Line - "We Can Rebuild Him"

[PUMBA]

NICE!! That session looks good bro, well done. Don't be too hard on ya self militaries are one of those on again, off again lifts for me as well.

Just get those times down if you can....if you believe the Cortisol Hype.

Now I know I can trust you....what's that Fascia stretching "Really" like, does it work at all??

I can't ask CC for the truth , he tries to get all sexy and creaps me out...

nice flat with some good reps, impressive military as well after hitting bench so hard, I'm sure if you would have not pre-exhausted your front delts so much that 225 would have been cake.

supersets between side and rear laterals are a nice touch. Dips are great, and i hate you too

shrugs are respectable as always, looking forward to Glex's log to hear the stories.

I swear if its another "when Line got naked..." story I'm going to punch you in the face

Awesome Chest, Shoulders and Triceps session man, especially the Benching, really impressive weights used there (My benching sucks ), good bit of inspiration to boost mine up !

<<Haha, I like it

 

[BigBen]

I love that split line, chest shoulders and tris are awesome together! U put up some great weights too bro. And 225 on military press is nothing to be disgusted with man. the BB shrugs were impressive as well, and i hate tweak too



Good job brother!

 

[Line]

Chesty - That sucks they took out your dip station. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the one we have but I guess it's better than nothing. I was spoiled in High School where we had this set of thicker parallel bars that weren't so tough on the palms. Thanks for the compliments on the weights I used...next bench day will likely be a heavy one.

Pumba - I'm not a big fan on the cortisol thing because I've made such great strides training at similar durations for awhile now. I actually tried a new technique on starting my first rep on the 225 and it just didn't work out as well as I had hoped.

To be honest, I really can't say for sure how effective the fascia stretching is from a results standpoint because I've been inconsistent with it but it does provide a much greater stretch than the conventional methods so there may be something to it.

Tweakers - Thankfully I stayed naked through the entire session

Thanks for the kind words on the pressing and dips; I definitely went heavier on them because of you.

[Many Adjectives]Paul - Glad you like the name because you're stuck with it now

It's really an honor to be any type of inspiration to anyone on here so that means a lot and I hope you're able to get that bench of yours up to where you're happy (not that any of us will ever be happy, right?).

Ben - I'm really liking this new split as well so far and my numbers have improved across the board on pretty much every exercise. I have found that I like doing a tad more volume for tris though because my biceps are still slightly overpowering in comparison.


UPDATE: Well Glex and I were originally going to train today but he had a late exam and has PT in the morning so we decided to hold off. Tomorrow we'll hit Legs/Back/Bis and then Friday I drove home for Spring Break. Not sure where I'll train yet (I've sort of outgrown my basement) but you can be certain I will be putting sessions in...even some cardio!

Thanks for reading everyone

There's nothing to about where your military presses are concerned Line; 225 is serious weight; coupling that with proper form is even tougher.

Your barbell shrugs were excellent as well

Bench and triceps were nasty to boot. Crazy good session as always, Line

 

[Line]

onebigE - Thanks for the words of encouragement, but I do plan on putting up 225 for more than 4 reps next time I hit that exercise


UPDATE: Today was a real no-nonsense kind of day. I remembered to bring my camera to the gym for the first time ever so that definitely made up my mind on whether or not I was going heavy. Here's how it went down...

...and that's it for today. Sadly, I was going to video the 500 squat as well but my camera's memory card only holds around a minute of video time and I didn't want to waste the 485 video

Still, it was my last session before leaving school for Spring Break and I couldn't be happier. I actually drew quite the audience on my 5th floor squat and was just glad to get out of it without injury or embarrassment, LOL. I was grinning ear-to-ear for awhile after that and will probably have that same shit-eating grin plastered to my face for the next few days. Tomorrow I drive home and have the day off from training but after that it's back to the gym for me.

Thanks for reading, until next time: hit 'em up

 

[mvsf1]

OMG!!! 500 pounds on squats!!! We are missing that vid!!!

BTW: you big mofo, you should be lifting heavier on DB curls!!!

 

[Line]

mvsf1 - LOL, yeah my camera ran out of memory after two vids. Oh well, when I do get a video of me doing 500 I'll edit it into something special but since I'm driving home from school in a few hours I'll just post up this one for now.

at the weight of my curls; I did a higher rep scheme for them because everything else had been so heavy. I'll have to go above 50's for you next time :xxthumbs:


Video: Well, here's me doing 485 for a single. I was happy with my depth and form, and no, although it appears I stall for a moment Glex did not help me at all with the weight. Honestly, when I put up 500 on my next set, it probably went up faster than it did here (one of my spotters even said he thought I could throw another 5 or 10 on each side, LOL).

I wish I had the memory card that would've allowed me to get the 500 rep on tape but didn't want to erase over this one for a possibly failed attempt.

[FOOTBALL FAN]

good squat mate you wanna be careful letting Glex stand that close behind you well done on hitting up that 500lbs and 315lbs on the SLDL is well good

 

[Glex]

That was a longer stall than I thought. I bet it felt longer to you

His 500 rep went up much smoother. He leaned forward a little at the start but caught it and pushed straight up from there.

Rumors are circulating that your 500lbs squat video is going to have production costs upwards of $1500. Is this true?

 

[fallen]

great video i bet that little pause seemed like an hour for you. That is some strength bro very impressive. For the right amount of cash i'll film your workouts, but i need cash up front.

 

[Basebodyfitnesspaul]

Excellent work on hitting the 500 squat man, great work! I also acheived a PB today, couldn't be happier, it ain't quite as extreme as your's, but it was 200kg/440lbs squat for 3 reps! That was my previous one rep max! (Although it must be said, i have not maxed for several months due to lower back injury). Well, i'm happy with my squatting, you're happy wiv your's! We're both happy!

 

[Maxmonzter]

damn big boi, that 500 squats is really impressive good job bro

 

[Chesticles]

Go the flanno, you should cut the sleeves off Coleman style though

Huge leg workout man, extremely impressive weight

Mr. Burns: "I could crush him like an ant. But it would be too easy. No, revenge is a dish best served cold. I'll bide my time until ... Oh, what the hell. I'll just crush him like an ant."

 

[tim290280]

You make that look easy!

I'll post my front squat next week, you've inspired me.

 

[BigBen]

AWESOME BRO! u are really getting into some heavy iron man. I know exactly what it feels like to have all the stuff on your back joe.

Hardcore man, u really came along since i have been away from the logs section man your puttin up awesome weights bro!

Keep it up!

Godbless
Beno

 

[PUMBA]

GOOD SHIT!!

WELCOME TO THE 500 CLUB!!!!

Awesome work mate, loved the footage too, I thought you were going to keep going down it looked like a quick decent lol.

I agree with chesty, I have two Coleman style flanno's

jee nothing better then trying to hijack somebodies log

Edit: and to keep this comment log related. Squat looked good although I do think I saw your heels come off the ground Plus I think you could go deeper. lots of weight there nonetheless.

 

[Paulie]

Good video, that would of sucked if you leaned any more foward.

But good job getting the weight up. I like the flannel, are you a fan of Larry the Cable Guy?
