Aftermath:
A little bit lighter session today, as planned. We ended up going heavy on a few anyway, but at least we kept the number of sets down. Probably the same deal on legs tomorrow.

110s eh? excellent work Emerson

shoulder press is equally impressive along with those dumbell skulls at the end. Oh and I like the shrugs as always

40s were missing? I have nothing to do with that

looking forward to seeing some big weight from you tomorrow on deads as well

hit em up

 

[Chesticles]

Nice flat bench dude, You'll be pressing those 130's in no time

 

[Paulie]

Excellent job on the flat db presses, youre a pretty strong dude.

And excellent shoulder work after the chest, I know your shoulders were probably a little sore afterwards.

what happended to the 40's? somebody probably took them to the other side of the gym and did something stupid with them, haha.

nice work, keep it up!

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

and I missed quite a few of your sessions again I apologise mate, good shoulder session though Glex gonna get wide

 

[fallen]

nice db presses and great job with the pull ups those kick the shit out of me lol 305 squats is quite impressive i will make sure i keep an eye over here more often

 

[BigBen]

DB presses were great brother!

 

[onebigeric]

Those shoulder presses are serious weight Glex, as well as your shrugs. Doing such after some quality chest work makes said presses even more noteable. Good luck with tracking down those forties

 

[Glex]

Tweak: Thanks a lot, bud! You won't be reading this since you're at the Ahhhnold...which is where I'll be tomorrow too

Chesti: Hopefully

Paulie: Hey, thanks for stopping in and the comment, I appreciate it.

FF: No worries, mate. They're getting there...

Fallen: Yeah, pullups aren't my forte either Thanks! I'll be going for a new PB on squats soon

BigBen: Thanks man! Been improving while you were gone

Eric: I feel like the shoulder presses are inflated a bit because Line likes to have the bench one click before 90 degrees. Still not easy, though, thanks for the comment

Alright then. I didn't post this one yesterday, maybe because I'm ashamed of it Haha, not really.

320 lbs x 8...not the greatest form
270 lbs x 8

Spyder Curls

Calf Raise Machine
335 lbs x 12
375 lbs x 10
395 lbs x 8...whole stack

Aftermath:
Gaaaaahhhhh deadlifts. The 405 went up really easily compared to the last time so I tried for 435. The first attempt I almost locked out, and I may have gotten it but I think my grip was a little off and so my left arm was way lower than my right at the top of the lift. Next attempt I got the grip right but didn't quite have the strength to lock it. I'm pretty sure I would've got 425, and next time I do a heavy day I'll go for that before attempting higher weight again. I'm going to probably do some rack pulls to work on locking it out (Line's idea), and before I try to max them out again I'll be sure to get in 2-3 weeks of lighter days and heavier 4-6 rep days.
On a brighter note, I finally got to do spyder curls, and they were good fun. Tougher to breathe while doing them, but not to a great extent. I liked that there wasn't as much stress on the forearms and that my form wasn't dictated by the bench.

 

[BigBen]

your looking good brother! Deads are still strong bro 405 isn't ajoke man so dont worry that u didnt get the 435 u wanted bro it will come!

Godbless
Beno

 

[Glex]

Beno: Thanks bud. I'll keep working at it; that's all you can do, right?

Just got back from Columbus; Line and I drove there to meet up with Tweak and Paulie at Arnold's fitness expo. It was an interesting experience; there should be more pictures of Line and I once he gets the film developed (he forgot his digital and I don't have one so we had to buy a disposable one ), but Tweak put up quite a few already so you can check those out.

 

[tim290280]

Congrats on pulling (almost) 435!

Lockouts are a good thing, though another thing may be to do some singles or doubles at around 405 or 425. So do several sets at that top end, back off for a week pulling just one set, then see what you can do!

 

[BigBen]

Thats right glex all u can do is your best bro! Arnold expo sounded great man wish i would of went

 

[Glex]

I'M GOING TO BE AN AIR FORCE PILOT!!!

The Colonel just called me and told me the good news! I'm stoked!

 

[Clint]

I'M GOING TO BE AN AIR FORCE PILOT!!!

[Chesticles]

Congrats dude

You can park that big jet of yours in my hangar anyday

 

[tim290280]

That is so COOL!

Congrats!

So when do you get to crash your first $$$$$$$$$$ plane?
And when do they let you start bombing other countries?

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

congratulations mate but we dont want to see no freindly fire incidents where you pulled that trigger

Deads are well good over 400 is more than a respectable amount, keep at it bud

 

[Glex]

Tweak: Haha, you're probably right

Chesti: I know, I know...

Tim: Thanks a lot, bud! I hope I don't have to crash one A friend of mine caught a bird in the engine and had to eject during flight school, so you never know. I guess they'd let me start bombing places in the next coming 4-5 years, depending. Australia's safe, don't worry

FF: I'll try to have a selective trigger finger

Sorry I'm not getting around to the logs; I just really need to get to bed 'cause I have a test coming up. I don't even know why I'm worried about it given the recent development, but I suppose I still need to pass at least. I'll make my rounds tomorrow or Friday, promise

Aftermath:
Had a bit of a break recently and Line and I have both been sick (not from each other to strike preemptively at the gay jokes ), but despite that we had a productive day. I'm happy about the military press. That exercise is so scatty for me; today the 155 was a joke, but on other days it's really heavy I also got a bit of a workout in earlier because we played volleyball at our ROTC 'laboratory' today. Going to bed so I can study Modeling of Dynamic Systems tomorrow; should be hours of fun!
