Thanks for grounding me again my brother.

Peace to you as well mate.
